‘Shark Tank’ preview: SingTrix, Titin, Myself Belts, BeardBrand, and a Grace & Lace update
Ready to dive into the “Shark Tank” again? Even though we may be coming up on Halloween, that is not stopping ABC from airing a new episode, even if none of the products featured seem to have a huge connection to the holiday.
With that being said, the sharks in this episode are going to be Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John, and Lori Greiner. Before anything else, take a look at the attached synopsis for specifics:
“A man from Cumming, Georgia promotes unique exercise clothing that provides hyper-gravity weight training; a Spokane, Washington entrepreneur has a product to appeal to today’s ‘urban beardsman’ with beard oils, mustache waxes and a community for facial hair aficionados; two New Yorkers have a karaoke machine that adds jaw-dropping vocal harmonies to help users sound like their favorite stars; belts that are easy for kids to use from a St. Louis, Missouri woman; and a follow up story on Barbara Corcoran’s deal from last season, Grace & Lace, hand-knitted socks and legwarmers.”
Now, let’s give you our first impression on some of the products.
BeardBrand – Call us crazy, but we actually like this a whole lot! While we have a very hard time growing a beard personally (mostly because we can’t stand the itch), there is a movement out there for intentional bears right now. The only tricky part of this is whether or not there are enough customers, or if a good percentage of the bearded men do it out of laziness.
Myself Belts – This is one of those products that we suppose a market exists for, but we have no clue what said market really is. We don’t remember ever having a problem with getting a belt on as a child; we see the value of these mostly as colorful accessories to make your kid stand out.
SingTrix – We cannot decide if this innovation, which almost acts like auto-tune on steroids to make any karaoke into a pleasurable listening experience, is really awesome, or a total way to cheat if you are a bad singer. We wouldn’t pay the $350 that is the current asking price, but we’d be interest for around $100. It seems like a great thing to have on-site for a party.
Titin – We’re not the target audience for this at all, given that we are the furthest thing from a gym rat. We cannot tell you whether or not this weighted fitness equipment works to give you a better workout or not. The only thing that makes us wonder here is that this business has been around for a few years, so we’re curious what their story is going to be on the show.
