What does the vegetable juice drink actually do? "Builds skills faster" is pretty vague when you think about it.
- Does it increase a sim's smartness or does it work in some other way?
- Does it last forever and if so, is it capped?
- If it's temporary, how long does it last?
- Does it apply hidden skills as well as the usual suspect?
- Does it affect badge skill gain?
- How big is the effect?
I haven't looked at the code, but Sims appear to learn skills about twice as fast for about 12 hours. It doesn't affect badge skills or homework, far as I can see. One thing I've noticed is that a Sim will suddenly put the book they're studying away for no apparent reason. I'm guessing this is when the effect wears off. Time to hit the juice again.

I've had sims doing this randomly since Seasons. I've never used vegetable juice. It seems to happen only with married-in sims, but then my sample size is small. It's much too inconsistent for me to tell why, but all sims doing it had positive aspiration levels and half-to-full on every motive.

I've seen this happen only with the education reward so far - sims seem to stop skilling as soon as certain motives (IIRC it's hunger, bladder, fun and perhaps social) are down on 50%. Not recommendable in combination with the skillinator, because the sim starts reading, stops, puts the book away, takes the book, sits down, starts reading etc. etc. without taking care for his/her needs, because they're not low enough for the skillinator to take care of.

I haven't done a whole lot with juices to this point, so I'm wondering if what happened last night in my game is typical of making juice with "tasty" fruit rather than "mouth-watering."
I stocked the juicer with a whole bunch of tasty strawberries and tasty lemons. I had 4 different Sims who were in green aspiration make strawberry lemonade, which is supposed to increase your mood to platinum. For 3 of the Sims it appeared to have no effect except to quench their hunger. For the remaining Sim (he was actually the third Sim to make juice), it increased his mood to platinum.
I had understood that making juice from tasty produce would have a mid-level effect, but that doesn't seem to be what happened to me. Can anyone put some light on the subject for me?

All I've managed so far is tomato juice, which does have a heating effect.
I did download Paladin's produce packing bench and the manual states: "All produce packed into crates becomes mouthwatering produce. I was orignally planning on trying to pack only like quality produce into crates and then labeling it as such (crates of tasty, mouthwatering and bland). I could never make the code to access the instance details of the inventory token work. I found code in the game that did what I needed, but I could never get it to returns the quality details that are stored with the inventory token when it's created. The data is clearly there, but all I ever got back was zeros..."
What I don't know is if the produce reverts to its picked state once placed in the juicer. If not, then the best quality juice should always be available if crated first.
Whether it produces the advertised results remains to be seen.
