CrazyInAlabama February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 (edited) Jax Sheets, and the T shirt brand-Great idea, too early, but I really liked the seller. No deal. (By the way, it's not just bachelors that never change their sheets). However, anyone who doesn't change the sheets until they are so dirty that they crawl off of the bed, and into the washer all by themselves, isn't going to spend money on expensive sheets. After living in the dorms in college, I found out that there are a lot of people who change sheets a lot less than every three months, and they were all women in my dorm. Pizza Cupcake-They sound amazing, and everyone on the panel loved them. I really liked the presenters. They really need to get the price down, and then get them in stores like Target (Target has an amazing number of Shark Tank foods). The woman was lucky that Lori's counter wasn't to withdraw her offer, Lori must have really wanted them as partners. Lori will be a great partner for them. I think they would be like a small, deep dish pizza, and I hope they sell them near me sometime, because I'm not ordering them for delivery. Ice Beanie-To help with stress headaches, migraines, and concussions. I love Daymond fighting with Mark for it. Mark will be a great partner for this. I wonder if the beanie would be a good way to cool down too? Draft Top-I don't drink so I'm out. Don't see the appeal, or why this is needed. They actually make a deal with Daymond.

KaveDweller February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 (edited) I tried to buy one of the ice beanies while the guy was closing his deal with Mark, and Amazon was already sold out. I was able to get one from their website directly. They had alerts on their website showing other sales they were getting and about five people bought while I was completing my order. I'm thinking they are going to do well. I've had migraines my whole life and thought it was brilliant. I can't believe Kevin didn't think people would be willing to put an ice hat on.....I'm guessing the man has never had a migraine. I thought it was funny that Robert was mad the Ice Beanie guy didn't listen to all offers. Like two weeks ago Robert told someone if they listened to other offers he was taking back his offer. You can't have it both ways. The idea of pizza cupcakes sounded gross, but the Sharks seemed to love it. And the guy was a chef from Italy, so I'm guessing he knows what he is doing with pizza. I also loved the woman standing her ground with Lori. Edited February 13, 2021 by KaveDweller 1 Link to comment
LittleIggy February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 I really would love to taste those “pizza muffins.” Probably because I’m not a beer drinker, I don’t understand the Draft Top concept at all. Three months without changing the sheets!? 🤢 1 Link to comment
Vermicious Knid February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 Aw, I want to hang out with the sheet guy too. He was fun. And did you notice...no sob story! He mentioned being from a village in Africa but nothing more, not even how or why he came to the States. Too bad he didn't get an offer but they invited him to come back. I still don't get what the beer top thing was. It opened half the can top instead of using the tab keyhole? The sharks were also confused and I'm surprised there was a deal.

bilgistic February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 (edited) The guys who never change their sheets aren't going to be the customers paying $150 for sheets they never have to change. I once dated a guy who bought $7 sheets at a discount store. They were translucent and looked like window sheers. How is drinking from the side of an aluminum can different from drinking from the top of it, if you're so concerned about the taste of aluminum? Also, I am weirded out by grody can tops, so I clean them before opening. Warehouses and grocery receiving docks are dirty and dusty. I'm not pushing that into my drink. Plus, I'm not a beer drinker, so for those reasons, I'm out. Edited February 13, 2021 by bilgistic 1 2 5 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 Great point about the dirty can tops. I find it interesting that Mark was the only shark that figured out how the beer can device worked, and he was the one that made the deal. Link to comment
DrSpaceman73 February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 Even beyond the thing not working, I don't understand the appeal of the can top remover. And how do you not avoid sharp edges? I want to try those pizza cupcakes Loved the first guy, so genuine as they stated, but too early. The icehat guy is missing his target audience. Athletes, cool down.....that's where you want it. It might help migraines, I doubt it. And yes chemo patients, other medical uses. 4 Link to comment
basiltherat February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 I wonder if the Bantam Bagel folks will be pissed that Lori now has a savory version of THEIR product. It seems almost like a conflict of interest. There is currently a commercial running (for a drug, I believe) where it shows someone suffering from migraines dunking their head in a freezer full of frozen vegetables, so there does seem to be relief with ice plus an icehat. 1 Link to comment

The problem is how you keep that much ice in position and stay comfortable, which the hat should solve. 1 3 Link to comment
mjc570 February 13, 2021 Share February 13, 2021 Are copper infused sheets really that effective? I admit that I don't change the sheets as often as I probably should (less than 3 months, ha ha) so I would be interested if they were priced right. Those pizza things - they looked good, I'd like to try but not at that price. You can also make your own. They're even called Pillsbury Pizza Cupcakes. Ice hat - I think it's a product with a lot of applications. That guy definitely needed a shark to help him, so I'm glad he got a deal. Beer top - I don't see the point of this at all, but I'm not a canned beer drinker. If it's that hard to use, I don't see how its investable at all. IF there was some kind of patent on the technology, perhaps. It was pretty funny watching them all fail to even get it to work. Thank goodness, no sob stories or precocious children. 2 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama February 14, 2021 Share February 14, 2021 With Bantam Bagels, the couple that owned it sold out to the same company that owns Sister Schuberts, and New York Bakery. The founders will continue to operate it, and the flagship store in NYC, and Lori still has her 25% of equity. All three will still get profits from it. So the Pizza Cupcakes are a compliment to the stuffed bagels, but not a total conflict. 1 Link to comment

I admit that I don't change the sheets as often as I probably should (less than 3 months, ha ha) so I would be interested if they were priced right. So...his pitch was sort of misleading. Copper has been proven to have antimicrobial properties. If his argument were entirely germ-related, sure yeah that helps. But it doesn't do didly squat about dirt. Sheets that haven't been washed in a super long time, yeah sure, they're gonna be germy, but they'll also be dirty, oily, etc. So the copper may be able to kill/be an inhospitable environment for microorganisms on the sheets, but that's not the same thing as clean. 1 3 Link to comment
Vermicious Knid February 14, 2021 Share February 14, 2021 I went to his website and the sheets are expensive, not out of line for a luxury item, but more than I see a college guy paying. Or more likely their parents. His bio is pretty interesting. Lots of possible sob-storyness and I commend him for not using any of it. The company is also selling socks and underwear besides the t-shirts and sheets. And currently masks that are supposed to combat the dreaded maskne. Link to comment

They want someone who has a product and business and sales already. They buy in and make money with as little effort as possible. From a monetary and risk standpoint sure that makes since. But from a standpoint of businesses that need real expertise, it's almost the opposite how it should be. 8 Link to comment

I'm on the east coast and I see Bantam Bagels in the grocery store all the time and wonder how they taste. Then I see the $5.99 price tag underneath the box and keep right on moving, lol. For me, the name Pizza Cupcake is the problem. The image it conjures up isn't a pleasant combo, IMO, but after seeing the Shark's responses to it, I definitely want to try one. So a better, more evocative name would be my first suggestion. I was also put off by their pitch about how tricky and non-portable pizza is because yeah, grabbing a slice of pizza on the go is hardly a challenge. But once they started talking about having their products at stadiums and such, it did seem like a good idea. Movie theaters, coffee shops, the grab and go sections of convenience stores, stadiums, it does seem like an ideal product for that kind of place. But does it need to be heated up? That was the piece I wasn't sure about it, if it was a cold or hot product. If it does need to be heated, maybe it's a smidge less convenient. I don't think I'd even bother fighting for space in a grocery store or at least, I'd focus the least on that part and the most on putting it in places where it would stand out.

Plus, I'm not a beer drinker, so for those reasons, I'm out. I also didn't understand what problem was being solved with this product. You need a cup-like container for your beverage so you make one out of the can...which already functions in exactly that capacity using the pop top opening that's already built into it. I just don't see people carrying this thing around or fishing it out of a drawer just to drink out of a can that they can already drink out of without any extra effort. I was shocked they got a deal, their desperation and backpedaling wasn't inspiring a lot of confidence. The sheets guy was awesome, I hope he figures it out and comes back at a later date, he was genuinely engaging. Or one of them should offer him some kind of sales job, he definitely has the personality to be a front man. 6 Link to comment
seacliffsal February 15, 2021 Share February 15, 2021 I just didn't understand the appeal of the draft beer topper. Like others, I don't want to push the potentially dirty can top into my drink, AND I would always be nervous wondering if the lid would come up while I was drinking and cut me. Who wants to carry that around? Anyway, obviously a lot of people wanted it if their sales numbers are to be believed. Agree that the name "pizza cupcake" is confusing and unappealing. It also looked like there was just one pepperoni on the pizza cupcake. They might be good in group gatherings with other easily edible items. Loved the sheets presenter. There really is no excuse to not wash sheets for three, or more, months. I wish he at least had gotten a mentorship. I personally do not have a need for the ice beanie, but think it's a really good idea. I have had to ice various parts of my body due to injuries and it is really had to keep the ice in place, so for those who want to ice their heads this is pretty brilliant. I cringed when watching some of his footage-he obviously has no fear. Link to comment
rhys February 15, 2021 Share February 15, 2021 I think the beer idea was so that the drinker could smell the beer better due to the large opening. But, as others mentioned, pushing a lid inward is gross, the opener had a steep learning curve & it's stupid. I was surprised that Mark didn't go all woo woo-- health claims on ice hat guy WRT migraines. Usually Mark wants to see documentation. I love the idea of the hat for hot sports days. 100degrees of summer baseball is a killer! 4 Link to comment

I don't know why anyone would be so desperate for a drinking glass that he would need to make his own out of a discarded bottle. The rabid inflation and recession in the mid-'70s still wasn't enough to make people think they couldn't go out and buy a glass or two if they needed them.

It didn't have the vice-like thing to hold the bottle or require applying heat to the cut to separate it. The one I'm thinking of looked more like a hand-held can opener. For what they are selling it for, I would think it would still be easier to go to the dollar store and buy 40 glasses instead of paying for their product and shipping.

LuvMyShows March 7, 2021 Share March 7, 2021 Just watched the episode, and ordered the Pizza Cupcakes, margherita flavor. My favorite part of a pizza is the crust, and all the sharks seemed to like the crust. I don't like a huge amount of sauce or cheese on pizza, so the ratio on the cupcake looked more to my liking. Plus I only want 1-2 slices when I get pizza, so this is more convenient, and it will last for weeks. Agree that the name is not good...I figured it would be something sweet that had a pizza flavoring, which sounds unappetizing. It was pretty expensive...25.99 for one box of 12, and 12.99 shipping, but for some reason I really wanted to give it a try. Oddly, the site called it "pre-ordering", which made it sound like it was back-ordered, but the site didn't say anything about that. I rarely order from Shark Tank, especially food, but I did try Mr. Wonderful's cupcake in a jar, and it was just ok. 2 Link to comment

It was pretty expensive...25.99 for one box of 12, and 12.99 shipping, but for some reason I really wanted to give it a try. Oddly, the site called it "pre-ordering", which made it sound like it was back-ordered, but the site didn't say anything about that. I rarely order from Shark Tank, especially food, but I did try Mr. Wonderful's cupcake in a jar, and it was just ok. So, replying to my own post, because the Pizza Cupcakes came this week and I just tried them! The box was enormous because it had all the dry ice in it, and the product definitely was kept cold. The taste was not disappointing, because I didn't really have any expectations. The first bite wasn't great, but it tasted better as I ate more. I had expected the center, with the cheese and sauce, to melt, but it stayed as sort of a glob. The 'crust' had a bit of a biscuit feel to the outside. It doesn't taste anything like a pizza, but the taste it does have is fine. They are convenient, so if I was going to be in a time crunch to eat lunch/dinner, I could see myself heating two up to take in the car. Don't think I will order another box, but I will definitely finish this box, unlike with the cupcake in a jar, which I didn't even finish. 1 4 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama March 21 Share March 21 (edited) Just saw a Little Caesar's ad. They have something similar to the Pizza Cupcake at least for a while, not the same brand but no shipping involved. They're called Cheesy Puffs, have pepperoni, and three cheese flavors. I did see the original Pizza Cupcakes at the grocery store lately, so at least you can avoid the huge shipping costs.
