Shark Tank US | Top 3 Biggest Deals

Kevin is one smart man, he pushes all the negatives of the product(s) out to make the other investors second guess, waits for them to be out, and when he's the last one left, throws out a lifeline to the entrepreneur(s) with an offer that benefits him and also makes the entrepreneur(s) feel like they have to take it

Exactly. I came here hoping to point this out. Nice one. He continually specifically says “our final offer, our offer to you is“ rather than asking for something

[@goldieryry2401]

And they should’ve let them walk. It was a very very stupid product. I mean I understand why the sharks made a deal but i think that it was such a stupid product. They started by presenting a problem and their answer to the problem was something completely unrelated to the problem. It was and is a very stupid product. Not to mention that their business plan was all sorts of wack.

I disagree with Kevin on the people not wanting to pay that for a glass of wine. Some people aren’t alcoholics but also don’t want too much booze in the house and only buy single beers and or wine etc just to have once in a while without being tempted to drink excessive amounts which is what entire cases or bottles promotes. If that makes sense, it might sound dumb but people do this with snack food because smaller portions don’t end up being binges like eating an entire bag of chips vs. Eating an entire tiny bag of chips even though they are more expensive per weight. That’s how I see it anyway.

[@zion4577]

Ehhhh, I think Kevin was right. Why do ppl buy wine to sip it and enjoy it. What’s the age range? Demographic? I’d say women, over 30yrs. Are they buying 1 GLASSS? NO. They are buying by the bottles, or bag or box just ask your aunties they don’t just take a glass and call it a day even at that price. They need a whole bottle and if it sells for under $10 why buy a glass for $3. Getting that glass to under $2 is the diff here bc it can be boxed up or sold on airplanes or select places.

[@joewas2225]

Kevin spoke nothing but facts.

[@rikumajumder1558]

You are speaking of a problem with alcoholics. Though the thing is that most people cannot afford alcohol everyday and that kind of stops them from drinking excessively in general. But whether someone is an alcoholic or not, it's just too dumb to buy a glass of wine. If you really have a problem with alcohol then you shouldn't be drinking in general. People who suffer from it and stay away from it, don't drink even a sip of alcohol cause that could make them addicted again. So a glass of wine for any person makes no sense.

the countertop milk maker (pretty much a keurig for milk) is a great idea!!! as a mom who gives my 2 year old daughter plant based milk bc she has dairy issues i usually make my own oat milk so that it’s better for her. i would 100% buy that to make the fresh milk bc i hate the process of making the milk.

[@KatsuKasuu]

I'm 24 and eat whatever I find but being able to make different kinds of milk for whatever I'm eating and types of cereal just sounds like it would add so much diversity to my food palette, the price is a bit steep but I 100% agree this is something I'd probably buy.

[@jaybrousseau3388]

[@dakotascott846]

One thing I do worry about with the product is cleanliness. Many self serve machines have a bad problem with mold growing in the lines, and a lot of cocktail machines failed for that reason. Leaks are another big problem. With how even plant based milk spoils I'd be afraid to have it in my lines and dirty the machine. If there's no system to keep it clean I would stay away from it

I think it was more about how it was "made instantly". She didn't know how the ingredients magically turned into milk flowing out of the spout, so a lot of the logistics seemed scary to her.

i get the wifi thing, but i think there’s a place for both, or maybe some kind of compromise. for instance, the new coke machines in restaurants that let you pick from a bunch of different drinks easily are much more preferable to a normal fountain.

[@lawliet3855]

That last guy was swindled. Kevin needed his product to get into Costco (he believed in that strongly given his deal of not giving debt and buying more shares if the company becomes successful) and they needed Kevin to get into Costco. I bet if he negotiated heavily he could have walked away with a much better deal.

Because having Zips along with his other products would increase his chance of Costco accepting his products. It was a mutually beneficial deal, that's why it was contingent on getting the costco deal. I'm really not sure how people aren't understanding this.

the countertop version is a winner - especially during Corona.The machine is best used for a store that sells only the milk, perfect branding. Idk. why they wanna build 100s of them and put them into expensive stores. It will take years and a ton of investment. Or make it a delivery thing. I think these type of businesses should focus on the max amount of profit to start out with and focus on where the most upside is.

Kevin O'Leary's investment in Zipz Wine was the biggest-ever "Shark Tank" investment at the time of the recording, per Just Wine. O'Leary, a self-proclaimed wine connoisseur and vineyard owner, was so excited about the deal that he tweeted about it. He guaranteed success for Zipz Wine if he could get it into Costco, where he thought it would be a perfect fit. Unfortunately, the product never made it onto Costco's shelves.
