I think the baby people messed up. Steve's offer was absolutely golden given he was the first to give them the numbers they asked for and he is the most qualified in the medical sector. I definitely get why he was frustrated that they passed him over.

[@Ackermoon13]

Yes I think that was kinda dumb of them.. I had chosen Steve in a second!

[@Whispurr07]

I wouldn't go into business with someone who acted like he did though. You want someone you can collaborate with.

yes. i also don’t see how they’d benefit with two extra business partners over one very dedicated one.

[@Gal-zn7km]

I would hands down have picked Steve, until I saw the way he acted when he wasn't getting his way.

[@LordofFullmetal]

@@Gal-zn7km Yeah I kind of agree with this. I thought they were lunatics for not picking him UNTIL I saw his response to not getting his way. He basically threw a tantrum the second he realised he might not get what he wanted - and that's a red flag when you're going into business with anyone, let alone someone who has much more power and money than you. I can totally see him trying to bully them into doing everything his way.

[@LordofFullmetal]

I just want to point out that Steve immediately started to throw a tantrum when it started to look like he might not get exactly what he wanted, and basically tried to pressure them into accepting his offer without thinking about it further (by threatening to withdraw if they didn't accept on the spot). They hadn't even given any indication that they were rejecting his offer - they just wanted to talk about it some more, and he immediately freaked out and went "Well if you don't accept right now, I'm out". That's really shady, and you should be concerned if someone with much more power and money than you, who you're about to go into a shared business with, starts acting like that before you've even sealed the deal. Because he's exactly the kind of person who will throw his weight around like that EVERY time he wants something.

But I guess his image appears intimidating for many for how he is portrayed in this show and how he’s treated by members (joke or not). But in business, expertise shared on the table is asset itself other than equity.

Then the things the other sharks said to discourage the couple from picking him and also their response when he got mad as probably the worst behavior I've seen from them so far.

Still, it's a great product and I'd be willing to try a bug cookie. Edit: It seems marketing teams may have helped to ammend this concern as her business has changed to "Circle Harvest" rather than remaining as "The Edible Bug Shop". Bugs remain on the packaging, but in a tasteful and even cute way. I'd love to try some of the new products they're offering now that I see some research has been put in to better marketing.

I feel bad for pitzstops company. Hyperhydrosis is a big problem for people and it isn't that niche. And I think they were really innovative with this. I have it and used maxipads in my armpits before I got treatment. I think they should rebrand a bit and try again, but I think also some of the sharks really minimized a medical issue that a lot of people go through.

[@justjenn83]

yeah it’s really not niche at all and have none of these people heard of dress shields? They really didn’t “invent” anything, it’s just their version… there were legitimate issues with their presentation and packaging but the product itself has been around for a very long time, I was so confused by their reactions lol

Tbh the ear socks is not the worst idea . I am a hairdresser and u have no idea how hard it is to remove dye stains especialy on the ears (and how uncomfortable ut is for both the client and I) . Even with Vaselin it will stain . We have hard plastic ones we can use , but i kinda like these because they are disposable , they can even put a pair inside box dyes with the gloves.

I've only ever used the toothbrush bristles after brushing my teeth to finish off brushing my tongue.

Dental floss also works. I don't like using extra products when simpler things work too.

The insect flour actually maybe a logical solution and maybe really good food substitute, but I think you can't get people to get over the fact that they are eating bugs. I also know that in are current processed foods we eat a ton of bugs a year, but it still makes people physically ill knowing they are eating bugs! Like humans have been eating bugs for protein since the dawn of mankind, but it's just so hard to get over. I'm sure they will rename it something Ausie so it isn't "bug flour", I am also sure it is completely healthy to eat and will not have any ill health effects and might be really much more health benefits, but mentally it is just hard for people to mentally to consume!

[@cthecheese1620]

Idk, I feel like many have gotten over the fact that the meat they consume likely comes from an animal that was abused from birth until death. It’s really the end product that actually matters, which is why the cookie was the first and only thing that was sampled by some of the sharks. Not being so forward with the source being bugs would probably help the business go further. Protein Flower is a lot easier to market than Bug Flower.

Got over it quick, would pick them up, and chase her around the house with them, eventually placing them outside. Now I let them stay inside, keeps the mosquitoes away. Not to mention, I have a toad that lives on my front porch and goes to town for dinner. Sometimes if you’re really up for it you can feed a spider ham/meat, it’s pretty cute bc they taste with their legs. Wasps are super carnivorous and I’ve had a couple let me feed them by hand. Honestly bugs are chill if you let them be. They’re anatomy is also really cool, like lil aliens. Only ones that can go are bed bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and lice. But even then, they all have a purpose in the environment. I went on a trip to Costa Rica and in the jungle our guild took ants from the tree and told us they were edible. Here’s the kicker, their main diet was mint leaves, so they literally were just crunchy mints. It was wild. 10/10 recommend

Pretty horrified the sharks heard she already sunk $80k (!!!!!) into that stupidity and didn’t tie her to a chair until they got it across to not spend another penny or waste another second thinking about this bad joke.

The issue I find with the insect one, as an invertebrate owner, is that hissing cockroaches are actually toxic in high amounts and dubias(or just most insects) produce ammonia.
