[@vpatel1631]

[@preston0808]

This product straddles between being a fitness/gym protein drink, and a daily lifestyle/enjoyment chocolate milk replacement. I think that's their biggest problem.

[@rukawakaede6573]

I actually tried the product, the taste actually is okay if you consider it a protein shake or canned coffee. However, it it's a chocolate milk substitute, it's a bad product. They just gotta market it differently

The producers are the ones that choose the companies, right? Shark Tank obviously wants companies that fall on their face in front of millions of views. They say, why come to us pre sales… well obviously the producers wanted a pre sales company on the show. It’s an entertainment show.

[@oreopuppies6411]

nothing wrong with that in my opinion, it's still free publicity and marketting for their business and sometimes outside investors find these small businesses through shark tank and invest in them too. Also it's more interesting and entertaining then having 100% good business ideas on the show

what really pushed the sharks back other than that crazy evaluation, is the fact that the product doesn't taste good

[@robotpanda77]

Dark chocolate can be pretty bitter so Mark's reaction may not mean much. My concern would be more the price tag. 3.99 for a can is a lot and who really cares about protein? A bodybuilder will go for something with less fat and more protein like a shake and the average joe doesnt really care about protein.
