Do the licensing deal, sit back, collect checks. But if she doesn’t get the patent then this will never work out for her. I should add, this is a really good idea. There’s no need for those things to be plastic. But they must be made cheaper.
Those things can probably be brought down to the price of toothpicks with the right equipment. But then again that’s why you license it to the big guys who do have that equipment
I'm surprised no one in that room knew that there are already several brands of biodegradable floss picks on the market. I know this because I've been using them for a couple years already.
That doesn't surprise me for someone from Portland. Many people in Portland are environmentally conscious and go out of their way to avoid littering the planet with plastics. It seems people from areas with a lot of nature are much more this way than people from areas with no nature.
You forget that most people in Portland, Oregon are irrational bleeding-heart liberals. They don't think rationally, they act on emotion regardless of evidence that contradicts their beliefs.
you obviously have not been to Portland lately. Those people keep electing the same politicians that have turned a once great city into a zombie apocalypse. The people that vote that way only care about virtue signaling. Even at the expense of their own wellbeing and their children. It's disgusting but completely true.
She even said the name of her biggest competitor on TV which further proves that she's not a business person. When have you ever seen someone do free advertising for their competitor by mentioning their company name lol.
She couldn't even name the manufacturing companies in the US when Kevin knows them. Really goes to show how unprepared she is. She looked like she was gonna do her own dental floss one by one again and again. 😅
What's wrong with just the floss in the little box? That's what we had back in the day. You get many, many uses depending on how long of floss you buy in just one little box to throw away.
Why are you forming an opinion on products you don’t use or want? I use floss sticks all the time so I can tell you this has potential but not well run
I think that's a great product! I would pay a little more if it's sustainable. I really don't buy those plastic ones either because it always seemed like such a waste. They're always in the parking lot somewhere. No more plastic please!
nice idea and product .. but my dentist says regular floss is better cause it wraps around the tooth better than a floss pick 🤷🏽♀️ i do like using floss picks tho
@@erichernandez1177it was recommended to me when I had braces and an expander because flossing was difficult with all the metal in my mouth. I’d recommend it for parents with smaller kids to help with flossing.
It is easy to see why the big players rejected her. You can buy a 60 pack of plastic floss at the dollar store for $1. They probably make them for less than 20 cents. Why would they invest in this?
She mentioned the company Humble Co in her pitch, this is all that they do, and they are worth millions. Their floss packs run for $16 at my local target, they're almost always sold out. Just because YOU wouldn't doesn't mean people don't.
If your a small company with no sells or verry little (raise funds don't count) You can't value your company in the millions, maybe not even hundred thousands, it might be from 20k to 400k just depends on the business and who manages it
Or even better - just use a liquid flosser that reaches places these can't. I use the Philips one and it's brilliant. The only waste is some mouthwash that goes down the drain, and a single flosser head every few months.
i work in a dental clinic, although water picks are wonderful, and they help a lot, they are not meant for replacing floss. i use the waterpik brand and they are meant to be used in conjunction with actual floss
@@arfriedman4577this commenter is not referring to mouth wash but rather a water pick which is basically an at-home and less powerful cavitron. a very high speed water sprayer. On your mouth wash note, it depends on brand and what use you need mouth wash for. Mouth wash is useless if the user does not brush their teeth, but it can be used for bad breath, after brushing rinse, or safe tonsil stones removal. therabreath is a wonderful brand for all three of those uses. But using mouthwash prior to brushing teeth is basically useless. post teeth brushing is useful :) hope this helps

She's delulu. She thinks one shark is enough to compete against multinational billionaire dental companies. Forget about it. Plus, Humble Co is only one of many different brands that have biodegradable floss and biodegradable floss picks.
How come they passed her in the early audition? She's definitely not ready for business. Did the production team just needs an entertainment of seeing someone crushed in the tank?
U kno that whole shtick where the entrepreneur makes something rain to make a point is so whatever now. If anything what she did here was pretty wasteful. Even if they disposed of it properly someone else could of used those before being put in a recycling bin or something. Besides that her update was predictable. This year 2023 she still don't have her stuff on the market or even being created yet for distribution. Good luck dr......ur really gonna need it
Trees are easy to renew, they absorb their own co2 when growing, and release it when it degrades back down, and its relatively cheap to facilitate and use. The only real downside is how fast/easily paper degrades, so its pretty limited in what it is a good material to be used for
Once she admitted she didn't know how to run a business it was over. She needs a lot more help than the sharks have time to give.
I think if she’d come in asking for $50k for 45% and allowed herself to be negotiated to slight majority going to a shark they might’ve gone for it
... how is her patent "certain " if she has competitors

I'm surprised no one in that room knew that there are already several brands of biodegradable floss picks on the market. I know this because I've been using them for a couple years already.

Cares about plastic pollution...then dumps 1000 pieces of plastic that'll just get tossed by production🤣
"repurposed" from her practice
I’m not buying that parents won’t floss their children teeth due to plastic.

But then again Oregonians are weird like that. Wouldn’t put it past them
You know our DNA now has plastic strands / traces. I would buy paper floss if affordable

Exactly my thoughts. What's wrong with that??
Isn't that still plastic?
My dad knew how to make his floss last and last. He had great teeth and didn't need any indiv. flossers.

plackers makes eco friendly compostable flossers for like $5. and Humble Co makes eco friendly compostable flossers for $4.99 for a 50 pack

check you cupboard and tell me how many of the items in there is built with plastic or are in plastic containers. I bet its about 99%
@@bjvu9460 I try not to have those either! That's the point.
I agree
Waterpik. You're welcome.
Why not invent a floss pick attached to a regular pack of floss, so it's a continuous feed and lasts indefinitely?
It's already been done 10+ years ago.
I reuse the plastic flossers until they fall apart. The mouth is not a sterile environment that requires single use.
I also wash it with soap cuz I put it on a dusty surface.

How to forget when Adel went to Shark Tank to try and sell floss
She thought her moral superiority about the environment would be enough to get her a deal 🤣

If this is Dragon's Den, Kevin would destroy her with "nobody cares with environmental" quotes.
@@barackmycat9448 that’s got nothing to do with my statement tbh
And with the rainbow colors all over.
And saying Portland is environmentally conscious while the streets are littered in garbage and human excrement is hilarious
why not make one where the floss is easily replaceable instead? I'd buy that and it has a similar environmental effect.
There's biodegradable floss on the market already Humble co is one of them, she even mentioned their name 😂
You can wash and re- use the quality ones forba week or two.
For once, I agree with Kevin… why wouldn’t she just go to Colgate or Oral B or Crest? Makes no sense.
Imagine thinking you’re worth 2 million dollars and you are pre manufacturing 😆
Tweens would love these. If you haven't marketed to them please do. Your sales will be huge
there is a thing called the waterpik(dentist already use it). it uses water and is better then flossing

@@paulkersey6283 well dentist have them in a professional version for over 50 years in their practice so i tend to follow their opinion.
If your dentist is telling you a waterpik is better than flossing, you need to find a new dentist.
How is she so oblivious ?
Have you tried writing to the dentist in Portland Oregon ... to find out the lack of "obliviousity" ??
A reminder to do your homework
I would've made a deal contingent on a patent and a licensing deal.
Except it already exists with Humble Co, she even named them 😂 Humble Co has biodegradable floss picks and biodegradable dental floss
What did she end up doing with the flossers on the floor? Throw them in the landfill? Use them off the floor?
