    I get the sense the producers of this show do this on purpose. They find a few really good inventors, and then the rest that get paraded through are doing so with the producers KNOWING they have no sales or product. It's unnecessary drama to feed the masses who soak it up. Just like all other "reality tv" (hint: there's very little that is real about reality tv shows).
    Frankly, the Dragons were as honest as they should have been to this guy.
    7:16 Yeah well Kevin, you're wrong. The producers of this show will double down and find someone more crazy. That's how it works.
    Pathetic that Dragons Den brings in guys like this.
