The Sharks Question Fresh Bellies Marketing Strategy | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global

[@lotcus26]

If you were wondering on how Fresh Bellies is doing now: they use to be in a hundred stores, now they’re in over 4,000 stores. Their main product now are crunchy snacks for toddlers, preschoolers and adults. They’re making way more money now because of the change and has been advertised in popular shows like The Today Show. You can find them in plenty of stores like Target, Sprouts, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kroger.

I don't understand why she poured a bag of sugar and then placed fruit on the side... and then threw everything on the ground. Probably one of the worst demonstrations I've ever seen.

[@SamAlizadeh-w6e]

agree

[@oommmggggbtcpump2024]

Overeating high sugary fruits like banana is not healthy also, high consumption of fructose leads to weigh gain also

I think it is true about taste at a very young age. In other countries when people move away they crave their native taste again which is usually vegetable and spices not sugars.

[@vitaluka]

I moved to the czech republic from Canada, I crave the fats from the food. Burgers, fries, poutine. I could eat them every day.

[@debfryer2437]

It’s all very fine on paper but if the parents aren’t eating a clean diet they aren’t going to buy healthy food for their children. Educated conscious parents will automatically eat healthy themselves and make food for their children without buying expensive prepared foods.

[@traderzzz123]

Agreed! Just like how finance goes

[@SamOlof-nv9vo]

How many educated parents do you know that even have time to make food for themselves let alone their kids? Its about convenience - if there's no market for this, there would be no market for door dash, ubereats or healthy frozen foods

[@C0LDMachine]

@@SamOlof-nv9vo If parents didn't have the time, then they can just buy normal baby food instead of this. It's cheaper and it probably tastes better

[@debfryer2437]

@ If parents don’t have the time to create healthy meals for themselves or their children then they have their priorities completely wrong.

[@SamOlof-nv9vo]

@@debfryer2437 Maybe so. But its a fact that many households have 2 busy working parents and it is not always convenient to prepare food from scratch. There's a market regardless of wether you think there should be one or not.

[@thefireflyy]

Obviously this is the US where food wastage is not a big deal. For the poor and those in low-income countries, this is incredibly painful to watch. Can Shark Tank please instruct its contestants to stop wasting food? Every other food-related pitch has food being thrown on the floor. How is this a mission to improve food habits if you waste food?

Honestly I get where she's coming from. I'm the oldest child, so for my parents I was basically the test subject lol. They let me eat whatever and I became super picky. My youngest brother, though, was basically given fresh veggies since he was born, and he loves every kind of food now... meanwhile I'm 26 with the palette of a child XD

[@thepenetrator2521]

To me I think people are just too lazy for their kids so people like that make products like this to convince the parents that this is the right option though it is not it is more expensive to buy such a product and make something at your house it is just a rip-off. We all know people survived on the bare minimum and others are more wealthy but one thing can be said you can grow your own vegetables almost anywhere some Farms will let you grab some of their crops for a cheap price if you are in a bad area. You can you use half a tomato to grow your own tomato plant same with berries lemon and limes pineapple and other fruits add vegetables like that

[@1violalass]

At the same time, if you don't want to grow your own veg, that's OK, it doesn't make you a bad parent.

[@thepenetrator2521]

@1violalass that's not what I was getting at. Growing your own produce is cheap and easy which is good for those that can't afford products like this every single day when they could just make it at home themselves for a fraction of the cost

[@juliel.bateson4971]

"Lower income household bear the greatest percentage of obesity" -> yes, this is exactly why capitalism, entrepreneurship and whatnot cannot possible change societal issues. Poor people can't afford healthy food, no matter how you slice it it's going to be more expensive and no company can solve this. You need global policies for that to make sure lower income is not so low that you can't take care of yourself and regulation to forbid unfair competition that sell literately death on bottle dead cheap and saturate the market with their junk leaving no space for the actual good options out there. At the end of the day you can be billionaire with a lot of good will if the system is rigged so that you can't make a profit (or even just be at equilibrium) then you won't go that way.

[@rafaelmanolaros]

big no no she need to burn a huge amount of cashflow to reach shelf space and aquir distribution and then with exclusivity deals from the big companies will just kick her out of shelf space before she even brakes even. if she wants to do that terrible buissnes model she needs to try direct to consumer market mostly and let the big guys with a liscensing deal to handle retail. i hope god bless you all and your families🤲

The price is too high. Low income families can’t afford it unfortunately they will go the cheaper route which is the baby food with lots of sugar. If you really want to combat child obesity lower the price from the start.

[@freudianslip2192]

It's definitely a catch-22. The people who can afford it also have the lowest rates of obesity. The people who can't afford it have the highest rates of obesity.
