That guys definitly doesn't need a plane to fly to peru...
Where are you from KK?
He can fly anywhere 😂
Your handle reminds me of the show _Löwenzahn._ 😍
Yeah because hes already high as a kite
Kekskopf Keks *guy *definitely *Peru 😎 ✌
Its good to see Floki in a new profession
😂 Nice!
Lol
Hahaha😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Top comment 😂
If this guy was born in the sixties he would have been a religious cult leader
he LOVES the women
The spiel at the start reminded me of that creepy hot yoga guy.
@@Staplegunner Who doesn't?
Totally. He's like some creepy, arrogant, controlling sociopath and he could have loads of women.
He can make more money as a leader but can have more women as a follower.
"I love women, boy I love women"
"I will pick the right dragon, quite drawn to Sarah at the moment"
Commentary for this episode have been pure class 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Liiiiiterally what I came to the comments to say 😂😂😂
He is drawn to Sarah? He can get in bloody line. She's mine.
@@OakApplegardens That's not fair, I saw her first.
Laughed so hard at infinity foods brighton when Toukar wanted him to say Marks and Spencers.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That guy reminds me of our yoga teacher who spends too much time with my wife
Hahahaha😂😂😂
I know right
Hahahahhaha
The guy from GTA 5
Somebody say yoga?
This guy missed out. Could’ve stored a tonne of chocolate bars in Touker’s office space.
Ready made warehouse facility.
Hahah
Because HE LOVES WOMEN
😂😂😂😂
More then a tonne, I would say about 100 Tonnes 😂😂
He reminds me too much of middle-aged "spiritual" guys in Rishikesh trying to get lucky with younger backpacker girls.
Hahahahahaha
Do they have any success? *checks flights to India*
@@nickpellatt I've definitely seen two people vibing, talking nonsense about a future with free energy an no need for money when meditation will be the only worthwhile pastime. You can't get any tourist visa before summer though.
@@ladulaser I met a woman in Ubud, Bali a few years ago and she told me she'd gone two years without food and lived off the Earth's energy.
Hippy-esque lifestyles are great. Without the hippies
@@nickpellatt Did she seem genuine in the words she spoke to you and do/did you believe her statement?
Entrepreneur: Marks and Spencer’s Cameraman: Zooms to Touker
he should've obviously picked Suleiman's offer: -10% extra but he gets the perfect expertise to make his business a super success.
Why Touker?
Deborah clearly has more to offer as a dragon with her background in retailing and leisure industries and she was offering a smaller equity like this guy obviously wanted.
The best offer here would've been Nicks and Touker's joint offer. But Touker got too eager and tried to one-up Peter which screwed that up.
@@bakersmileyface his company fell through and got bought by a rival company so she clearly didnt do a good job
@@way2375 damn
My exact thoughts. I wouldn't be surprised if Linus was high before he came into the den :P
I think he was too greedy with the second offer. He would probably have been the better dragon, but he was asking for twice the equity Deborah was asking for and only offered an extra 36,000 pounds.
“I love women, oh I love women”
What?
Exactly what I was thinking ahahaha
Dont we all?
Love the vag
He loves women alright!!!
Roosevelt Nzeh this guy defo likes it hairy 😅
0:00 - 0:10 - And on that basis, I'm out.
🤣🤣🤣
lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jenny Campbell, is that you?
LOOOOOOOL AMAZING
Interesting that they didn't ask for anything about profit, turnover, projections.
I’m sure they did, but it’s on the editors floor
yeah they found another Levi Roots
This video is severely edited
guess the product was too good!
I feel bad for suleman. He rarely gets picked and yet he seems like a genuine guy
I like Touker too but I think he's quite greedy in most episodes, usually always wants a lot more more equity than what's being offered and/or what the other Dragons are offering.
David Mcloughlin I think it’s cuz he wants to be more involved in the business as opposed to a passive investor, and so he probably feels he deserves more as he will be putting in work (which I understand)
He’s richer and more successfull than Deborah. This guy should’ve went with Tourker as he’s experienced in this field.
@@davidmcloughlin6547 Not as greedy as Peter who gets picked a lot. Even if there is a "better" offer on the table, people often choose Peter. I guess it's his confidence.
@@JIKittylet's not forget touker had a good deal going on for himself first with his 6%, until Peter comes along and tricked his mind to reconsider, Rly Peter gave the lowest offer among all, but it was enough for touker to make up his mind it's good. Peter has good confidence.
"He's just spot on..."
"Rawrrr, rarr, the viking, rawrr"
More like some Wehrwolf
😭😂
he looks a bit like Floki from Vikings lmao
@@yanshi777 He looks more like tumble dryer floss than Floki.
Techno viking would eat him raw 🤣
This is my brothers friends dad and he is exactly like this in person, he's such a character
Hyperion MTG that’s amazing. How’s the company doing now. What’s the chocolate called
@@jimmybaldwin737 The same thing lol, just look it up, I couldn't find financial details. It looks like they were bought by another company "a "friendly competitor" which is very rare in business.." so it depends on how much they offered and still hand down to him...
I believe he struggled with financials after the deal he was offered on the show fell through due to issues with the company name. He then sold the business to one of his friends who also owned a similar chocolate company. That’s all I know, I very rarely see him.
Good for this fella. Hows the company doing. Is it in Marks and Spencers and if so is it ok for diabetics to eat as diabetic chocolate is not all that from what i gather and im type 2 diabetic. Be intrested to know. If he needs an ex Ceo and the best salesman on this Earthly World then let me know i will smash his chocolates every where. He sold out i gather he did not have the right good Human Beings within the company and k just hope he got the best deal for him
@@hyperionmtg4650 Ah, that's bit of a shame. Hope he's doing alright as it seemed a great product.
Not one question about his business figure. Linus used mind powers right there 🐉
I'm a chocolate lover. I had his chocolate long time ago. It's out of this world. Even if he did not make a penny, they knew if they got it in front of the right people it was going to sell like crazy.
Blah Weary.
Or the chocolate was spiked with mind-altering ingredients.
8:43 - "bet you didn't expect this" "yes"
"You did expect this?" "Yes"
"Do you want an offer?" "Yes"
"I'm concerned" *nods*
Should have been yes please, guy has zero manners.
He's the ultimate yes man.
@@Hi-kq1vi sometimes in business, politeness isn't everything.
@@Hi-kq1vi He is extremely arrogant.
What did Peter mean when he said, "I'm up against it?" I presumed he meant "I'm up against a wall," but I don't see how that makes sense in that context.
Personally I would have gone for Touker. He wanted it and was passionate. Also he had a good vision
And he can give you free office space! :D
He's really skinny and when he introduced himself, the auto-captions said "I'm leanness".
😂🤣😂
For anyone wondering he sells produce in:Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Australia, Canada and Netherlands
The zoom into the visible pain in touker's face at 12:05-12:-07 is probably the best shot ever filmed in DD. Cameraman deserves an award
I would've taken Toukers offer, he by far seems the most enthusiastic and willing, giving great tips off the bat, and willing to spend time helping in growing the business. - Clearly that's why the "Raw Chocolate Company" was sold off. - Chose the wrong investor for the type of business he had.
This guy has definitely eaten a lot of psychedelics
Some people act that way without drugs
That's the joker dance, I'm not sure i want to buy his chocolates.
It’s entertainment and it’s better than greedy capitalist corporations
@@HeatSeekingMouse No, it's drugs.
Yankis shut up
@@ZiasRainbos90 it is tho u can easily tell
🤣😂💀💀
He just didn’t care as soon as Sarah went out 😂😂
0:01 I don’t remember this part in Joker
Its a deleted scene
Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey ah that makes sense. Arthur looks a little different tho
+Jasmine Chea - You need to see the *RAW* version!
He got the wrong deal. When a dragon shows that much interest you go with him.
100%, many people are so stubborn when it comes to equity %…like think about the other things you’re getting, a dragon will invest more time when they have 20% than 5/10%
Remember an episode where a guy declined 2 offers because they were 4 and 5% more than he asked for
The dragons wanted him so badly, he had so much negotiation power in this.
Such a shame.
Hair line loading: 50%
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
Lololol 😂😂
Omg LOOOOOOL
🤣
Rare to see Touker to bee so excited even without anybody needing his office space. So this chocolate must be really good.
If thats how "clean, healthy living" makes you look, I'm good with my unhealthy lifestyle
It dosent, that’s the large amounts of ahyuasca
Peter: What's the towel on the side? Because it make you feel like a cross between a viking and a window cleaner. LOL !!!
Peter trying his best to break the guys confidence and realising it won't work so he goes on the charm offensive and calls it the greatest chocolate ever lol
@Bapple I think it's all geared towards lowering their confidence so he can swoop in and get a piece of their business for less...
@@williamking1905 Agreed. Peter loves to manipulate and play mind games with the entrepreneurs and the other dragons too. He'll rip a product to shreds to put off the others and then he makes an offer. Very underhanded tactics that's why he's my least favourite dragon.
🤣😁
@@irishemogirl6720 thats how business works and capitalism in general... he just does it in a diffrent way! just look how he always starts an offer with high percentage.... when the enterpreneur wants to lower a very high percentage it only lowers a bit so its still high and peter than always agrees with the "lower" high offer! thats also a known trading technique!
Touker's face lit up with excitement when the guy mentioned M&S in passing!
So Peter isn't going to tell this guy he should have worn a suit?
Should he have? He got the offers and it was in part because they thought he was authentic.
@@ballswan No, but Peter has a track record of taking people to task for less than formal clothing choices. It does seem a bit arbitrary.
@@ballswan You cannot predict how these guys respond to the contestants They are so random
Yeh I’ve never understood it. Sometimes he’s angry others times he says nothing.. I assumed it just depends whether he likes the business on offer or not
@@retcon1991 I agree!
so they didnt talk about margins or net proficts or projections?
That puzzled me too. Maybe the producers wanted to focus on his peculiar personality, so they edited out all the hard-headed discussion.
Yeah I was trying to search for the comment that pointed this out too. Seemed very strange like he hardly had to sell it to them at all and they were instantly in.
agreed so annoying, if we dont hear the sales, profits and other financial details, it's so hard to contextualise anything. This episode makes it sound like he's getting big offers just cause his chocolate tastes good.
He has stated that his model is doing well, restricted by available financial capital, has a middle man, that can be cut out with a flight to Peru further improving an already successful business. Nuff said.
Id blame the editor though. 😉
Look at the pic they are using- makes Peter look like a giggling disciple following his guru - very strange
When he said "I love women" so creepy I just assume one day we'll see him in the paper proving such
Or you just have a delusional over active mind
@@nyakwarObat Wow, relax.
@@nyakwarObat seriously though, why did he even have to say that ? That felt so out of place in a show like this, it’s understandable some would find him creepy.
I think the vast majority of women would find him creepy. We know this look 6:35 all to well. It's a dead giveaway of a creep.
"I'd like to have all three of you"
Bet he's said that before...
You know it’s gunna be good when they r doing yoga at the beginning
That’s not yoga lol
Yoga to be kidding me!
Vegan Tina ah well
Chris Lines haha
@@rosielinsey7849 ;)
That guy goes to Peru he may end up trying the marching powder.
Cross between a viking and a window cleaner!!!!!!! ROFL. Peter has the best sense of humour. Hes not wrong
I’ve seen this pitch at least a dozen times. Love it! Just love his confidence.
9:05 Touker was like chocking on his chocolate or what 😂
Ermm i think you meant choking🤔
I’m surprised he didn’t take Toukar’s offer I would’ve myself with what he was offering with sourcing, manufacturing and being a mentor
The way he says I love woman tells me he is hiding some dark thoughts
JEALOUS EH?
Why would he be jealous of a creepy hipster...
He's being transparent in his thoughts, like he wanted to fly with his hands
@@10wanderer Yes Peter I'm very jealous of a man saying on tv randomly that he loves woman.
@@10wanderer I can't see it being jealousy about his appeal to women, possibly the fact he's rich... Sarah couldn't wait to declare herself as out
Me: "This guy reminds me so much about all the weirdos in my home town."
*Looking him up* : He's one of the weirdos from my home town. 😂😂😂
I know this guy and he once shaved half his hair and beard to see if he wanted to shave it all off or not.
Being different can come across as been weird to a select few , well done
I'm from Brighton
This place full of wierdos like this 😂😂😂😂
Hanish Giga was is Brighton today. I live in a village just north of there and it’s like Brighton but more concentrated 😂
@@noelyoconnor7873 They're not different though, they are all the same.
5:40 why did Sarah Willingham say she doesn't know supermarkets, when every other episode she has amazing contacts with tesco?
She wouldn’t leave Tesco alone with this man. 👀
@@cleopatraonlyfans spat out my drink 🤣
You could see Sarah's beaming smile quickly fade when she realized the guy was flat out ogling her. That tactic might work in hippy communes, but this is Dragon's Den!
The way he had his hands on Debbie’s hips makes me think his intentions aren’t all business related
Exactly + his weirdo constant comments about how he "absolutely loves women especially Sarah" lol. Then he picks Deborah just to touch her by the looks of it, when clearly it was the worst offer...Proper creep.
WOW! He should have gone with 100k for 20% that dragon was the most excited about your product! He wanted to mentor you!! The others wouldn't do that, they're far too busy. This guy had all the time in the world for THIS product that's how much he believes in it. Crazy to go Debora!
@@zeeshanhabib5879 at first i agreed w the top comment but u convinced me tbh he defo did make the right choice
bro he is a simp thats why did you not hear him in the begining
@@Momo-mc6pv it sure does seem this way :D
In business its not always best money that is best investment, debora wont focus as much as touker would, he was very excited and he specializes in retail too
he likes women remember lol
Mans has 3 dragons going in for the offer without even speaking about his company’s financial position.
"I love women, God I love women"
OK. But do women love you?
Most likely...they love chocolate and he makes good chocolate.. there for plenty of hole time
The laid back man who will make a lot of money and has access the high quality chocolate, yes they do
Definitely not...he's a gross creep on so many levels.
00:00 "can you introduce me as the joker"
****0:01*
Title should be "The Creepiest Entrepreneur That Has Ever Come Into The Den”
Yes, he definitely is the creepiest! I couldn't believe it when all the Dragons said how much they liked him! I wouldn't trust him at all! He's far too weird.
It's very honest of Sarah to admit she's not the best Dragon for him. Usually the tendency is more for people like Touker to push themselves as the answer to all prayers, like his excellent contact in M&S when the guy never once said M&S was his ideal store.
However he did say he bought his healthy lunches from M & S so I can see exactly where Touker was coming from with his comment....
"oh I love women."
> Sarah first one out
> Deborah's the chosen among the three.
That's a big GG.
Instantly gave me the creeps... he's well worth keeping an eye on.
His companies been bought by a " friendly " rival after running into financial difficulties.
Hes soooo creepy, sara sensed it too hence why she noped outta there. He has perv eyes
What a freak weirdo, I would never work together with him. Waaay too unpredictable and weird.
@@rayhoodoo847 You clearly don't understand different cultures, and haven't had much experience with people from a variety of backgrounds.
All I need to say is 6:35
If Brighton was a person...
I'd have gone with Touker on this one. Actually I'd have taken him and Nick, knocked Touker down from 6% to 5% and brought Nick up from 4% to 5% to to make it fair. Also, why am I getting RoboCop 2's Cain vibes off this guy?
Flyboy lol good one! He was definitely high on nuke.
I got the same vibe immediately when I saw the bloke.. ;)
He should have taken Touker down to 10% for 70k. That value chain he was gonna create for this hippy would have been madness.
@@realestatewithlusanda4549 the nick and touqer deal was the best
Touka initally offered £6000 per %1 and then offered £5000 per %1.
Peter: I bet you didnt expect that today did you?
Entrepreneur: Um, yes.
Peter: You did expect this today?
Entrepreneur: Yeah
Peter: Wow.
You know what, I don’t want this chocolate. I’m going to the beach.
Wait... wrong channel
I'm cute. Built good
Her name was 22 and she was Adriana
Why don't you take a seat over here?
Scrolling through this comment section and finding this gem is the cleanest, best pleasure.
Ben and Jerry's Funky Monkey?!
One of the best Dragons den in a long time.
Never seen Deborah smile like that before, he must of slipped it in while he hugged her 😂
Reminds me of the two hippies in The Simpsons who did the juice that Homer ruined. All ‘spiritual’ and easygoing, but with a ruthless, capitalist underbelly.
Ben and jerrys. The body shop. Google.
My first thought, "he's a bit weird" - My final thought, "seems like a cool guy".
Sarah wanted to delve into the supply chain detail, everyone wants to Delve into Sarah.
Lmaooo
Am I alone in thinking the whole "The [insert function of business here] Company" naming convention is done to death?
Touka initally offered £6000 per %1 and then offered £5000 per %1.
Can't believe the dragons warmed to this guy. The business must have been performing quite well then and they were informed beforehand. Sarah was the only one that picked up on his off attitude and was out from the get go.
why did they edit out talking about numbers. WHATS GOING DRAGONS DEN UA-cam? We the viewers are not mugs. we've watched plenty of these videos. Dont insult us.
"I love woman", 1 min later, "I feel more drawn to Sarah"
The Sarah goes on to get out first 😂
Hahaha
He’s got a serial killer vibe
Oh come on don't be mean
Maybe he's just pure, cause he's at peace with himself instead of being poisoned by society by being scared to be yourself and trying to fit in.
I got a lsd vibe from him when he did that opening dance
@Jordan Nkosi 😂😂😂👍
As soon as Touker starts talking about “Touker time” you know he’s trying to screw you out of your company! He somehow has “Touker time” for everyone!
Toukers face 12:06 had me dying 😂😂😂😂
Touker makes the best faces - he's always pouting at a good deal LMAO
😃😁
“Im more drawn to Sarah at the moment”
Yeah me too, and im not pitching anything 😂
"i think you will be super successful... for those reason, I'm out"
lmao 😂😂😂
The most vegan vegan, who ever did vegan.
From the very veginning
I love women, I am feeling drawn to Sarah-oh yes, wonder why?
Can't blame him
@@kelvinmathew6076 She was looking lustfully-but only at his chocolate stash.
This guy, the energy, the positivity.
He couldn't have missed a thing.
wrong . He chose the wrong dragon.
Gotta say Deborah is always fair with her valuations.
This is what I’d imagine Jack Dorsey to be like in 15 yrs time
Why does every earth loving hippy look exactly the same?
Businessman: I have developed a cure for cancer and aging
Sarah: I'm out
Fella looks like Cain - the main villain from 'Robocop 2'!
"Hello, Dragons. I am here to seek investment in my new drug Nuke! I plan to smuggle it through the cover of a chocolate factory"
I was thinking that too!
Lol
Linus Gorpe is 100% a Roald Dahl name
"I feel drawn to Sarah"
Yeah, we all do bud
No i don't.
Dude heard that several multi-millionaires thought he was onto something big, and got the money he needed while only giving away half the equity that the other Dragons were asking for. Absolute legend.
Not even watched yet but I can already guess he’s a vegan, votes Green, never baths, smoked pot and grows plants in his garden.
6:07: *Debra while making love*
6:10: *Debra after making love*
Yeah if he's acting like that I wonder whats in the chocolate lol
He's more like a naughty elf than a viking.
OMG, he called Peter cheeky 😂 this guy
He clearly is a man with good self-control. He wasn't greedy and just wanted what he asked for orginally.
It would be great if Dragon's Den could add value to this series for us by giving a summary of how each deal did or didn't proceed, and how the company fared.
Seems this one didn't finalise, and by 2018 raw was in administration and merged with another company...and it was thought that the combined effort "might" make a success...so, for all the optimism, seems this 'Viking-window cleaner' didn't conquer the world, or even Sussex after all.
The way Peter help Debra win this deal... Touka`s personality was his Akilles heel and Peter saw this and went in for the kill and saved Debra of Troja.
This strikes me as a fad product. People see it on the shelves, get intrigued, try it a few times, like it but not enough to justify the hefty pricetag, and then go back to buying the cheap stuff they're used to. This can probably make for a niche product in a much larger product portfolio, but I can't see it sustaining a business all on its own. I'm not at all surprised he went belly-up and had to sell out to a competitor.
He started it in 2006 so did alright for over 10 years
He didn't sell out to competitor, he still owns the company and it's going great. It's also not a fad, many people are choosing raw food and pure ingredients these days
@@BigFatFarm The company went into administration (what we would call _receivership_ in America) back in 2018 and was bought out by a rival company.

If Toukar had put his fancy dress on and made an effort with makeup he'd have stood a chance of having his offer accepted...
I'm confused. They didn't hound him about margins and figures like usual. It's like he did some awkward quirky voodoo and they all just threw their panties at him.
Peter's offer screwed him, he could probably have gotten two dragons @ 72k for 6% (maybe 5%?) each.
Finally a guy thats so chill
What about the office space Touker could offer as well as the M&S
