‘Shark Tank’ review: The Spatty, Spatty Daddy, Wired Waffles, and Marz Sprays
There were some interesting products that were pitched during Friday night’s new episode of “Shark Tank,” whether it be “pillowcase dresses,” energy food, and even vitamin sprays that send Mark Cuban into a fit of rage.
Cozy Bug – This is a product we are kind of torn on. We like the idea of dresses that young girls can wear for several years, as it is economical and a nice way to still have them wear something fashionable. The downside here? We’re not sure that kids want to wear the same thing for years at a time without getting something new. Daymond John was the big winner here, and it came after a big battle with Lori Greiner.
Wired Waffles – This was really just crazy: an energy drink in waffle form. If you chose to ate this, you would need to buy an energy drink in order to wash it down. It’s just a solution to a problem that doesn’t even exist, and this is something that no one was willing to take a bite of it. Is the idea of putting natural caffeine in food exciting? Definitely, but it’s not nearly as interesting if the food doesn’t taste well or is just not something you would want, and this is what we feel is the case here.
The Spatty / Spatty Daddy – Rarely do we think that the sharks get something wrong, but they did here. This product may have been in the early stages, but it’s brilliant. Who wouldn’t want to save money by purchasing a product that would help you get the remnants of certain substances out of plastic containers? This was sold as something to help people with makeup, but we would actually see using this to get the last bit of mustard out of a bottle. It’s a smart, smart idea, and we are sad that no one wanted to dive into this idea due to it not being far enough along.
Marz Sprays – We’ll start by saying that we would have no interest in buying a spray that gives you vitamins and other health benefits. However, we are not really the sort of market that they are going for here. Mark Cuban called them a “scam” (as we saw in our preview), and this eventually came down to Lori and Kevin O’Leary fighting for a piece of the pie. There was some intense back-and-forth here, but the father/son team behind the product ended up choosing Lori with an interesting buyback option to go along in a second.
What did you think about this episode, and would you buy any of these products?

I will be ordering the “Spatty” duo. Both have so many uses. Like others, I think the sharks missed on this one.

The Spatty lady made a GREAT point–market those little spatulas w/Mary Kay products, Avon stuff, etc… The Sharks made a big mistake! Very surprised Lori didn’t put the Spatty on QVC.

The shark’s were smart to pass on tiny spatula. There’s lots of different size spatulas already on the market. Any company could just shrink there existing product and market it as a “remnant extractor”. Is the size of a spatula patentable??? I don’t think so….

I really enjoy the Shark Tank, B4 reading this when I was N the shower I was thinking about that neat thing the woman came up with The Spatty & Spatty Daddy, I could C myself buying this, 2 get the last bit of liquid soap out of a pump bottle, I also liked the Vitamin spray I can C myself using this as I have a very hard time swallowing pills myself even the tiniest pills.

Spatty Daddy is a good idea, but a copy of the MakeUpmiser

The Spatty and Spatty Daddy were both extremely generic, you could re-purpose many things already to get the same job done. The idea is crafty but certainly not unique. Would be better to but in Housekeeping 101.

I have an enhanced, therefore, better idea for Spatty and Spatty Daddy, so I will write the inventor and see if she is willing to change her idea by just a smidgeon. It will definitely sell to a larger crowd and at greater capacity. I hope she “buys” my idea. I love improving upon a product and a dream in the making.

I have had wired waffles and no I am not and investor and in no way would benefit from saying this. But they are awesome. You know how television is they it takes alot longer to film then what we see so who knows how long those things were sitting out before they ate them. And if you think that I am lying go buy some and try them before believing what people on a t.v. show out for rating say.

The Spatty and Spatty Daddy is brilliant. About 25 years ago, my grandmother bought a similar special spatula for catsup, mustard, mayo, etc. in the kitchen. I used it forever until the rubber dried out.
Anyone with $50,000 should be investing in the lovely, ambitious spokes person. Her personality alone can sell millions. “I’m in.”
