As he says "I'm happy" his voice cracked and he started to cry.

[@FortoFight]

In the British version I couldn't ever imagine the dragons telling the entrepreneur to get rid of the organic ingredients

[@techwiz81]

Kevin literally only cares about making money, anyone who has a product that’s more expensive because of a social cause he is offended by

[@christopherquintero6910]

Yeahh

[@christopherquintero6910]

@@techwiz81 i noticed that

[@wolfengod8277]

He’s willing to cheap out on the ingredients to save food costs without realising that the people that are interested in eating at the breakfast bar on a regular basis want that level of quality. Those options get cut back or swapped out for lesser grade options and they won’t stick around.

[@dizzyb111]

@@wolfengod8277 In a fast food setting that dreams of scaling on a franchise model it is more effective and streamlined if you use mass commercial ingredients for which you will never have a stock issue.

"Three Dragon's have been CeReAl kIlLeRs." Haha ohh boy

I’m wheezing.

[@SynthMusicWorld]

Jenny from UK Dragon's Den teleport's in: "this is a fantastic idea, so I'm out."

[@brandon8900]

Oh so they have a Barbara as well?

[@socawarrior1263]

i was in the middle of drinking some coffee and almost splattered it reading this . lmfao

[@bradymiguel]

Why not just upcharge the organic option? Problem solved.

[@ashtree80]

And cereal is so cheap!

[@garbygarb31]

It's a buffet. Not a la carte.

[@TheCozyGameress]

But he's literally the owner so he can change it to a la carte so... That's not the reason lol. @@garbygarb31

[@andersonaldo1340]

In Canadian dragons den, one dragon goes out and the rest follow suit within seconds with little to no reason

[@Garycarlyle]

Its still worth watching but its the worst. Kinda boring.

[@ArmyJames]

$3.95 per unit is way too cheap for that product. He should be charging $5.95 minimum for that - what Starbucks charges for the same thing.

[@dgardiner8158]

This is a 14 year old episode from season two price’s hadn’t inflated the way they are now also eating organic wasn’t as mainstream

[@101marketplace4]

Agreed.

[@sadikmeah4057]

But he's no Starbucks

[@sandhyashreep]

Kevin: Food is excellent. For that reason I'm out. *And takes a big bite of the food*

[@Ven1Vid1Vici]

Is Kevin the Canadian shows version of Jenny? 😂

[@CabbageYe]

@@Ven1Vid1Vici not really

[@dbeaus]

I love it when the they say we started at 0 and our sales are up 50%. When you start at zero, It's pretty east to get 50% increase. Know a 50% year one to two increase would be worth talking about. I have watched many of these, and Shark Tank and Dragons Australia. These folks just don't like franchises.

[@matthewbell4273]

If there’s another lockdown then the breakfast business is toast

[@fazayal83]

He should have fit a flow signal on the cereals

[@SocialWorkProfessor]

Or maybe bring in Rory for some seaweed options.

Jun. 19, 2017 - If you're craving milk and cereal in Toronto, you'll have to eat it at home. That's because the city's newest cereal bar has abruptly closed ...

This is what Peter Jones love to see - go all the way.

[@tonevicar-fr5gh]

For his whole presentation, he looked like he just crapped his pants. He didn't smile until they got turned down

[@Garycarlyle]

3.99 even in Canadian money is a lot for a bit of cereal.

[@dylgib477]

how tf is a cereal fast food running 40% food cost when legit restaurants with a wide array of products can run under 30?

[@carriegraham6385]

'Cereal killers', nice pun

[@withgoddess1119]

@Joe Marley nothing to do with this cereal bar story

[@rscott2247]

I hope that this guy can find a way to get his costs down and make some reasonable coin ?

[@team3383]

TYPICAL : Dragons: "WHY Good ingredients ?" Owner: "because it's healthy and it's what the consumer wants" Dragons: "Why can't you just feed your customers sh"t and make MORE money ?" ...

[@kurostyx9124]

i believe the organic cereal was unneeded and most likely there are cheaper organic cereal too

Mike's Cereal Shack

[@ScottOSaurus]

Does he know they make cereal travel bowls/ cups. Who the hell wants to go to a casual dining place to eat cereal?

[@southernauslanlearner544]

i think the price is very cheap compared to other fast food. i also wonder how many staff he has. If he worked alone he could save on staffing costs. That is awful no wage for 2 years.

[@bobbuilder118]

I think he could sell it for $5 each

[@daviddd_edgar]

Would you really pay $5 + tax for a cup of celeals?

[@shannoncarlson6960]

I appreciate entrepreneurs, but it's so unconscionable to put your house on the line when you have a family. Shame on him! He should not be thinking at all about expanding when he hasn't even taken a salary. He's desperate and trying to get cash anywhere he can. I feel sorry for his family.

[@henryhaigh7575]

The end interview was brutal sounded like a broken man

[@stuff1784]

The poor business owners on this show!! The dragons absolutely annihilate them!

[@ashtree80]

Does anyone know if this guy made it? Is the cereal bar still around?

[@billymanziel5666]

It’s closed

[@titusmccarthy]

Closed in 2017.

[@stephenhosking7384]

I came to the comments to get that answer. This was one where I really wanted the entrepeneur to succeed after the Den rejected him. A lovely guy, a hard worker, and a very good business idea. So sad that it folded. I hope he's gone on to something successful.

[@12345ngb]

In DD CANADA, the entrepreneurs tend to ask for a lot of seed capital

I am watching these Dragons’ Den videos on a cereal basis

[@physetermacrocephalus2209]

I'm sorry, but when you haven't worked in 2 years, and your house is on the line and you're 1 flu away from everything falling apart - you don't have a baby. What a stupid thing to do. The guy's gotta be desperate and his wife should be knighted as a freaking national treasure.

What that Dianne Bruckner has to add to this I really do not know. As far as I understand this, she is a no-one, with nothing to add at all. Someone correct me please.

[@ArabCritic]

She's the host/narrator. The US version has one, you just don't see him in front of the camera. The UK version has one that used to be seen on camera but not anymore. He's in the back. These shows need narration, that's why they hire them.
