While traveling in Mexico she purchased a manual citrus juicer which she brought home to squeeze her morning orange juice. She was surprised to find that manual juicers had been extinct in the U.S. since the advent of electric citrus juicers in the '50's. Convinced that the manual juicer is superior to the electric kind she re-introduced it to the American market with a classic retro design called "The Mighty OJ." Metrokane's Mighty OJJuicer was an immediate success in department and specialty stores around the country. Initially Ms. Kane ran the business from her apartment -- expanding her line of juicers and fighting a long but ultimately successful legal battle against Mighty OJ imitations (called "knock-offs" in the industry).
