I have been binging on old episodes of Shark Tank.  What products did you buy or use that you were introduced to from Shark Tank?

I use the Scrub Daddy daily.

We use scrub daddy’s, had no idea it was from shark tank. 

I tried a coffee flavored chewing tobacco substitute, but they primarily marketed it as alternative quick caffeine fix.

It tasted pretty good, but didn't really serve either of its uses.  I did manage to quit on my own pretty easily, but only because I finally wanted to and probably because I didn't suffer any nicotine withdrawl.  There are a couple substitutes out there that are much closer to the real thing, and once in a great while I'll pop in one of those.

I think.it might have been one of the first products in season 1

Scrub Daddy’s here too. That’s the only one I can think of. My buddy has one of those squatty potty stool things.

The Ring doorbell inventor was on Shark Tank (called Doorbot at that point), got an offer but didn't make a deal. A few years later, he appeared on the show as one of the sharks.

Scrub daddy, and I "won" a squatty potty at a white elephant party.

I have used a Scrub Daddy.  Don't own a squatty potty, but the concept of it has been imprinted on my b/c of that episode.  We have stools in the bathroom for this purpose. 

I was gifted a Bottle Breacher.

Glad to hear from you. I was planning to text you soon to see how you and the wife were doing.

Ahh I forgot that one. I was also gifted one, and it's pretty cool.

I've never watched Shark Tank, so I have no clue if I have anything that became a thing because of it.

A few years back I bought the CHORD BUDDY Kit for a young relative that was just learning to play the guitar.

Well, I guess if you've got some time to waste...

I only scrolled a little way, but I laughed at the "safety nailer" - smashing your fingers a few times learning how to hit a nail is a right of passage.  And, at the risk of offending pet lovers, the doggie car seat is ridiculous (and actually looks a little cruel).

I watched it once. Thought that all the sharks were dicks.

LOL, our dogs would have nothing of that. Our oldest dog in particular would rip my face off trying to strap him in.

Scrub Daddy

My wife got a comfy for Christmas and likes it

i got bomba socks in a Birchbox and they are the best socks I’ve ever owned

i got an ugly Christmas sweater from tipsy elves 

My wife has brought home wicked good cupcakes she got sent at work. I’ve had Batem Bagels at Starbucks. We have had Cousins Maine Lobster food truck in Columbus. We bought our dog some treats to I think they were Himalayan cheese treats or something like that.

those are the one I can think of off the top of my head.

Saw that one a few weeks ago.   Looked complicated to hook them in the harness, and man I dont know how many dogs would like that!

Really got into watching it about a year ago and enjoy the show. It is on enough and a go to and watch even if just for a few minutes at a time.

Anybody see the one where the guy told the O Leary guy that he would do a deal with anyone but him, and Wonderful told the guy to fuck off and get the fuck outta here!

I guess the name Dick Tank was already taken.

IMO, he's the only one that's an actual dick.  I've seen several shows, and I don't know if it's just to create drama/friction, but O'Leary frequently offers bad products perpetual royalty deals.  Equity can get diluted over time, but not a perpetual royalty.  I've not seen anyone take that deal, but if that's all you can get (including not being able to get a traditional small business loan) then you're business is probably doomed to failure.

I think I saw another shark come close to calling him out on it once, but normally they don't say anything because they aren't going to make an offer, and if that's all the person can get then more power to them.  But it's an absolute sucker deal.

I've only seen the show once or twice, and we've never bought anything because of it being on there, but we do own a Squatty Potty.  Wife had a friend who had one and apparently loved it.  So now we have one.

I read one of the sharks said corona would make 90% of the investments she made on shark tank go outta business. 
 

I watched my wife help build a company that sold to Walmart so it always fun to see what she thinks of their evaluations and offers.

I’ve actually read that Mr Wonderful is actually a really good dude. I read that Robert Hershoveck (sp) is the real asshole IRL. 

Damon, O’Leary, and Barbara have all done interviews on barstool in the last couple of months and they are all really good and pretty funny. 

I’m a big fan of the show and still dvr all of the new ones.

Same. Love shark tank. 
There was a guest shark on a few episodes that I really despised. Blanking on his name but he was in the technology space and was such a douche.
