seacliffsal October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 I was really glad that the lock guy went with Kevin. Absolutely the right choice-Kevin does have a reputation as a tough negotiator and will ensure that this is a successful product. Even Mark agreed that Kevin was the right direction for him. Also, Kevin seemed to sincerely try to make multiple deals this episode. I wonder if he is trying to turn his success rate around and be more competitive. Although I agree with others that Lori's jacket was a bit too much, I have always preferred her look when her hair is up. I think she has a short neck, so when she wears her hair down it just pulls her face down too much. She looked fresher and younger to me with her hair up. I hope she continues to wear it up. I was disappointed that the teenager didn't get a deal for a real innovative product while the football boys got a deal for yet another version of a travel mug/cup. The one thing I did notice about the Soul Mender was that it seemed to move too easily (the base) when people were using it. I checked it out on Amazon and may buy one as I often have foot pain after a long day of standing. I thought hummus girl looked ready to cry after her first "no." I would like to know the sugar count, etc., to make hummus sweet.

aemom October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 It appears that the Canadian network is continuing to air the show on Fridays which makes me happy since I already have 2 other things to tape on Sundays at that time. I loved all the various comments about why Lori was dressed that way. I did not have a clue who the Gronk brothers were and I have no idea why the sharks had to play a stupid water drinking game which had zero to do with the product. They annoyed the crap out of me and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Surprised that the sharks fell over each other to get a deal. I thought the Sole Mender had some potential, but it seemed a bit pricey to me at $40 USD + shipping. The hummus sounds interesting but I'll be damned if I can remember the brand name. I would definitely try it from the grocery store. I was surprised that the lock guy chose Kevin, but I think that Kevin can indeed make this guy a lot of money. I think it's a great idea, especially with the backup keys. You can share the lock for a day at a spa or gym with your friend by giving them the key. For all the times my kids forgot their combination for their lock over the summer, this would help. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62597-s09e04-benjilock-ice-shaker-solemender-delighted-by-hummus/page/2/#findComment-3731316

bilgistic October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 I found the Delighted by Hummus at a different store in the Harris Teeter chain. They had the vanilla, brownie batter and mint chocolate flavors. I had wanted to try the vanilla and snickerdoodle. There wasn't a tag for snickerdoodle, so they don't carry it. The hummus was $5.99, which is about maybe $2 to twice what I pay for regular, spicy or other specialty hummus at Trader Joe's. I bought the vanilla, and interestingly enough, just to the left of the Delighted by Hummus was some "dark chocolate dessert hummus" by Boar's Head (the deli meat company). It was on sale for $3.99. I bought it. The vanilla hummus is good. The consistency is completely smooth, which is different from any other hummus I've had. It's the color of traditional hummus, and there are tiny vanilla bean flecks throughout. I can't compare it to anything I've ever had. It's thicker and denser than frosting. I don't know that I'd buy it again unless I found it on sale. Plus, I don't normally shop at the chain that carries it. I'm lactose intolerant, so the fact that I can eat it without issue appeals to me, but I can spend the same amount or less on some cashew or almond milk ice cream that's a much more intriguing sweet treat for some reason. The Boar's Head chocolate hummus looks and tastes exactly like fudge frosting from Betty Crocker/Duncan Hines. It's a bit intense. I love chocolate, and it's very dark, so I'll eat it, but I wouldn't buy it again. I also had to buy something to get the hummus in my mouth (other than just using my fingers or a spoon), and settled on honey grahams, which I never buy. That was another $3. This whole experiment set me back $14ish that'll be gone once I eat everything. It's my own fault, I know.
