I was just at a wedding in May and the service included some edible spoons. I wonder if they were this product, but they looked just like those on here. Tasted amazing though
@@saicharan6013 same here in Austria, Europe. I remember using stuff like this years back. But somehow the industry shifted again to now wooden spoons and co. which is also a great thing
oh wow good point. never thought of that. I think we are all just used to the cones so we don't consciously recognize it as an edible container. I don't think Dinesh recognized it either lol
I mean 15x more i maybe wouldnt be buying them regulary not that i use plastic often but 10x more id prob buy it consider u save urself time with dishes and all that. Imagine if he came out with plates and glasses/mugs aswell youd have no dishes or atleast disposable ones thats nature friendly

She is even interrupting others with something stupid (just after he finished saying his motivation and stuff) when they ask a business-related question 5:03. She is just there enjoying her time enjoying the products, not being a shark. It would be ignorant and somewhat feminist to brag about her compassionate edge on such a platform

Mark is always respectful to authentic entrepreneurs, he never belittles them and often provide on point advised to help make their business better, whether or not he’s investing
We need this right now. Yes it may be more expensive than a plastic spoon, but it's about on par cost wise with a biscuit of that size, so not the hardest sell if marketed right. I'd happily pay more for this.
Cost of a biscuit of that size definitely does not cost 10c/piece.. still priced on the high end and its likely this product will only be sold to small businesses
I’d totally pay extra for this at a food outlet to help save the planet. As for at the supermarket it’d have to be bloody delicious for me to buy this instead of using my exisiting cutlery though. What a positive, passionate and humble guy. You can see how grateful and proud he is to be making a difference in the world. Wishing you so much success from australia ❤
I'm surprised they didn't mentioned mutliple BIG chains already switched to paper straws and literally everyone HATES paper straws. A tasteless edible straw could be much better.
This guy deserves the praise and honor. Saving the planet and thinking for the next generation is what we need right now. Everyone got blinded by what is it right now without thinking the future. Edible utensils are more expensive than the usual plastic, correct if you think the now. Think of it like your paying more for the sake of your future than to pay less then let your kids suffer on their future. You know what investment right sharks?
Exactly. One must think of both the explicit costs and implied costs, and not just the monetary costs, but also the cost of our oceans, land, air, soil, and planet-- which are priceless. You are not really paying more for this edible cutlery when you think about the damage horrible plastic does in both producing plastic and disposing of it, yuck.
and it may be pricey today but in the future it may cheaper to produce vs plastic. the world is pushing for a more green utilisation, supermarkets are slowly shifting away from plastic grocery bags to fabric/cotton grocery bags. adding 11c combined with an edible product like a small tub of ice cream or frozen yogurt for example is nothing and will only push their product even further combing this edible utensil. Kevin along with the other sharks not appreciating its real value in all honesty was extremely short sighted, though I do agree with Mark in terms of coming in with not much wiggle room for the investors but this is a product the world knows what it needs but doesn't know it yet.
I absolutely agree. Plastic cutlery is literally the worst. Every time I get one through food deliveries I try to reuse it because each time i throw it in the dustbin it feels wrong.
@@NemesisMKIII it’s pretty common though, it has existed in market from ages. I think it originated from Asia, I show a documentary about this product several years ago
I absolutely love this guy. He seems so humble, sweet and just so excited to share his product to the world. It’s such an amazing thing he’s made! I wish him nothing but the best.
@@RealNiggaElijah just because long division is the right way to do it and some people don’t know how to to math doesn’t mean it’s whoever invented it isn’t right
@@loudcity0 the only way this solves a global pollution problem is if governments make plastic cutlery illegal and even then most mainstream stores will use wood cutlery over this as it is cheaper.
i would TOTALLY go to a restaurant just to try these spoons. i think a lot of high end, trendy restaurants/quick eat places would love to use this as one of their selling points
Mark is smart and he is a great guy..He came up with an offer since other sharks didn't give a good offer or were not interested. He chiiping in made others think and come up with offers ..Mark, you are a hero
The spark in his eyes, enthusiasm and the aura around him will take him places. His purpose is just not only to make money out of it but to give back something to this planet.
The absolute excitement on this entrepreneurs face is so inspiring. He’s making me excited about his product. I would pay extra for environmentally friendly products that saves on plastic.
I'm so impressed with this product! I literally just purchased 2 boxes of spoons for me and my kids immediately after watching. Cant wait to try them out!
What a well spoken guy. I’m a Mexican immigrant here and I need to learn from this guy. Working towards my CS Degree but I’m slacking. He has passion, drive, and hunger for his product to succeed.
This model can go from just spoons and forks to plates and bowls really quickly. You can easily market this to people going camping or going away from there home for awhile and actually even your everyday person might just buy it too to save time rather than cleaning up all the time. I hope this takes off.
Right? I was thinking I would totally buy it if available in nearby stores at least once! He can get more people to try and buy these than just businesses!
I love how much he wants to help and change the environment! I hope restaurant chains consider this innovative product as opposed to traditional plastic cutlery! Great job!
Mark backed out because he knew lori offered a better deal and he we all know he doesn't like to be rejected. so he had to be the first one to back out of the deal before dinesh rejects the offer.
The best thing about Lori that always gives me good feelings, is that she have designed a system that even the hard products that need educating customer is not a question to her because (in my mind) she has a balance between taking care of the business and monatery part, and the things that are needed in this world.
Lori has a knack of identifying "blockbuster products". Brilliant idea. Also he appears to be someone who is humble, ambitious and genuinely cares (for the future). Best wishes brother! Hope this takes off :)
@@doyouunderstandthis When Dinesh pitched Incredible Eats to the sharks, he valued the company at $7 million. However, Lori ended up investing $500k at a $6 million valuation. Due to dwindling sales, the net worth of Incredible Eats has seen a downtrend since then and today stands at just $2 million.
At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage. Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial counselor who works with a verified Finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
Yeah, that guy is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience
I've been making more than six figures passively investing with John Desmond Heppolette, who showed me the right community to join and grow mv finances and I don't have to do much work. It doesn't matter if the market is crashing, I will always make returns.
This information is valuable. I quickly searched his name and his website appeared instantly, showcasing his impressive qualifications. Thank you for sharing.
His passion and idea is incredible. People will pay more if they know they are doing their part to help the world in some capacity. Vegans, vegetarians, organic food places, ice-cream shops etc will all want this instantly.
can i ask do you know how the equity works does that mean that they get that percentage of profits or revenue or is it something else like stock dividends
I don’t get Barbara’s logic. Are restaurants really going to complain about changing their prices from $5.00 to $5.15 when they get to serve a unique and memorable spoon to their customers, leaving them wanting to come back for more?
So true! And some restaurants are already starting to charge for plastic utensils on takeaway. Make it a “either way it’s 20 cents for utensils” and the buyer can choose plastic or this product. No brainer!
No because they will charge you 6 total and gain almost a buck over 15 cents they paid for a spoon. And people will take it to "save the planet" or even just the experience.
Everyone has become a caricature of themselves on this show. Barbara likes something but for that reason she’s out. Mark’s offers last less than the time it says “what about…” Mr Wonderful doesn’t care about the products, he just invests on value. Lori is nice.
In the end, after he walks out, he shares his story about going from holding up a sign in the Freeways asking for a job to fast forward 10 years, building such an amazing and purposeful product/business, while working another full-time job, as an immigrant in the States. God bless him, makes me so proud as a fellow Indian/Human. Thank you for inspiring me.
@@just4interest996 Yeah, I think your right. I would have honestly offered $250000 for 20% but when she saw others were sniffing, she hopped in with that offer which was a bit higher than what he wanted
I have watched shark tank intermittently since season 1. One thing I can clearly see, the sharks as investors have matured a lot as seasoned investors who clearly know what they wanted and understand the mentality and work personality of the entrepreneur.
I had one of these spoons in Germany at a vegan ice cream shop, they’re very good and makes you feel better not wasting plastic. Nuts that the sharks were so hard on him, but this is literally the future of restaurant eating.
Edible cutlery is very much available in Malaysia and has been there for quite some time. The cafeteria chain "Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" in Malaysia offers edible straws and other cutlery along with their food, and I guess their top competitor offers the same as well.
We were in Sydney, Australia recently and noticed that the ice cream shops were using edible spoons. I thought it was part of their brand. I didn’t realize there was a bigger environmental impact to the edible spoons! Very cool product!
@@filipkazacu9260 Sounds like they changed the structure of the deal to include more equity, or less money. But since it fell through, then that means that deal wasn’t completed.
Absolutely agree! The IP is clearly there...that's the biggest hurdle. Now all he needs is efficient high speed manufacturing, solid raw materials procurement strategy, improved packaging and marketing...Lori is the right person to take him over the top. He's clearly talented, passionate and driven.
Honestly, this is incredible! One of the biggest barriers I face when trying to convince people to ditch plastic is the convenience factor; reusable cutlery needs to be cleaned after use and carried with you. A lot of my friends don't find it worth the trouble. Having an option that's not only biodegradable, but edible!? Genius!!
As someone who uses plantable seed pens, cardboard toothbrush, combs, earbuds, bags and minimum products made of plastic, I would definitely buy this and would love to see more and more restaurants use eco friendly cutlery. Something like this should be globalized. Great initiative. 👍🌲🌎
Dinesh is a very clever Entrepreneur.. He talked with them, very adorable manner and his body language also very genuine when he express his product with them.. That's why she recognize and invested that it.. 😊 god bless you dinesh
One of the most innovative products ever brought to the show! This guy invented something generational changing and is too far ahead. Sharks are wrong on this one and such a shame the creator did not mention how states are already regulating degradable straws and banning plastics due to sea turtles it’s only a matter of time this type of invention takes the replacement such a great product line
He didn't invent anything. There has been similar brands years ahead of him. And Lori didn't want to make this deal after the show, most likely because this has existed.
@@wviasalyers yes, true story. Try to understand that this is a reality tv show. They start real negotiations after the show and then you learn more about companies like Lori did.
@@Sai_2346 Did you seriously believe the deals they close on camera in a reality tv show are official? Actual deals take more time and are boring and complicated. It doesn't make good entertainment
I was talking about this idea with my friends in the past: why waste plastic or paper on straws when you can make them edible and tasty like sweets, you can even enhance the flavors of certain food if they are too blend. Now I'm glad that someone took it to reality. Really excited to see how this evolves 😆
The focus on environment friendly products in 2022 is bigger than ever. This is the perfect solution to a problem that most fortune-500 companies would dream of.
can i ask do you know how the equity works does that mean that they get that percentage of profits or revenue or is it something else like stock dividends
People at an ice cream store literally pay 5 dollars to upgrade a wax cup to a chocolate dipped waffle bowl that cost like 20 cents to make vs the 5 cent wax cup. If you think charging something like 50 cents to a dollar to get an eco friendly edible waffle spoon that only cost 10 cents to make is hard then idk what to tell you.
Agree. Thing is I knew no one was going to go lower, w/ that being the case the guy definitely should have picked Mark at 20%! I read a few years back that w/ the "deals" we see made on TV, Mark's actually go through about 75% of the time whereas all the other regular/main sharks are closer to 30%!
I like this guy, I know its a business but he seemed incredibly happy to be able to find a potential replacement for plastic waste, whereas Kevin just only cares about the money as usual.
Him talking about his life with the music... had me a lil emotional, he's passionate. And Americans spend extra money in restaurants willingly just because. Most people wouldn't bat an eye to pay 80 cent for two edible Spoons and Forks.
This is quite literally one of the most revolutionary products ever featured on Shark Tank.

His idea for ice cream shops to upsell the edible spoons is great. They’ve been upselling edible bowls for years and it works great.
Exactly cones are nothing but edible cups. We could add spoon too
You're right. I didn't think about that until you said that. My local ice cream shop has waffle bowls besides the cones. It's the same idea.
oh wow good point. never thought of that. I think we are all just used to the cones so we don't consciously recognize it as an edible container. I don't think Dinesh recognized it either lol
If the spoon tastes like waffle cone or chocolate grahams, I wouldn't mind paying a quarter or two more to get one when eating ice cream

and so were paper bags once introduced in my country. his idea is absolutely brilliant
Mass production will make it cheaper for everyone
@@4pie221 if they can bring down the price more, they can market it as eco friendly product. Ppl are OK to pay more if it is reasonable
same
I’d totally pay extra for this at a food outlet to help save the planet. As for at the supermarket it’d have to be bloody delicious for me to buy this instead of using my exisiting cutlery though. What a positive, passionate and humble guy. You can see how grateful and proud he is to be making a difference in the world. Wishing you so much success from australia ❤
I'm surprised they didn't mentioned mutliple BIG chains already switched to paper straws and literally everyone HATES paper straws. A tasteless edible straw could be much better.
Bro I hate paper straws! Went to the movies bought icee all they had was paper straws I had to grab 4 of them, it sucks 😔
No one likes wet paper taste and feel. Edible on the other hand with flavors to compliment the food could be a good alternative
Paper straws pollute more since you need twice the size of container space to move them around. 🤡
@@1b0o0 paper degrades rather quickly tho
Yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking. Places are banning plastic and the alternatives taste and/or feel bad.
This guy deserves the praise and honor. Saving the planet and thinking for the next generation is what we need right now. Everyone got blinded by what is it right now without thinking the future.
Edible utensils are more expensive than the usual plastic, correct if you think the now. Think of it like your paying more for the sake of your future than to pay less then let your kids suffer on their future.
You know what investment right sharks?
Exactly. One must think of both the explicit costs and implied costs, and not just the monetary costs, but also the cost of our oceans, land, air, soil, and planet-- which are priceless. You are not really paying more for this edible cutlery when you think about the damage horrible plastic does in both producing plastic and disposing of it, yuck.
and it may be pricey today but in the future it may cheaper to produce vs plastic. the world is pushing for a more green utilisation, supermarkets are slowly shifting away from plastic grocery bags to fabric/cotton grocery bags. adding 11c combined with an edible product like a small tub of ice cream or frozen yogurt for example is nothing and will only push their product even further combing this edible utensil. Kevin along with the other sharks not appreciating its real value in all honesty was extremely short sighted, though I do agree with Mark in terms of coming in with not much wiggle room for the investors but this is a product the world knows what it needs but doesn't know it yet.
@@Old-Boy_BEbop Well said. ; )
I absolutely agree. Plastic cutlery is literally the worst. Every time I get one through food deliveries I try to reuse it because each time i throw it in the dustbin it feels wrong.
This was exist in India 8 years back it self
As a chef, ive seen these in many upscale restaurants. It would be lovely to be able to buy them to use at home. 🙂
They are available on Amazon
You've seen edible cutlery and flatware in restaurants? I have never seen that, it's really cool. I think that would be worth a try in and of itself.
As a chef, hope they make edible kitchen sharp knifes 🔪

Just the fact that he solved a global pollution problem is astounding!!! I’d buy just to support the idea for the next generation
He didn't solve anything, since it's not being used mainstream, but we get what you're saying.

@@loudcity0 the only way this solves a global pollution problem is if governments make plastic cutlery illegal and even then most mainstream stores will use wood cutlery over this as it is cheaper.

@@_.-c where in India?
i would TOTALLY go to a restaurant just to try these spoons. i think a lot of high end, trendy restaurants/quick eat places would love to use this as one of their selling points
A big grand salute to you dinesh. Proud of you and its great again to see an Indian thinking of human well-being and about planet as well
He is a role model and an inspiration for the world. ❤
Going with Lori was like a no-brainer. She already even reviewed the product IMMEDIATELY
And she actually didn't close this deal after this episode aired😟

Why?
Mark is smart and he is a great guy..He came up with an offer since other sharks didn't give a good offer or were not interested. He chiiping in made others think and come up with offers ..Mark, you are a hero
I think so, too.
I thought so toooo
The spark in his eyes, enthusiasm and the aura around him will take him places. His purpose is just not only to make money out of it but to give back something to this planet.
The absolute excitement on this entrepreneurs face is so inspiring. He’s making me excited about his product. I would pay extra for environmentally friendly products that saves on plastic.
I absolutely love this guy, his passion is unbeatable.

What a well spoken guy. I’m a Mexican immigrant here and I need to learn from this guy. Working towards my CS Degree but I’m slacking. He has passion, drive, and hunger for his product to succeed.
This model can go from just spoons and forks to plates and bowls really quickly. You can easily market this to people going camping or going away from there home for awhile and actually even your everyday person might just buy it too to save time rather than cleaning up all the time. I hope this takes off.
no plates because they come in contact with the table and could pick up stuff. not hygienic.
Right? I was thinking I would totally buy it if available in nearby stores at least once! He can get more people to try and buy these than just businesses!
@@mviv6339 agreed. Plus plates can be reused

I love how much he wants to help and change the environment! I hope restaurant chains consider this innovative product as opposed to traditional plastic cutlery! Great job!
Mark is such a gentleman, even though he was out he still said a very heartfelt congratulations! At the end!
I think Mark backed out on purpose so that he would take Lori's deal as it was the best one for him. Least equity and product marketing.
@@HarshhGG yea he knew he was the reason incredible eats was hesitant so he backed out to give the deal to her
Mark backed out because he knew lori offered a better deal and he we all know he doesn't like to be rejected. so he had to be the first one to back out of the deal before dinesh rejects the offer.
Mark is great!
The best thing about Lori that always gives me good feelings, is that she have designed a system that even the hard products that need educating customer is not a question to her because (in my mind) she has a balance between taking care of the business and monatery part, and the things that are needed in this world.
Lori has a knack of identifying "blockbuster products".
Brilliant idea. Also he appears to be someone who is humble, ambitious and genuinely cares (for the future). Best wishes brother! Hope this takes off :)
Actually it's the opposite now the company is not doing so good.
@@Ganesh_nykproof?
@@doyouunderstandthis you can google it
@@doyouunderstandthis When Dinesh pitched Incredible Eats to the sharks, he valued the company at $7 million. However, Lori ended up investing $500k at a $6 million valuation. Due to dwindling sales, the net worth of Incredible Eats has seen a downtrend since then and today stands at just $2 million.
At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage.
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial counselor who works with a verified Finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
Yeah, that guy is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience
I've been making more than six figures passively investing with John Desmond Heppolette, who showed me the right community to join and grow mv finances and I don't have to do much work. It doesn't matter if the market is crashing, I will always make returns.
This information is valuable. I quickly searched his name and his website appeared instantly, showcasing his impressive qualifications. Thank you for sharing.
His passion and idea is incredible. People will pay more if they know they are doing their part to help the world in some capacity. Vegans, vegetarians, organic food places, ice-cream shops etc will all want this instantly.
Absolutely
100% I definitely agree.
can i ask do you know how the equity works does that mean that they get that percentage of profits or revenue or is it something else like stock dividends
@@salmanjama3260 all of the above
It's not THAT revolutionary man
He has got great energy. It’s contagious. I wish him the best. I’d literally pay that extra $ to get rid of plastic.
I don’t get Barbara’s logic. Are restaurants really going to complain about changing their prices from $5.00 to $5.15 when they get to serve a unique and memorable spoon to their customers, leaving them wanting to come back for more?
Fr she’s so annoying
So true! And some restaurants are already starting to charge for plastic utensils on takeaway. Make it a “either way it’s 20 cents for utensils” and the buyer can choose plastic or this product. No brainer!
It was a good idea, so Barbara was out
No because they will charge you 6 total and gain almost a buck over 15 cents they paid for a spoon. And people will take it to "save the planet" or even just the experience.
No not true
You can see he is genuine and humble, I hope he succeeds
Everyone has become a caricature of themselves on this show.
Barbara likes something but for that reason she’s out.
Mark’s offers last less than the time it says “what about…”
Mr Wonderful doesn’t care about the products, he just invests on value.
Lori is nice.
Its a TV show at the end of the day
This show was better about ten years ago
because of the SCRIPT.

In the end, after he walks out, he shares his story about going from holding up a sign in the Freeways asking for a job to fast forward 10 years, building such an amazing and purposeful product/business, while working another full-time job, as an immigrant in the States. God bless him, makes me so proud as a fellow Indian/Human. Thank you for inspiring me.

Crazy how the second Mark praises the item and makes an offer, all the sharks become interested.
Not Lori. You could tell she was into it from the get go.
kevin provided the first offer though
Yea I’m starting to notice that happens alot
@@amnz19 She was just waiting to undercut the rest of the sharks, when Mark pulled it she knew she won
@@just4interest996 Yeah, I think your right. I would have honestly offered $250000 for 20% but when she saw others were sniffing, she hopped in with that offer which was a bit higher than what he wanted
Brilliant idea and looks like they made a great product that actually tastes good. impressive!
I have watched shark tank intermittently since season 1. One thing I can clearly see, the sharks as investors have matured a lot as seasoned investors who clearly know what they wanted and understand the mentality and work personality of the entrepreneur.
Where did you watched it...?
Their time matters more that's why they want such a big percentage
Except Barbara
@@nasara690 it's basically making them richer
But why many of the deals did not materialize.
This guy’s so happy and so nice it makes me sick. I love him
Wishing Dinesh and his company all the success. Looking forward to using his product
Definitely 👍
I had one of these spoons in Germany at a vegan ice cream shop, they’re very good and makes you feel better not wasting plastic. Nuts that the sharks were so hard on him, but this is literally the future of restaurant eating.
I love the fact that he just can't stop smiling. It's infectious :)
Edible cutlery is very much available in Malaysia and has been there for quite some time. The cafeteria chain "Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" in Malaysia offers edible straws and other cutlery along with their food, and I guess their top competitor offers the same as well.
Barbara never ceases to let us down 👍
what's a spoon? I don't understand, it's like a small shovel? for that reason I'm out.
I don't know how did you feel disappointed. I enter every Shark video with the expectation that she's gonna say she's out, and I'm always answered
Bad Business Barb: “Im not sure why I’m here, either.. and for that reason.. I’m out.”
“You’re super enthusiastic and in the past I have said I love that in an entrepreneur. And for that reason I’m out.”
She is very consistent
We were in Sydney, Australia recently and noticed that the ice cream shops were using edible spoons. I thought it was part of their brand. I didn’t realize there was a bigger environmental impact to the edible spoons! Very cool product!

If anyone deserved a deal it’s this guy 💯
You can see the pain in him as he realizes it's better to let go of that extra 8% and have a deal, than no deal at all.
Sadly the deal fell through as Lori's company changed the deal terms during diligence
But the product got a lot of visibility
Wait so what does that exactly mean ? Lori got more equity ?
@@filipkazacu9260 Sounds like they changed the structure of the deal to include more equity, or less money. But since it fell through, then that means that deal wasn’t completed.

@@harryp3804 or it could be the dude wasn't telling everything or missing something..
Lori has less than 50% of successful deals right? But if you get her as partner you basically always win
This product will sell like crazy, Lori made an excellent decision. Costs can be brought with scale and location of manufacturing.
Absolutely agree! The IP is clearly there...that's the biggest hurdle. Now all he needs is efficient high speed manufacturing, solid raw materials procurement strategy, improved packaging and marketing...Lori is the right person to take him over the top. He's clearly talented, passionate and driven.
I was honestly super impressed by his idea . That might be the most unthinkable product that actually makes some sense .
Honestly, this is incredible! One of the biggest barriers I face when trying to convince people to ditch plastic is the convenience factor; reusable cutlery needs to be cleaned after use and carried with you. A lot of my friends don't find it worth the trouble. Having an option that's not only biodegradable, but edible!? Genius!!
That’s what they said a decade ago.
I love it for icecream! It can compliment the dessert so much!
This guy deserves all the support. A great product and a great entrepreneur. Hope he can bring his cost down and make this a mainstream product.

One of the most innovative products ever brought to the show! This guy invented something generational changing and is too far ahead. Sharks are wrong on this one and such a shame the creator did not mention how states are already regulating degradable straws and banning plastics due to sea turtles it’s only a matter of time this type of invention takes the replacement such a great product line
He didn't invent anything. There has been similar brands years ahead of him. And Lori didn't want to make this deal after the show, most likely because this has existed.

Amazing. This is the kind of mindset that we need to change/save the world, not only how to grow money 100%. Kudos to Lori👏🏻

I was talking about this idea with my friends in the past: why waste plastic or paper on straws when you can make them edible and tasty like sweets, you can even enhance the flavors of certain food if they are too blend. Now I'm glad that someone took it to reality. Really excited to see how this evolves 😆

It means ownership in the company
1:45 "How many calories per chopstick" is possibly my favourite combination of words.
People at an ice cream store literally pay 5 dollars to upgrade a wax cup to a chocolate dipped waffle bowl that cost like 20 cents to make vs the 5 cent wax cup. If you think charging something like 50 cents to a dollar to get an eco friendly edible waffle spoon that only cost 10 cents to make is hard then idk what to tell you.
Here’s the truth of why Mark went out….he knew the guy was going to pick Lori and because he hates losing SO MUCH he chose to beat him to it
Agree. Thing is I knew no one was going to go lower, w/ that being the case the guy definitely should have picked Mark at 20%! I read a few years back that w/ the "deals" we see made on TV, Mark's actually go through about 75% of the time whereas all the other regular/main sharks are closer to 30%!
Barbara's logic for being out never fails to disappoint me
When Lori asked: what is this one here (as in like what flavor was it) and he answere: 'that is a STRAW' I cracked up together with Mark 😂😂😂😂 2:12
I like this guy, I know its a business but he seemed incredibly happy to be able to find a potential replacement for plastic waste, whereas Kevin just only cares about the money as usual.
this man is so genuine. his reaction when the compliment his invention is so wholesome
Him talking about his life with the music... had me a lil emotional, he's passionate. And Americans spend extra money in restaurants willingly just because. Most people wouldn't bat an eye to pay 80 cent for two edible Spoons and Forks.
How tf are they not jumping and going crazy for this business, this is easily one of the most profitable business ever on shark tank
