[0:00]I ordered food products from Shark Tank, a TV show where entrepreneurs pitch their inventions to millionaire investors known as The Sharks.
[0:07]The other day I was watching the show and I saw a really cool ice cream gadget, so I did some digging and turns out there is a ton of really cool food products on Shark Tank.
[0:14]So obviously, I bought them all to test them.
[0:17]Starting with the ice cream canteen, the perfect storage device to travel with your ice cream.
[0:22]Now, they had a pretty fiery Shark Tank pitch that landed them a $100,000 deal for 20% of the company from Mark and Lori.
[0:28]And according to the Shark Tank pitch, it can withstand some pretty crazy temperatures and trust me, we're going to put that to the test.
[0:34]Oh, I almost forgot. I'm going to be testing all of these products to see if they're worth the investment or just total shark bait.
[0:40]So I guess we just put it right in the canteen, and if you look at that, it actually fits really well, which is nice in case you want to like scoop out ice cream straight from the can.
[0:46]But yeah, let's see if this thing can actually withstand some serious heat.
[0:53]Yeah, I don't know about this one.
[1:02]Oh, oh my God. Definitely a lot different than the Shark Tank pitch.
[1:06]But let's see if the ice cream actually survived this thing.
[1:09]This thing is so hot, I think I might have welded it closed. Well, I guess I got it completely solid.
[1:18]Honestly, I didn't expect it to actually survive. It kind of got a little damage to the canteen, but it is still completely cold on the inside, so none of the heat got through.
[1:25]But I really want to push this thing to its limits, so for the rest of the video, I'm actually going to keep this in a 200° oven with the ice cream inside to see if it actually withstands the heat.
[1:34]Basically a nice summer's day in hell.
[1:38]For product number two, Snactiv. Now, what is a Snactiv, you might be asking?
[1:42]Well, apparently this little tool allows you to snack without getting your fingers dirty.
[1:46]They basically look like a little set of chopsticks.
[1:49]They just go right here between your fingers and you have, I guess, Wolverine claw snacking device.
[1:56]Now, this product actually got a deal from Kevin Hart and Lori, $200,000 for 20% of the company.
[2:02]Now, what's so great about these is, you know, if you want to enjoy a nice snack while you're, let's say, playing a video game, you can just use the controller and grab it at the same time.
[2:11]I mean, come on, that's freaking awesome. This product seems very useful, especially if you're a gamer or someone that does a lot of editing and stuff on their computer.
[2:17]I mean, the only downside is it's $15 for basically just some plastic, but overall, I got to say this one is worth the investment.
[2:23]Now, some of the products coming up are even more unique, and let's just say the last thing I try is the coolest thing I've ever eaten.
[2:29]But next up on the list, the Pizza Pack, which claims to make storing your pizza way easier.
[2:34]Apparently, this one little pack can store a single slice or an entire pizza.
[2:37]Speaking of which, we got our Papa John's pizza here.
[2:40]Let's see if this thing can actually fit the entire pizza in it.
[2:47]Interesting. They also got these pizza dividers that apparently makes it crispier when you microwave it.
[2:51]Slice number one, and then you just put this thing on top of it, I guess.
[2:55]Now, this Shark Tank product actually got a deal with Lori for $100,000 for a 13% stake.
[3:01]Already it is looking like this entire pizza is not going to fit in here.
[3:05]So far we have one, two, three, four, five slices, and unfortunately, it looks like I'm not able to fit an entire pizza in this thing.
[3:14]You know, I do like this product. I think it's well-made, and I could honestly see myself using it.
[3:18]Despite its kind of false advertising, I'd say this one's worth the investment.
[3:21]And for the next product, Copper Cow.
[3:24]Now, I'm actually extremely excited for these. They seem really cool.
[3:27]It's a premium Vietnamese coffee that on the show got a $600,000 offer from Robert, but after they filmed, they actually called off the deal, which was probably a big mistake because the company is like ten times more valuable now.
[3:38]So it basically comes with these coffee pouches that hook onto the side of your mug, and then you open the top, and then you just pour water into this middle part.
[3:46]This is probably one of the most interesting inventions I've ever seen.
[3:49]Just pour water into this middle part.
[3:55]And it is just instantly brewing. This one's actually churro flavor, and it legit smells like churros.
[4:01]And they even come with these latte creamer pouches, which, according to the package, is sweetened condensed milk.
[4:06]Apparently, that's how they drink coffee in Vietnam. Put some of this condensed milk in the coffee.
[4:10]And look at that, you have an instant coffee. But let's see how it compares to regular instant coffee. First, we'll start with the regular instant coffee.
[4:19]Horrible. Let's see if the Vietnamese coffee is better.
[4:24]Oh yeah, that's just leagues above. The churro taste is actually really good, and I see why they do the sweetened condensed milk, it goes really well with the coffee.
[4:30]And I will say, probably the best instant coffee I've ever had.
[4:33]Hands down worth the investment. But now let's take a trip to my kitchen. Welcome to Dan Cooked It, finally Cooks It, where we're going to be going to our next product, the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan, which is apparently supposed to give you a nice crispy brownie edge on every piece.
[4:47]Now, this thing cost $55, which is pretty crazy for a brownie dish.
[4:52]They also unfortunately left the show with no deals. But let's see if that's for a good reason. I think it's made of aluminum, and let's make some brownies.
[4:59]Oh yeah. That is looking good. I probably should have greased it. Oh well.
[5:04]Now, we're going to put this in a preheated 325° oven.
[5:10]And about 20 minutes later. All right, looks like brownies are done. As you can see, it did its job and it looks like it's all edge brownie pieces.
[5:17]So if you do like the crispy edges of a brownie, this is definitely the product for you.
[5:21]I'm starting to really like these Shark Tank inventions. The only thing that's kind of bad about this product is the price at $55.
[5:27]I don't think anyone's going to spend that on a brownie dish. I'm tossing this one to the sharks. And for the next kitchen gadget, Frywall, which is basically a splash guard to keep your stove clean while you're cooking.
[5:36]I definitely need this one. It also got an investment from Lori for $100,000 for 10% of the company.
[5:43]So we got some bacon over here, which is known for splashing grease everywhere.
[5:46]So let's see how well this thing works.
[5:49]All right, we got our bacon cooking. Whoa, it's popping, but so far the fry guard is actually stopping it from hitting me.
[5:54]If you can see, there's like droplets of grease all around the side of the frywall.
[5:59]So the frywall does work, but it is kind of a hassle to have to set that up every single time you want to cook.
[6:03]I'd rather just wipe the stove. Throw it to the sharks. But now we're going to cook The Pizza Cupcake. As you can see, it has the "As Seen on Shark Tank" logo on it.
[6:11]I guess they're kind of similar to pizza bagels if you ever had that, but according to the Shark Tank pitch, they have some of the most delicious pizza bagels.
[6:16]Now, literally every single one of the sharks were obsessed with how good it tasted.
[6:20]But Lori swept in and closed the deal with them for $125,000.
[6:24]It seems like Lori really likes food products. One box comes with six pizza cupcakes.
[6:29]And after a few minutes in a preheated oven, these things smell incredible. They basically got my entire kitchen smelling amazing.
[6:34]That looks really good. Let's give it a taste.
[6:40]It is just cheesy, saucy, doughy goodness.
[6:43]They were definitely not lying, the dough was super flaky, buttery.
[6:46]It just tastes really good, and honestly, way better than any other like pizza frozen product that I've had.
[6:50]I definitely see why the sharks liked it. I am definitely buying these from now on, so totally worth the investment.
[6:55]But how about Grinds? Apparently, these are coffee pouches that give you a constant supply of caffeine.
[7:00]Now, I actually love coffee, so this is kind of perfect for me.
[7:03]They're literally just little coffee pouches. And apparently, you put it in your mouth and it's supposed to keep you caffeinated for like 45 minutes.
[7:09]They definitely look pretty interesting, and kind of just smells like burnt coffee.
[7:12]Now, they ended up getting $75,000 for 15% of their company from Daymond and Robert.
[7:17]I have a feeling these things will make your breath terrible, but let's give it a go.
[7:24]Definitely does not have a good coffee taste.
[7:27]It kind of just tastes like super cheap coffee that is just marketed really well, and for $7 for this thing, I would definitely not buy this.
[7:33]Yeah, I'd feed this one to the sharks.
[7:36]Souper Cubes. What are they? Well, apparently, you fill up these silicone molds with anything you want, soup, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, pretty much anything that you can freeze.
[7:44]And it's basically supposed to keep perfectly portioned sizes. All of the sharks really loved this product and were extremely impressed, but once again, Lori swooped in and gave them her golden ticket, meaning it's the best product she's seen this season.
[7:56]And ended up giving them $400,000 for 5% of the company.
[8:00]That is hands down the best deal yet. So last night, I actually had some leftovers that I put into the Souper Cubes, and right off the bat, it definitely looks like it froze really well.
[8:08]Kind of curious if it's actually going to pop out nicely.
[8:11]Start with some mac and cheese.
[8:14]Wow. That is honestly so cool. Mashed potatoes.
[8:19]Tomato soup.
[8:22]I mean, come on, normally when you have a glass or plastic bowl that you freeze food in, it is just so annoying to take it out.
[8:27]But with these ones, they actually makes it super easy, you just kind of pop it out of the mold.
[8:30]Would I actually use this in my real life? Probably. I think it's actually really useful. I'm going to say these are worth the investment. But I'm really excited for this next one. Mail-order cupcakes, also known as Wicked Good Cupcakes.
[8:41]Now, this was actually a massive Shark Tank investment. Now, basically, they just ship you jars of cupcakes to your house.
[8:48]I got carrot cake flavor and red velvet cake. Now, this was actually a deal by Mr. Wonderful himself.
[8:53]He gave them $75,000, and in return, he gets 45 cents for every single cupcake that they sell.
[8:59]Honestly, that sounds less like a deal and more like a steal for Mr. Wonderful.
[9:03]Thanks. First, we got the red velvet cake.
[9:08]Yeah, that's a good cupcake. Now, we got to try the carrot cake, which if you didn't know, carrot cake is actually my favorite type of cake.
[9:15]All right, that's it. These are immediately worth the investment. Next product, Fishwife, which is apparently canned fish, but tastes a lot better.
[9:23]Now, these ones actually got a massive deal for $350,000 for only 6%.
[9:28]Kind of surprising considering it's only canned fish, but to see if it's really good, I got some classic canned sardines that I'm going to be comparing to some of their flavors.
[9:39]Yep, that is canned sardines, all right.
[9:42]Super fishy, definitely not the best quality, and extremely messy.
[9:45]I'm literally getting oil everywhere. Let's try this one. Looks like it's in pretty much the same exact packaging.
[9:51]Looks very similar.
[9:54]Smoked salmon.
[9:58]That's actually pretty good. I mean, it's smoked salmon. I'm still pretty shocked that they invested $350,000 into this.
[10:04]I think that's enough fish for me today, but Fishwife, you had great packaging, but I'm going to pass on this one.
[10:09]And before we check on the ice cream canteen that has literally been in the oven this entire time, we got one of the coolest products that I've ever seen in my entire life.
[10:19]Miracle Berries. Now, these are pretty much magical berries that when you eat them, they make sour food sweet, and pretty much completely change your taste.
[10:27]Now, this could be extremely useful if you want to get medicine down or maybe get used to a new food that you don't like so much.
[10:32]But I'm definitely really excited to try these. I've heard some pretty crazy things. Now, if you look inside, it's just berries that were cut in half and dried.
[10:39]Now, the actual name of these things are Ladidi berries, and they come from West Africa.
[10:42]They also got a deal for $80,000 for Mark Cuban and Lori in exchange for 20% of the company.
[10:47]Here goes nothing.
[10:53]That tastes exactly like. Now that I ate those, we have a variety of sour and bitter things that I'm going to be tasting.
[10:58]Starting with a lemon.
[11:07]That tastes exactly like an orange.
[11:13]I'm like blown away right now. You could still tell it's a lemon, but there is no sourness.
[11:17]All right, next up, we got unsweetened cranberry juice, which if you don't know, is extremely sour.
[11:25]Oh my God. It tastes so unbelievably sweet. That is insane. I'm just so blown away right now. I'm super curious what it's going to make pickles taste like.
[11:34]This makes no sense. I wish you could experience this right now. It still has the saltiness and the taste of a pickle, but there's no sourness.
[11:41]It's like a sweet pickle, which I probably prefer it the other way, but this is just insane.
[11:44]Just because of how cool these things are, I see why they got a deal, and I'm definitely going to say these are worth the investment.
[11:50]And now we got the ice cream canteen. This thing has been in the oven for the past few hours, so if this ice cream is still frozen, I'm going to be shocked.
[12:01]It looks like only the top layer melted. And look at that, the rest is still completely frozen.
[12:06]Now the top layer was melted, but if you look at it, it is still frozen at the bottom.
[12:09]That is just insane. I mean, it was in the oven for three hours, so this thing can definitely keep your ice cream cold in your car, at the beach, or on a hot summer's day.
[12:16]I mean, that is seriously impressive. I think just because of that, I have to say it's worth it. Yeah, this product was great and so were a lot of these Shark Tank products. I had a lot of fun making this, and if you enjoyed, like and subscribe and watch this next video here.
