I can't even believe I'm considering the Squatty Potty for my husband... not to get all TMI but he sometimes desperately needs help in this area. Fiber Gummies (not a Shark Tank product as far as I know, yet anyway) have helped but it's not always enough.
I just recently got into this show so I've been trying to watch old episodes and see what happened with the different products. Just for fun thought I'd share some comments on some of the older ones:
- Nubrella - the wearable umbrella - I loved the idea, but seems it didn't really do too well, and based on reviews maybe also didn't work too well. I hate umbrellas enough that I'll usually either just get soaked or wear a raincoat instead, so I had high hopes for this one. As a funny aside, on Amazon this also led me to a pet umbrella that hooks to the leash and looks suspiciously like the dreaded doggie "cone of shame."
- Rapid Ramen Cooker - I saw this on the clearance shelf at the grocery store for $.99 the other day and considered it for about 30 seconds. They also had a slightly different product that fit those Cup-O-Noodle things too for the same clearance price, and looked like maybe a second product from the same inventor. I thought it was a good idea. If anyone bothers to read the instructions those noodle cups aren't technically supposed to go in the microwave, even though people do it all the time, so they could go after the safety aspect.
- Rent A Goat - not a new concept, at all. My Aunt tried it around 30 years ago, but then switched to either owning or renting geese instead - she said they 'mowed' more evenly. It didn't get funded, but was still fun to read about.
- Plate Topper seems like a good idea. I might try that, especially if it's stackable. Stacking stuff wrapped in plastic or foil usually doesn't work out too well.
- PostureNOW - seriously? If I wanted to use tie down straps to fix my posture and pin my arms to my sides, I'd have done it by now. Surprised they even funded this one.
- Earth Log - didn't even know til now this was a Shark Tank item. I tried one exactly once. I had to throw so much newspaper in there to get the thing to even light, it pretty much defeated the purpose.
- Swim Zip - I bet they have an untapped market they don't even know about, people with sun sensitivity related diseases (i.e. Dermatomyositis). It's a relatively small but probably lucrative market, and seems like a good product.
- Q-Flex looks great but almost identical to the TheraCane (non-ST product), and the TheraCane also seems like it's more versatile.
I'll leave it there for now... fun sharing here and seeing ideas about what's been made, thought of, tried, etc.
