Agreed. That video would definitely scare people away from buying those lollipops. Who wants to see a tub of corn syrup sitting in a hot garage? Didn't he move his stale coffee from the garage after showing it in the vlog and people reacting?

Also, I know it's not a commercial kitchen but she's handling those lollipops without gloves and Trooper is running around the kitchen shouting over the pot of melted lollipop mixture. That guy's teeth and overall hygiene (have you seen his hands in the videos?) is disgusting so him shouting and saliva flying into the lollipop mixture is just nasty!

Also, they just lay there on the kitchen table hardening without cover but they are sticky lollipops. All the dust in the house is just settling on them for however long they are there. Trooper has shown clothes (clean or dirty) laying unfolded in piles all over his room so I don't expect the cleanliness to be different in the kitchen versus his room.

I don't think anyone is getting sick from these lollipops but it's just nasty seeing that's where they are made. Has anyone seen Dirty Dining about Vegas restaurants? I would be curious to see the health grade rating of the lollipop kitchen.

New Lady Trooper vlog:

She says in it she's twisted already 3,000 lollipops this week. Business is booming more than I suspected, I know they sell but that's a hell of a lot.

Someone else commented they wondered if she quit her job, it sure sounds like it. The lollipop business has taken over her life. But if those numbers are true sounds fairly lucrative. A lot of work, but considering she probably wasn't making a ton at whatever job she had (sounded like a retail job couldn't have been much more than min wage), making lollipops from home sounds like a better alternative.

People coming into town to celebrate their anniversary? Trooper and Lady Trooper's dating anniversary people are celebrating? Did they actually get married a few years back?

I got my order (4 dozen)in the mail of Friday. I was excited to try the new flavors. All of them are so good. Thanks for the hard work. You are going to need a vacation soon.

$40 worth of Lollipops? lol

$1.25 per lollipop. I just bought a 39 cent lollipop this morning.

Those salted lollipops that Lady Trooper makes actually make my mouth water. I've never seen a lollipop with salt before. One principle that celebrity chefs like to emphasize is "contrast". The contrast between the salt and the sourness/sweetness makes me want to have that sparkli.

On another note, are there candy making outsourcers and subcontractors out there? Looks like the Troopers are getting good volume. I was standing next to some 7-11 executives and managers right at the front of the one across Virgin Casino, and I overheard one of them say to the other that he was happy with the Kit Kat sales in that branch...7 Kit Kats per day. Granted they obviously sell tons of other stuff and those Kit Kats probably are just .0000000000000001% of total daily sales for the store.

Damn she's a grinder. A winner. Imagine if she learns poker and is playing in the high limit room a year later while Tim is still grinding 1-2. Now THAT would make for some great content.

C'mon man! Lady Trooper is selling artisan lollipops, not the kind you get free from the bank.

Two dozen SPRKLi Pops are $29, 4 dozen would be $58. Free shipping on orders over $50. If you buy two dozen or more, they are $1.21/each. If you buy just 6, they are $1.50/each, plus shipping.

Support your local small business woman !

$58 worth of Lollipops! lol

Yea, that is the last time in the last 10+ years I have had a lollipop, when going to my local bank and they had a table with them laying on it and I would grab a few. lol

I went to one of those Sugar stores with my niece, don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure she spent $30 on a 3 pack of those things. Now granted it had some sort of bedazzled stick and a weird case you could put on it if it wasn't finished. But its not like overpaying for crap like this is unheard of.

The question is, what happens when they max out on all their viewers as customers.

Backstory on the sprkliis? Did she just start making candy on a whim or what?

She is #1 in google under "sprkli" lol

bad news tho, that same search turned up this:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Perrier-P...of-12/31019082

If she gets too big, Perrier might be coming for her.

No one has grabbed the trademark in the US and Perrier doesn't use it on their site. Probably just a weird typo on the walmart site.

Trooper, since it's obvious you read this, trademark your ****. That is all.

Check out the 30 second mark of Lady Trooper's Vlog.

It's possible she hasn't quit her job, but I'm inclined to believe she did. She talks about twisting 3000 lollipops this week, could she accomplish this in 2-3 days off from a job?

I don’t think the people buying them are going to care. You’re probably a huge fan trying to support the vlog if you’re buying that stuff. They are probably like the people that used to go up to him and give him money, or beg him to start a Patreon.

We're getting hints from Lady Trooper with regards to the extent of sparkli's success.

She said she twisted 3,000 in one week. That's 12,000 in one month. And they sell them for an average of $1.20.

$14,400 per month in sales. Let's subtract 30% for the sake of conservatism.

That's $10,000 something per month or $120,000 per year in gross sales. We'll never know what the profits are.

Sparkli could actually make it to Shark Tank and actually outdo many of the products and ventures there that just come in with ideas but no sales.

Scaling thru the outsourcing of the production, packing, and shipping should be foremost in the minds of the Troopers. They should seriously study these subjects and set goals to do the minimum amount of labor in these activities so that they can concentrate their daily schedules on the marketing, selling, and branding.

They've got something to work with, for sure. Someone earlier in this thread joked about MLM with their fan base. Could be part of a bigger marketing strategy.

How ironic that after a long journey with many public ups and downs that Trooper ends up as the Jessie Pinkman of lollipops.

Lady Trooper is the cook so she is Walter White, Jesse did some sales and even was in charge of a crew and said Yo a lot just like Trooper.

Trooper needs to get a Skinny Pete and a Badger to sell the pops on the strip.

The problem with shows like "The Profit" and "Shark Tank" is that it probably takes a long time to get on them after you apply.

Lady Trooper is Walter White. Trooper is Jessie Pinkman.

They need to find their Gus Fring. Even if they gave him a big share of the action, their share would still make them rich beyond what they hoped back when they were just getting started.

What if she's a size queen?

Hilarious but no. In fact I get the feeling it's a roommate kind of thing within the youtube world. As I said Tim doesn't come remotely close to earning the money girls like her require. In addition to the fact he has no prospects for the future.

What do you mean no prospects? They are soon going to get a $1M valuation on Shark Tank and Cuban and Mr. Wonderful will be fighting over a deal, but Trooper won't want to pay royalties so they will go with Cuban.

Neither does Jaman I believe. Basically the poker vloggers that also have a real job don't sell merch.

So the mystery has been solved.

In the comments section of today's Lady Trooper Vlog we have the following.

After making over $2000 in 1 week selling Lollipops, I guess so. lol

Her profit margins are terrible, I think ?

I think someone said people buying in bulk pay $1.20 per. If she sold 3000 that would be $3600, some of those will be paying more from buying smaller quantity but she also has to eat some shipping on the bigger orders so call it a wash.

I am guessing in the 65% minimum profit margin range. So that would be $2340, even with another $340 in misc. $2000 profit. Real profit margin could be higher.

Trooper may have fewer subscribers and views than the other vloggers but what platform he has is really very committed and loyal.

So what's the best way for Trooper to utilize his platform?

Is it to have them bankroll him into the WSOP Main Event? No.

Is it to have them literally subscribe to buying his coffees regularly? No.

Is it to try to compete with Neeme and Owen in the MUG business? No.

The single best way that Trooper can utilize his platform is....
