Shark Tank last night- Parker's Maple Syrup

gidgetgh · ‎03-09-2010

Anyone watch Shark Tank last night? I liked the segment for the boy who invented Parker's Maple Syrup. I was hoping he'd get a deal, but he didn't. Hopefully the exposure he got from being on the show will help send his company on the path to great success. I like stories like his.

I just placed an order on his site for the small Maple Butter and one of the cotton candy's. I'm not a jam, jelly or butter spread kind of girl but I hope my husband will enjoy it.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

We wanted to watch it, but missed it. Darn - my DH would surely like the maple goodies.

I also thought that he was a terrific young man and was sorry that no one partnered with him. I have looked at his website and will be ordering. Everyone raved about the maple cotton candy, but I will probably pass on that one. I always need quality maple syrup. Looking forward to getting it.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I also watched, and wrote down his name. I am diabetic, but thought some of his products would make great gifts. He was someone that I would have chosen to support.

So he was selling his cotton candy for $1.50 and his cost was .45 so Mark C said, no way, you can mark it up to $2.99 and he said he was going to make the adjustment..............

.....and I looked last night, his cotton candy is now $5.00!!!!!

Crazy what a little fame does

and I don't call that capitalism, I call it plain good old fashioned Greed.

i really liked that kid!

i was hoping he would get a partner also. i could see lori selling that here on qvc actually.

i am hoping he is profitable enough to make this his profession going forward.

on a side note, i did find that womans microwave silicone item here on qvc. i have never seen it presented before, but you just had to know that lori would bring it on here. i might order that also.

Not greed, IMO. Good business. If there's a market for the product at that price, yay for the kid. Perhaps it will help to provide the $$ he needs to grow his company.

I can't do sugar but everyone was over the moon about that cotton candy. Great gift and perfect timing. I hope the kid makes it on his own.

Kudos to those of you supporting his small business.

Too bad someone didn't help him out last night. I just went to his website and bought a few things. The Cotton Candy sounds yummy too. That's not too high for a special treat. Hope he does real well!!
