To be fair the road side breathalyzers that police use are not accurate enough to be used in court. That's why they make you do it again on the big one at the police station. Those need to be recalibrated on a schedule or they aren't admissible.
They can be used in court. But defense attorneys usually discredit them pretty quickly.
@@stanleyhape8427 no they can't. That's why it's called a preliminary breath test. They are not admissible in court. The only test shown in court is the one from the calibrated analyzer in the police station.
@@maxwellblackwell5045 bro read the first half but skipped the last
@@7pan7pan93 yeah, that's most people. I bet he didn't even read my reply. Some people want to be ignorant.
To be fair, they can be used in court. But I'm going to get around this on a technicality. They can be used to establish sufficient cause for detention - but they aren't likely enough to satisfy the criminal charge.
That Breathometer device was a lawsuit waiting to happen. I'm surprised any of the sharks invested in that.
Right? Obvious scam
You'd think that millionaires would check if a product was legit before investing in it.
Im surprised they didnt ask for any scientific proof
Reminds me of what Elizebeth Holmes did.. Except a whole bunch of people in that industry actually called her out on her bullshit from the jump
Exactly, it was a Theranos Lite situation
Whats really shocking to me in all of this, is that Barbara actually made deals on the show
I'm out.
And for that reason im out
She even made 38 million in 50 k investment
🙂And made arund 100 deals total.
It's because she doesn't like low equity deals. She likes to get big chunks of companies. So when someone comes in to sell 3% of their company, she has no interest. It's smart because their shares get diluted pretty often. If you get 3%, it'll end up being more like 1% down the line.
You're shocked i do my job? I feel offended and for that reason I'm out
Its hardly a surprise that breathometer got slammed for inaccuracies, lori took 2 sips of champagne and blew a .04, thats absolutely wild and a shock that wasnt addressed
Normally 20 minutes has to have pass at least before you use an alcohol breath test device as it will just measure mouth alcohol.. which will be higher of course.
I'm kinda shocked that anyone invested in that last product, it looks so cheap and awful looking.
I'm shocked that any of this is real. I thought it was just a show.
@@bradsanders407 you thought that well known, self-made billionaires were on a show PRETENDING to invest with inventors? Wtf.
@@hensonlaura Brad Sanders' suggestion is not that far-fetched. The vast majority of deals don't go anywhere, due to negotiations flopping. Also, the Sharks admit that signing a deal on TV is not good business. It leads to sob stories and good presenters, as well as frauds who you don't have time to background check, getting deals. Much of why these billionaires do it is to boost their personal brand, it's not to get rich.
@@bradsanders407 bruh have you ever heard of Ring or scrub daddy they got the notoriety from this show and have been million dollar companies for years
@@bradsanders407 it id the deals happen off camera
"You're supposed to be working "
"No ,I am networking "
That's the funniest thing i heard this week
"networking" the accepted way of "working" when all you do it party.
Just like "no no, Im not watching youtube, Im doing research"
For real, he's as toxic as the Pink Sauce lady when she went broke but she's worse because she's blaming other people for her failure
@@alphagerudoYep, pinky herself has a tiny little ego
I can't fathom how this channel hasn't blown up
Thanks for the support!
@@amglimpse anytime! Will always be here for every upload
@@nocturnalbreadwinner just a matter of time. Algorithms gonna reach the right people and this channels subscribers are gonna skyrocket.
It’s legit my new favorite ! I’ve been binge watching!
There are so many with the same content. Almost everyday I discover a new one. Lots of competition.
Watch this at 1.5x
It’s better at 1.25 lol
@@sieales i wished there was an option to raise the narrator voice pitch too. the pitch just....irks me. haha
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@sieales yes I'm stoned so 1.25 is way fast enough.
He put me to sleep first time I watched 🤣🤣
guys, i dont watch anything on youtube slower than x2. Unless its music. So i have no idea whacha talking about
Some of these ideas were just too stupid. A rubber band to hold cash? An invisible power strip to trip over?
You don't usually leave extension cables in the middle of the room. I don't see how you could trip over it if it's behind closet for example.
why wouldn't you just get a rubber band and put around your money😂
@@elizahhoward6810who even uses cash anymore
I like the rubber band one
@@MajorOctofusswhat type of question is this?
I remember when Back 9 Dip was on "Shark Tank". It looked really tasty, so I was happily surprised when I saw it in my local Publix grocery store the very next day! I bought it a few times over several months. It did taste good, but it was a bit inconvenient. The dip was very solid in the plastic container and needed to be put in the microwave to soften it up enough to actually use as a dip. However, once out of the microwave, it would congeal very quickly, so you'd have to make several trips to the microwave if you wanted to eat an entire bag of chips. Plopping down in front of the TV with a bag of Ruffles and some Back 9 Dip wasn't really an option unless your microwave was right there next to you! haha Good dip, just too much work for some junk food!
Lmao fat american
True brother
Tealight is your answer man
Or some hot water to put a bowl inside. But yeah, too much hustle
Best laugh of the day. “Great product, just hard to eat 20 servings without getting off the couch”. Perfect review.
10:00 I started using a broccoli band from the grocery store to secure my "on hand" money. I keep about $400 in various bill sizes on hand for whenever I need cash, and as a teen I didn't really have access to my bank account so most of my money was just kept on hand, and it always was kind of overwhelming since it was a big springy wad of cash. When I saw this episode air I checked the broccoli in the refrigerator. My parents got broccoli with a rubber band and I wrapped my bills with it, and what was a giant mass became a neat and compact bunch. I still do this to this day.
Might try that. I love that actor too.
Where do you live……lol
You lost me with 400 bucks for on hand money and no access to a bank account. When your parents found out they probably turned you in for being a drug dealer or took your entitled ass to a nearby bank.
I've watched a couple of your videos and I'm very impressed with your presentation and the work you put in. I'm definitely subscribing and look forward to future releases. I hope you take off soon. You deserve it.
I'm surprised the Sharks invested in any of these, total garbage. The Invisiplug has to be one of the dumbest inventions i've ever seen, what good is a hidden surge protector if all the cords going into it are different colors. I should invent the Invisicord and take it to the Tank😂
Not to mention, what’s to stop every other company from just changing the color of their products? It’s not like they have any sort of patent. It can be copied the instant it hits the shelves.
I mean the cake looked kinda good
@@HungryChinchilla that really seemed like an own goal. it was a fine cake thing with a funny name and they just started suing each other immediately
The Sharks probably have a specific percentage of deals that they have to invest in. It would be a boring show if they only accepted 1% of the offers.
1:49 even road side breathalyzers provided by police are rarely admissible in court. It’s what you blow later at the police station that counts. Depending how you body metabolizes alcohol, this reading can be higher or lower than roadside checks by police officers. Any OTC breathalyzer cannot say what your true BAC is. That’s why they all carry a warning label that lets you know the results aren’t completely accurate.
This L is taken by the “sharks”. Even police roadside breathalyzers can make mistakes 3:48
I had no idea about the Sweetballs business fiasco. Thanks for the update.
Kevin brought up problems about breathometer when it was being presented on the tank but all the sharks getting interested overpowered his concerns. Probably could of been a good product if the founder actually worked on it could of got production prices down & make it something you use for a couple months & then need to buy a new one
Just discovered this channel last night, and after I finish this video, I'll be all the way through the videos on the channel so far.
Amazing work! Your calm but concise narration is perfect for background noise
This is a GREAT video, well researched, great V.O. awesome production and editing. This channel needs more views!!!
We really appreciate your support and the kind words!
The cactus guy was pretty strange trying to make a parody of shark tank 🤷♂️😂
You're really going places man, keep up the good work!!
Appreciate the kind words!
@@amglimpse Really interesting selection of topics.
You filled a niche category that I didn’t know I needed ❤️
Okay, there's no way the Breathometer would make roads safer. It would only give people an excuse to drink, so long as they stay under the legal limit. And if they're right near that threshold, oh well, close enough, they'll probably sober up enough by the time a cop pulls them over.
Right, because so many people need an excuse to drink. Even in your imaginary scenarios they are limiting what they drink which is probably a lot better than what happens otherwise. Get outta here.
What I was thinking abt the 'Hide a power strip' thing was, that the wires plugged into it aren't camouflaged, so what is it hiding?
this channel is literally destined to become big, whoever is running the channel, good job. you guys are smart.
You know they're buying comments when they all look like this
*Breathometer Exists*
Tim Cook: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.
A breathometer? How about "don't drink alcohol if you know you have to drive a car"? Is that really too much to ask?
Yes, it is too much to ask! People are stupid and think they are invincible. So many deaths and accidents could be prevented if people used their brains. Now, with all the Uber services, there is no excuse to drive drunk.
Damn bro! You just solved dui crimes!
I know, right? And it was so damn easy!@@mazzaleenh8388
Said anyone with a dui
The breathalyzer is dangerous. What if some drunk blows zeros and hits someone on the road
Kevins reaction to blended chicken is pure gold 😂
A wireless Breathometer already exists on interlock cars for DUI offenders. Dirtbag tip from a coworker, you can fool it with a long hose. You suck clean air into it a few times taking care to not breathe back into it.. then you use your breath to push the clean air in the hose into the detector
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the tip
Every single video is a banger. I hope this channel gets viral somehow. It would be well deserved.
Thank you for the support! We hope so too 😄
Found your channel through the Rosie Ruiz video! You content is short but packed with information. I look forward to your future uploads and you also got a new subscriber!
I watch Shark Tank, not only because it's entertaining, but because I ask myself, would I purchase what is sold?? 99.5% is NO!!👎 However, I would buy the belt buckle that turns into a wallet, where you can store your drivers license, cash, & credit cards, etc. That was a brilliant idea.
This is interesting, usually you only get the same three scams that appeared on there. Nice work, friend.
Commenting to help the algorithm and to tell you how much I'm enjoying your channel and how impressed I am with the quality of your content. You'll be at 100k subs in no time mate!
"He pleaded not guilty but his case was dismissed" You say that like its a bad thing.
It is bozo
Invisiplug sounds like some kind of weird hair transplant technique
This is such an underrated channel! I love how you edit your videos. And your voice is so perfect for these kind of videos
I cant feel bad for investors if you're already rich and get scammed due to bad business dealings. That$ on you bub
So funny, I never saw the broccoli wad, nor did I ever hear of anyone using the broccoli rubber bands for wallets other then ME! 😂😂😂 just got a new one yesterday! 😂😂😂
Police breathometers get thrown out of court all the time. How they thought this tech would work accurately is beyond me. It’s a novelty item.
i love how invested and well researched the narrator is!
Rarely talked about but imagine how horrible the deal was for the shareholders of the company Cuban made billions off of. His company was a complete dud that they purchased for big time stock options.
Great and well-researched video, saving us time to find all these details, but based on the narration and the voice, I thought half of them were going be me serial killers or something 😄
"Sweet Ballz" is just Starbucks cake pops which have been around for a loooong time.
Well before Starbucks; I made cake pops in the 80's. Hate it when massive companies appropriate common items as though they invented them. But then I'd buy a 1/2 lb of ground coffee & drink it over 2 weeks rather than buy one serving for the same money from a shop.
I mean, cake balls have been around since ancient Rome (pultes)
And cake balls were especially popular in the US during the Great Depression as a way to use up leftover cake scraps
Starbucks didn't invent them
They just added more sugar to make them addictive and charged way too much money for them
I love all the videos you’ve been posting! I’ve been binging them lately, they’re so good.
I've always wondered what happened to the deals that aren't featured anywhere. Now i know.
Great vid. ☮️
Bro you can google them, i always check for updates on old products online, there are several websites about them
If you need to check your BAC before driving. Chances are you aren't good to drive. Take a damn cab/taxi instead. If you go out drinking and can't afford a cab/uber etc... that means you can't afford to go out. Stay home instead.
It's abundantly clear that Shark Tank Shark's have more money than brains 😂😂😂😂
Given the fact that the Sharks also scammed and back stabbed their way into their fortunes, seems fitting
bubba the love sponge, haven't heard that name in a LONG time.
Oh hey I had an Invisiplug, I had no idea it was a Shark Tank thing. It sure was a power strip that kinda looked like wood so mission accomplished I guess.
Yeah I would of invested.
one of my favorite channels right now
I feel like Breathometer would have failed eventually even without the accuracy issues. The only people who care if they're drunk enough to drive choose not to drive after a few drinks just out of pure principle. Outside of that it would just be a neat party gadget for everyone to breath into and see who's the most drunk.
I'm just binge watching all your videos. Good stuff. 👍
that first one went a bit like the evil Elizabeth Holmes' theranos' products.
But how isn't this fraud...he screwed out investors,knew his product didn't work,manipulated the data to fool customers...And didn't get any jail time??? I need to start my own scam
I don’t even get why they fell for the first problem, it doesn’t seem feasible for it to be accurate
Impressive content,can't wait for more!

Also, “he plead not guilty, but his case was dismissed” 😂
_So THAT'S where Trav got his nickname!_
The fist guy was Not-working
Not networking 🤣
Great video, well done. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one!
So a few of them were good but you see how terrible management freaks up good products
breathometer should have been a usb device instead of an audio jack, which was getting phased out about the time this came out and blue tooth is too unreliable for such a piece of equipment.
Why any investor would partner with a food company would not conduct a thorough analysis of product ingredients is beyond me. It's foolish.
The company had a new supplier of ingredients for the dip. They didn't know anchovies was added. I forget how they found out that led to recall.
Lol, first few seconds is the two people that pitch on scam products the most.
whaat i thought this channel would have a lot more subscribers. the videos are super high quality
Why did the dip get recalled just for containing anchovies? Are anchovies bad? I’m confused.
It seems some people are alergic to them and it could potentially cause serious problems if they buy the product, unaware of that and end up in a hospital.
Love me some great Shark Tank content, amazing job guys!
Interesting channel. So happy I stumbled upon it.
15:21 You made it that far without cracking up, respect. But that last story really wasn't something not worth cracking up over
The broccoli wad 😂
VINNY'S WAD
I remember when sweet ballz were in qt and 711. They disappeared. This just jogged my memory. They were pretty good.
Great channel and love how nothing feels "sensationalized" New sub got.
Back 9 dips - Bubba the love sponge - hulk hogan pr0n tape. What a weird connection 😂
Why would anyone want to be affiliated with the broccoli wad though?
you make insanely good content i really hope you make it big soon i’ll tell tm friends
Damn we need the Sweetballs version of “The Social Network”
The Back 9 story is sad, they were just honest people making a living. With that said, allergen contaminations like that can kill people pretty easily which is why it's such a big deal. It's like a product containing peanuts and not having it labeled - that can be deadly for a ton of people.
Did you do voiceovers for "Homicide" mate? =) _Just pulling your leg._
Is it just me, or does anyone else not care that these millionares and billionares that actively try to take advantage of entrepreneurs. Lost money over shitty products.
I bet the dip had worcestershire sauce in it
The Breathomeder dude must have been relayed to Theranos lady.
haha "I'm networking!" wow
On the anchovies in the dips... I find it shocking that they didn't include that. Everyone knows ALL ingredients are supposed to be listed..
If you think you need to use the breathometer, you are probably already too drunk to drive.
New watcher/subscriber here, you got some interesting stuff. Only complaint too many ads, but that's not your fault. Keep it up.
13:10
This seems like a tiny detail that was probably wasn't fogotten on purpose and cost them their entire company.
But it's undestandable that people who are arelgic to anchovies it isn't just a tiny detail.
In serviceto the algorithm I post here to try to bring attention to this channel
Al Gore rhythm
Hey Bruce thanks for giving me half a work day of shit to listen too
Makes the day go by even faster and the commute as well 🤙
I was driving and when he 1st said “ 2013” I thought I heard “2030” lol I tripped out for like 3secs 😂
love, love, love your documentary
Breathometer was so bad considering bactrac was already a thing. Plus bactrack is honest that sensors "dry out" and need to be sent in for maintenence.
The back 9 dips one is sad. Why would they leave out an ingredient? The word recall sounds bad but I think most people wouldn’t care if they didn’t have some reason to not be able to eat them
They might've just sumpny forgotten to list it. It happens.
Sadly it's one of those ingredients where the mistake could kill somebody with a fish allergy
They should have re-labeled them... worse thing is the product got to the market before it was tested. I guess someone had to suffer the consequences and complain. Useless governments.
They may have used Worcestershire Sauce without realizing it contained anchovies.
Almost as if these billionaire entrepreneurs are actually idiots who have no idea what they're doing.
can someone else pause at 10:00 and tell me they also see jeff foxworthy on shark tank XD
And nobody noticed that the breathomoter plugged into the headphone jack?
How is that output jack supposed to take in such information without redesigning all phones.
"Robert Have a Jack"
Just subscribed! Can’t wait to watch future vids from you!
Sharks should have known there was too much liability with breathometer, but i guess it was o.k. since they each only paid 1/5 of it.
