Shark Tank Episode 422

PITCH: Shell Bobbers
ABC Recap 
I liked the concept of a bobber made out of a shell casing.  The issue for me is that I haven't fish in probably fifteen years or more.  Cool concept but unfortunately I probably won't be buying any anytime soon.   

PITCH: Wicked Good Cupcakes  
ABC Recap
These cupcakes were an appealing item I would consider buying a cupcake if I every saw one.  They looked pretty tasty and I also liked the idea of a cupcake in a jar.  The prices for the cupcakes seem reasonable probably after shipping they get expensive though.

PITCH: Tremont Electric 
ABC Recap
The idea of a device that charges my device as I walk sounds pretty good.  The issue with this product for me is that it is very big.  I couldn't see me carrying this thing around just to charge my cell phone.

PITCH: The Mission Belt 
ABC Recap
Belt looks pretty decent and I don't recall hearing this on the show but they donate a dollar of each sale to Kiva.  I think I would consider checking out one of these belts. I am not sure since I don't belt shop very often if they are reasonable priced or not though.  A quick search on Amazon confirms they are a little more expensive then a standard belt.  The additional price could account for the fact that these belt are supposed to  be awesome.  I would have to try one before I would be willing to buy one.

1.  The Mission Belt

Shark Tank Episode 405

PITCH: Cozy Bug 
ABC Recap
The idea of clothes that grow with your child seems like a decent one.  I remember as a child growing out of things all the time.  Also my son has very quickly moved from Newborn sizes into 0-3 Months sizes.  The one issue for me personally is I don't have any daughters so not a lot of demand for dresses around here.

Bottom line: I don't have any daughters so no demand for this product here.  

PITCH: Wired Waffles
ABC Recap 
I actually just recently started drinking coffee to get my caffeine instead of just drinking tea.  I haven't really jumped on the more alternative methods of getting caffeine.  My doctor would actually prefer I limit my caffeine some anyway so for me this product isn't a great fit.

Bottom line: Not supposed to consume more then 1 cup of coffee worth of caffeine.   

PITCH: The Spatty
ABC Recap  
I like the idea of a product that helps with not wasting things but I'm not convinced that I would have the patience for a product like this.  Being a man I couldn't use this product to get extra makeup out but I think it could come in handy.  But I think my bottom line is I have enough stuff to catch up on that I wouldn't waste time trying to save a few pennies using this product.

Bottom line: I don't wear makeup and am not sure I could really save enough money with this to try it. 

PITCH: Marz Sprays
ABC Recap  
This was an interesting idea although I don't know to many people who can't swallow pills.  I currently do not take any supplements and don't really intend to start anytime soon.

Bottom line: I'm not interested. 

Of the items presented in this episode I think my level of interest would be the following:

1. The Spatty (I could potentially use this for something I think)
2. Cozy Bug (Maybe if I have daughter someday)
3. Wired Waffles(Maybe if I was ever super tired)
4. Marz Sprays (I don't see me trying these)

Shark Tank Episode 403

 
PITCH: Liz Lovely Cookies
ABC Recap 
These cookies look delicious my wife who has to eat Gluten free is very interesting in trying them.  Using the company's website we found that a local Whole Foods was supposed to have them.  Unfortunately the Whole foods hasn't renewed there order in a awhile so no cookies bummer.

PITCH:  Rock Bands
ABC Recap 
The leather bands that this guy was selling were interesting but I don't have much interest in such a product.  It seemed like the Sharks agreed with me and were more interested in the trademarks then anything.

PITCH: FuzziBunz
ABC Recap  
As a parent who has a child in diapers I see the appeal of not having to buy a fifty dollar box of diaper every couple of weeks.  So far I have lucked out and my babies wonderful Grandparents have kept us well stocked.  Another appealing thing is not filling the landfills more the necessary.  Between diapers and diaper genie bags I really do feel like I am now contributing a lot of waste to my local landfill.  My wife and I are looking into at least giving these a try.      


PITCH:  Posture Now
ABC Recap  
My wife and I took lessons at Arthur Murray leading up to and for quite awhile after our wedding so I can understand any product that would help improve posture.  If my wife and I were still dancing a lot I think we would be really looking into buying one of these.

Of the items presented in this episode I think my level of interest would be the following:

1. Liz Lovely Cookies 
2. FuzziBunz
3. Posture Now

Shark Tank Episode 417

 
PITCH: Baby Loves Disco 
ABC Recap
This seemed like a fun product that would be something I would look into if my kids were the correct age to take advantage of such an event.  Currently this isn't a great fit for my family.  I can't remember what they said the price was but I thought it was reasonable.  Can't seem to see prices for events without entering email address.

PITCH: Lose 12 Inches with Any 12 Workouts 
ABC Recap 
This product was interesting I like the idea of the workouts being targeted at certain heart rates and being different for different folks.  Its really hard to judge without giving some of his ideas a try though.

PITCH: CellHelmet
ABC Recap  
I thought that at the very least that this would be a cheaper option then paying my cell phone provider for a similar service.  For me as a non smartphone user I don't think I need this product.  My phone isn't expensive enough to worry about.  I think this service could  be beneficial to other people.

PITCH: Cordaroy's  
ABC Recap  
This is a product that I really like the idea of and actually have a need for.  I currently have an old chair from Pier 1 that is starting to fall apart and we have been looking for a replacement.  These bean bags look like the could fill the void.  They look really comfy and the option to turn it into a bed is appealing as well.  One concern that I have is how hard is it to put the bed back into the bean bag.  If I do end up buying one a followup will be posted.  Anyone own one?

Shark Tank Episode 420

PITCH: Nuts 'N More 
ABC Recap
Obviously it is a little hard to pass judgement on a product that I was not able to taste.  However if the Shark's reaction is an indication then I would guess that this is a delicious peanut butter and almond butter that is also healthier.  My wife enjoyed that since she doesn't eat peanut butter it was good they had an alternative in Almond butter.  I think this would be something I would consider buying.

PITCH: PsiBands 
ABC Recap
My wife actually gets motion sick at times so at first I was thinking this product sounded pretty good.  In fact my wife actually bought a similar product.  The advantages of PsiBands product over what my wife owns is:

• they are adjustable
• won't get water logged
• come in different colors.

Listening to the women talk about how she thinks her product can cure cancer without really having any proof makes me think that her company isn't ideal to do business with.  So basically somewhat interesting product but sketch company.
PITCH: Neo Innovations 
ABC Recap
I thought this was the coolest item that was presented on the show tonight.  If I had a tattoo and I wanted it removed I would consider looking into this product.  The biggest downside is of course their lack of information about whether the product is safe. 

PITCH: Jeska Shoe Company 
ABC Recap
The product was interesting I liked the idea of being able to buy one pair of shoes and pretend that it was like two or three.  I was really liking the idea and I think my wife was as well.  Then I heard that they cost like two hundred dollars and I my interest went away. 

Of the items presented in this episode I think my level of interest would be the following:

1. Nuts 'N More  
2. Neo Innovations (If I had a tattoo it would be a lot more likely)
3. Jeska Shoe Company (Cool idea but pricey)
4. PsiBands

Shark Tank Episode 416

PITCH: Addison's Wonderland
ABC Recap
My first impression was that this is a pretty nice looking bedroom for a little girl.  Everything was going pretty well until they mentioned the price.  That is when I realized that this stuff while nice was way expensive at least in my book. 

PITCH: Muddy Water Camo
ABC Recap
I thought this item was pretty cool but honestly I don't hunt or take pictures of birds.  So for me the product is cool but useless.  If I ever did decide to bird hunting I would probably consider looking into this camouflage over traditional camouflage.

PITCH: Hip Chixs
ABC Recap
I'm male so this product would really fit into my life.  I did talk to my wife and she did like the way the jeans were designed.  She would have stayed interested if the price was better.

PITCH: Proof Eyewear
ABC Recap
These glasses do have a pretty cool look.  I also found the idea of wooden frames to be appealing.  I like the look as well as the idea of them being a little more sustainable than average glasses.  One thing I notice is that they all seem a little clunky maybe that is by design or maybe its a downside of the material.

Of the items presented in this episode I think my level of interest would be the following:

1. PITCH: Proof Eyewear
2. PITCH: Hip Chixs  (Mostly because my wife thought they were a decent idea)
3. PITCH: Muddy Water Camo

Shark Tank Episode 418

PITCH: Gotta Have S'More
ABC Recap
Hard to get a feel for a cupcake that tastes like a s'more through television.  Seemed like the cost was the biggest issue and I agree that it seemed expensive for a baked good.  I live on the East coast so to get one dozen of  these would cost $24.95(Usually 29.95) + $35(Shipping) = 59.95.  This comes out to about $5 dollars a muffin.  I think if the muffins were a little bigger the five dollars might seem okay but they are small.  I couldn't see myself being willing to spend 60 dollars to give them a try so I think I'm out.

PITCH: How Do You Roll?
ABC Recap
A lot would depend on how good this fast food Sushi actually is.  My wife and I both love Sushi and being able to get high quality Sushi faster then at a normal sit down restaurant was an appealing idea.  My wife also loved the idea of being able to customize it and get exactly what she wanted.  If I was ever near one I think I would be there.

PITCH: Pretty Padded Room
ABC Recap
This seems like a really great idea to me.  Feels like it would be a lot more convenient then going to see a real counselor.  One of the concerns that was pointed out by the Sharks did make me wonder a little bit.  The fact that the therapist were earning so much less then they normally could raised some red flags.  Since it is over the internet maybe they can make up a lot of the profit in the sheer fact of not having as much overhead though.  Seems like this would be an interesting option should one ever want to try therapy but doesn't feel like dealing with missing work etc.

PITCH: Smartwheel
ABC Recap
I really thought this was a pretty good idea.  Someday when my child is old enough to drive I hope there are systems in place to help keep him focused on the task at hand.  I think this would also be a great thing for companies to install in their cars and 18 wheelers.  Instead of relying on those how are my driving calls they would get reports about which drivers are dangerous and could lead to them being involved in litigation.

Shark Tank Product Impressions Episode 415.

The Green Garmento
I thought this was an interesting product.  I like the idea of not getting a bunch of cheap plastic bags every time I pick up something from the dry cleaner.  The price seems pretty reasonable but I have no plans to go out and buy one.

GRINDS 
Seems like a product that could have a big market.  Not something I would buy as I prefer to drink my coffee and don't plan to take up chewing anytime soon.

HOODIE PILLOW
At first glance the hoodie pillow seems ridiculous much like my first impressions of Snuggie which I will now admit I love my slanket so maybe it is a great idea.  But honestly I think the travel hoodie  pillow is a great product and if I was planning to fly a few times in the near future I honestly think I would consider buying one.

My Cold Snap
Seemed like a pretty good idea seemed like it would work but I'm not really looking to purchase an item like this.  I also can't say that I am remotely interested in spending 24 dollars for 4 that seems pretty steep. 

Of the items presented in this episode I think my level of interest would be the following:

1. Travel Hoodie Pillow
2. Green Garmento
3. Hoodie Pillow
4. Cold Snap
5. Grinds
