do they last forever?

$50 if they last for years doesn't seem so bad. To be honest though, I'm not super picky with my coffee though. I never had that much trouble with temperature, but it does seem pretty cool.

maybe im just out of the blue, but i felt like coffee juilies technology was pretty incredible. That being said, 5 to keep a thermos heated is excessive and would take up half of the container.

I'd imagine they did research on it, and coffee drinkers aren't kids, but they can't possible be chocking hazards right? I can however see some idiot take a big swig and crack his tooth or something on one.

the cream scenario kinda changes my mind a bit as I don't drink my coffee black, but as someone who either burns their tongue or heats their coffee in the microwave often, I'd buy them... for $20.

Like the sharks I thought hot mom's scented dryer sheets were better than her bag.

The ice cream was pretty damn cool too. I'd like to go to one at least once in my life. Going to find out if there's one anywhere near me.

The magnet dude irked the crap out of me, but I can see how that's a solid idea. One of those products that I shrug and say "yeah i can see people buying it" but want to smack the presenters for acting like they've reinvented the wheel.

good episode. it had everything, good products, solid pitches, and a smoking how milf. ... and next back, repeat. Why do they show a preview for a repeat episode? no other shows do that.

oh and, here's another example of me not knowing the american consumer. I cant believe how well those chain chicks are doing. I didn't think that would take off, but I guess women will wear anything.

i dont understand why they all hated on the ice cream one. thought it seemed super cool. my guess was that they had a long pitch and we missed out on a lot of details in editing

curious as to the heated rocks which i didn't

would love something to keep a bath hot. i remember a woman on canada show had insulating cover but i'm thinking more heat the water

I think all the sharks liked the ice cream idea.

if it takes 5 Joulies for a 16oz. cup of coffee
and it takes 30-50 gallons to fill a bathtub halfway (let's go with 30)
it would take 1,200 Joulies... or $12,000 @ 5 for $50...

I didn't think the Joulies would be a chocking hazard, they'd just be annoying if they slide around. Kinda like having ice at the end of a drink, except a lot bigger, solid, and the beverage is hot.

As per wiki
Probably not as effective but I'd much rather have them built into the cup.

Yea a coffee thermos made of the stuff is a much better idea and more practical. People that need such a solution are avid coffee drinkers who sip all day (also more likely to drink it black) and they probably have their own thermos. As an occasional coffee drinker, if too hot I just cool it down with cream or ice cubes and drink fast.

Ice cream was awesome but the sharks might have shied away from their numbers, requiring B&M franchising, and it being a seasonal/one time gimmicky type product.

milf had a great ass and super douchey looking husband

Agreed - kind of a throwback to earlier seasons when it was less "made for tv".

The outfit that the stuffed animal mom wore just defied words. I'm not sure she could've be able to put on the skirt had she eaten 9 extra calories that morning. When she asked if she could talk to her husband, Cuban and Kevin were like "oh yeah, sure", knowing the view they'd get.

Next week looks like a rerun. Good news is we're only at episode 14 of what is supposed to be (per Wikipedia) a 24 episode season.

I talked to my wife about this for a while after we watched the episode. We figured that ice cream just isn't something that stands to benefit from a gimmicky sales environment. The only big innovations relating to ice cream have been using it as part of other desserts (banana split, ice cream sundae, ice cream sandwich), plus the idea of mix-ins. But ice cream essentially has been sold the same way for decades and it doesn't seem to be crying out for a 2.0 kind of thing like this, since in the end it's still just ice cream. Maybe it could work in touristy areas or theme parks, but I don't see it as Baskin Robbins for the 21st century - no way.

Cold stone is pretty huge though? I looked at it as a more novel cold stone.

yea this , with less overhead costs . i think its just B&M franchising is such a hassle that it didnt make sense for the sharks to be involved .

Why not have little strings or something attached to the joulies so they can't come out of the mug. I get that'd mean they could only be used for that mug. But then you wouldn't chip a tooth, chock, etc.

nuts, another repeat.

Next week is a new episode!

I am not a coffee drinker, but aren't there lots of people that have a few Starbucks (or similar) every day. I could see the benefit of being able to drop in a few joulies to keep it the proper temperature.

not sure how many, esp. outside canada, will have seen this... pretty funny. alot of disdain for oleary. check out mark mcqueen's blog

loved Cubans expression when the Cuddle Tunes guy said 9.5% conversion rate. He even ripped out his piece of paper with notes.

ya cubans non verbals were awesome that episode.

i think the bib thing didn't get enough love, presentation was bad but product was good, chick prob coulda got a deal if she didn't bring her husband along.

Robert's matching of Daymond's offer without the Walgreen's contingency was pretty stupid on the surface, though maybe it was just a test. If he accepts Robert's offer, admitting the Walgreen's thing is a lie/exaggerated, Robert renegs 100%. Good for him for taking Daymond's offer though.

Though the exact same thing, pretty savvy on Robert's part.

Yea savvy way to either not do a deal or not do a deal

I'm not sure about that. Is he just doing it to help out Daymond? I don't understand the motivation.

you are overemphasizing the 100%, nothing in life is 100% if not signed and notarized. Nothing savvy there, only to impress folks....

Err well maybe I'm misunderstanding you guys but Robert finds out if the guy is for real while still leaving himself an out. If the rabbi snap accepts Robert's offer then Robert knows the status of the Walgreens deal and he can get ready to renege on the deal during due diligence. If rabbi deliberates and tries to counter Damon for the same offer or rabbi counters Robert by guaranteeing the Walgreens deal for a better valuation then Robert also gets more info.

Maybe I'm just reading into it too much but when my wife and I watched it and she asked why Robert would do that, this approach is what came to mind.

giving robert too much credit here IMO. it's stupid to "test" any of these guys anyway, unless you just want to learn how they think or something. after the show there is a period of due diligence where any lies or miscommunications will come out.

if robert really wanted the deal, the right play is to come in with a ~15% better offer than damon. with his offer there is literally zero chance he gets a deal done.

robert brings very little to the show other than he is decent at summarizing the things going on so the audience can stay up to speed with what's going on. i cannot think of one edge that he has on another shark, and the worst part is he's way too risk averse.

that would have been a smart play.
