Scrub Daddy Shark Tank: What Happened Behind the Scenes | Shark Tank's Daymond John

[@BurritoBrooks]

When he told Kevin, “You’re out” you know he was confident in his product and ability to grow the company. And it was funny 😄

[@zwenkwiel816]

Kevin was just making a point with the 50% though. I mean look at his final offer, he actually tries to convince the guy to not give up more equity

[@randy_Savage82]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AlbeezKneez]

It was a stupid offer

50% of the company out of nowhere is disrespectful

[@edwardelric4975]

Idk where all the Kevin propaganda is coming from on the internet saying he's the nicest shark. Dude even spits in the face of entrepreneurs that he really wants to work with.

[@petemuzzillo]

He spoke facts when he said you don’t know who you’re dealing with

[@coltoncardinal313]

That’s where Kevin calling him an “idiot” was a huge mistake. That works sometimes with people who are not confident in their product or abilities and are unsure of their potential. This guy knew he had a great product and was capable, so he didn’t even let the “idiot” comment crack him.

[@HereIAm247]

Lori was the right person, because I think she was the most serious about the product, and was interested in doing the most to get the product out there. :) I do think some of the other sharks would have still done a lot - but not quite as much, and maybe not the same finesse. She is a great example that the effort you put into something, and the way you market it, will greatly impact the success of your product.

Laurie kicked butt in that meeting with the supplier and that conflict negotiation when they couldn't increase supply. I was proud of her!!!

It was really interesting and Laurie's business intelligence showed. The supplier was kindof a jerk at the beginning.

Daymond, watching the bidding war between you and Lori was quite entertaining. Comedy content aside, I must confess that I bought a Scrub Daddy from Bed Bath & Beyond and was impressed with the performance of product; it was just as advertised and am quite satisfied with investment. It’s also educational hearing your reactions and gaining a better understanding on your insights and thought process as you evaluate the bombardment of pitches that are presented to you.

I bought my first Scrub Daddy after watching Shark Tank. I was obsessed 🤩 with how good it worked. I later bought some white ones for my dishes. Three months later, that white sponge still looks band new. When I originally saw these sponges on shelves, I thought it was just some novelty sponge, but that happy face is important. That sponge also cost more, but less in the long run. I was using the all-natural 3M sponges (a 3 pack for $3), but would go through all of them in a month. One Scrub Daddy will last months (and we wash dishes all day). I also have one for bathroom and another to scrub the floor. Those looks new as well. I wish the inventor all the best!!!

Thank you!!! 👍👍

Lori is a genius from the start she didn't care about the marketing or statistics it was about the product she saw a banger and she knew it would be easy to blow it up.

[@mickoalhwint.andrada8080]

I just realized by looking at the sharks clothes the there's a huge probability that the same time the Scrub Daddy made a pitch, it was also the same day the wicked good cupcakes made their pitch. So two of most successful shark tank products coincidentally made the same pitch at the same day. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I'm addicted to this show.

[@Loruca]

You're probably right. I've noticed the clothes thing too. They probably film several episodes' worth in one sitting. And they might wear the same clothes for several sittings so that in post production they can sort out the pitches that would best fit together to make a good episode with a balance of wins and losses and to get each investor represented in the bidding wars
