Painted Pretzel

The Painted Pretzel on Shark Tank

Painted Pretzel from Season 3, Episode 302
Aired 2/24/2012 - Rerun 11/30/2012
Season 3, Episode 302
Raven Thomas Owner of the Painted Pretzel Co.
If your looking for that perfect tasty gift for the Holidays, look no further, you still have time to order from the Painted Pretzel Factory. When Raven Thomas came into the Shark Tank it was one of the fastest taping's ever done by any contestant. Thomas was quick to get the Painted Pretzel into the mouths of the Sharks before they ever had a chance to take a bite out of her company. After a small sample of her very delicious treat it was a no brainier that Thomas was going to make a deal.
 
 Whatever it is by combining a pretzel with chocolate that makes them so good I'm not exactly sure. What I am sure is that Raven Thomas has perfected this creation

Shemie Update

The Shemie by Shelton Wilder

Shemie Success StoryIt's been just over a month since we saw Shelton Wilder come strolling in the Shark Tank with her invention the Shemie. When she started her pitch  I was certain she would get a deal with at least one Shark. If for anything else, for her enthusiasm towards her product and the fact that she got Lori Greiner to admit that she too would wear a Shemie. Unfortunately things got a little emotional and maybe off track as the Sharks pressured her into talking about some things she was not prepared to talk about. In the end she was not able to make a deal with the Sharks.

Invention USA

Invention USA vs. Shark Tank

Season Premiere 11-26-2012
 
Season 2
Invention USA premiere's tonight on the History Channel. The show is very similar to Shark Tank in that you have the opportunity to show off your invention on the History Channel in hopes of getting financial backing from investors. Reichart Von Wolfshield & Antony Garrett Lisi, both inventors themselves, are the only two hosts on Invention USA. Unlike the Sharks that are sitting in the cushy Shark Tank, these guy's travel around the country and go where the inventor's live. They first give their personal opinions on how viable the invention is, and then go out and test it in real life situations. If it passes their tests, the inventor is offered cash for a stake in the company or idea.
 
The first Invention USA aired last year with only 6 episodes but they are back

ReadeREST - SpecSecure

ReaderREST on Shark Tank Show 11-30-2012

Reader Rest rerun from Season 3, Episode 302 Update

Reader Rest on Shark Tank Show
The first time the Shark Tank Show seen the ReadeREST Magnetic Eye-Glass Holder that Rick Harper invented was last year on February 24th, 2011. Since that time the ReadeRest-SpecSecure product has gone on to one of the hottest products ever to be featured in all of the Shark Tank Episode's. Hopper entered the Shark Tank stumbling in as if he lost his eye glasses. On the surface this looked like a relatively simple invention that really wasn't a big enough idea to get the Sharks excited to invest any money. All of them except for Lori Greiner who has already sold over $20 million in eye glasses on her show with QVC. It's a simple idea with a large markup

Win The Powerball - Become A Shark

Power Ball Jackpot $425 Million this Wednesday Night

Win Powerball become a Shark Tank Success
With no winner in the Powerball last night, the Jackpot now sits at $425,000.000.00 and is expected to grow closer to a half a billion before this Wednesday's next drawing. Now before you start spending (investing) all those zero's, there is one small little detail that must be taken care of first. Taxes. If you were to choose the lump sum payout, you would also see over $148,000,000.00 in real dollars quickly disappear for not letting them control "your winnings" for the next 30 years. You are then required to pay Federal taxes @ 25% of your gross winnings which takes another  $70,000,000.00. out of your powerball jackpot. Your $425 million has already been cut more then in half, leaving you with a little more then $208,000,000.00 before your State taxes.
 Depending on which state you bought your power ball ticket, your state taxes range from zero in states of New Hampshire, Delaware and Florida, all the way up to an additional 8.82% in Read More Here-->>>

Shark Tank Christmas Special 409

Shark Tank Christmas Special

Tuesday 12-04-2012 - Week 12

Christmas Tree Rental on Shark Tank ShowThe Shark Tank Holiday Special episode marks the half way point for the entire season 4 with 24 total episodes. Yes, this is episode 409 that they skipped a few weeks ago, but it is the number 12 in consecutive weeks for season 4. Confused? Me too, they seem to do this every season with no rhyme or reason why they just can't keep them in order. Either way, It's Christmas time and the Sharks will be ready to make a few dreams come true.

Shark Tank Episode 412

Shark Tank T.V. Show - Episode 12 - 11-23-2012

Up next on this Friday's Shark Tank Show Season 4

 We'll ABC isn't giving up much on this episode which is currently showing a re-run from season 3, episode 312. I'm beginning to think the producer's change the episode's number's and sequence for a reason, but what whatever their reasoning behind it, really doesn't make any sense. Anyways, as it appears right now, they are using this seasons episode 412 and filling it in with episode 12 from last season.

It's kind of interesting that I also received a message on Twitter from one of these contestants this morning. Not exactly sure what to make of it yet, but the timing is leading me to believe there is a little more to this Fridays episode of the Shark Tank then meets the eye.

Tie Try on Shark Tank - Episode 411

Rent a Tie from Tie Try

rent a tie on Shark Tank Show
Here's a novel idea that made it on the Shark Tank Show. You can choose from a selection of ties and exchange them whenever you want for only $11.99 per Month. The Tie Try business model is much like NetFlix which let's you rent a tie and have it shipped to you in the mail.

Is it just me, or is this simular to renting a Wedding Dress? Some guy's just don't like the idea of wearing a used tie. Unless your Kevin O'Leary that spends thousands of dollars for his tie collection, this business model might not be for you.

In Mike Abbaticcho & Shon Lees part of the country some would probably refer to me as a Hill Billy. An Outdoor Life Style I Wouldn't Trade for Anything!
 
When I first seen Mike and Shon on the Shark Tank Show, I immediately thought, Wow, that's a cool name for a company. I most definitely would buy this product because I'm wearing a hat almost identical to this picture even as I write this article. Only difference is, the logo says Colorado with a Bull Elk. But first these Hillbillies needed to raise a little cash if I was ever going to find one at the local Sporting Goods Store.

Robert Herjevic on The Shark Tank

Robert Herjevic's Shark Tank Investments
 
Angel Shark Investor Robert Herjevic is what some would call a genius with ideas ahead of his time. Robert first made his presence known back in 1990 when he started BRAK Systems which was an integrator of Internet Security Software. This was way back before most people even knew what the Internet was. Herjevic quickly realised the need and importance of security software and made a name for his business early in the game. He would eventually sell BRAK Systems to AT&T for a reported $30 million in 2000.  AT&T then gave Herjevic the position of "Vice President of Internet Security".

Robert then went on to become "Vice President of Sales at RAMP Networks" shortly before it was acquired by Nokia. Because his deal was completed before the Nokia deal, Robert was granted stock options (in the new company) which when vested earned him an additional $500k.
