Homemade Slime Slimey Honey Entrepreneur Keeps Asking For More
/ sptv
As Mark was leaving the studio he saw a hooded figure hiding in the bushes. As he was driving home a car being driven by the same mysterious figure began tailgating him. Just as he got home the car had disappeared. That night Mark stepped outside and the figure came running at him. They removed their hood and it was Barbara to say she was out.
This comment needs to be on top! 😂💀
Hey @matth3w2002 - 1. do you "fib" much in daily life too ?!? 2. Barbara "joke" is NOT funny.
💀💀💀💀💀💀
I'm dead😂😂
LOL haha
Lori at 8:19 “and slimy.” It’s amazing that Kevin takes the punches without getting offended.
If it was Mark he would be so butthurt
@@shahwanbabar7544and throw a temper tantrum.
When you're as much of a sleazebag as him, you probably get used to being insulted and stop paying attention
they're all slimy but they're rich so why be offended
They make fun of kevin all the time 😂
Kevin would have been a better fit. He knows the toy industry well. I actually like Kevin and his deals. He's very smart. It's too sad, that these entrepreneurs don't see that.
Poor Kevin he’s never getting deals anymore lol
I don’t know how accurate I am but it feels like he gives the most offers. Probably Google has the answer.
Most people completely overlook the fact that the sharks dont have any involvement once the deals done (if its actually finalized which only around 2/3 seem to be). The sharks are mostly completely detached financial investors, any involvement they do have is via proxy of whoever they assign to look over the business. These guys have hundreds, if not thousands, of employees over dozens of businesses. Non stop meetings, conference calls, flights, emails, squeezing in family time... you think theyre finding the time to check on a paper straw company they made a deal with in 2009? Or a edible soap bar in 2014? We forget about most of the pitches we see when we're halfway through the next vid, im sure its even worse for the sharks watching 9 or 10 back to back in the same day while thinking about all their other business responsibilities. Also the final mediation with the deals are taken care of by their lawyers, they dont even meet with the entrepreneurs a second time (unless its for some special filming/follow up). The sharks really dont have any personal input in the business outside of money and assigning personnel.
There was a really interesting candid vid with Mark explaining most of this but has since been taken down since the show is so popular now and i guess it ruins the illusion a little bit.
like his FTX investment?
He is obviously not good at it. He always complain about how tough toys category is.
I love that they allowed him, being 17 and young and ignorant and potentially impulsive, to think, process, and acknowledge everything. Once he accepted the offer after being given three chances? He KNEW he made a good decision. Great job on his progress since.
At 17 !!! This guy is insanely impressive , he's gonna be big in few decades
Nah. He'll finish this fad, and if he doesn't innovate, he won't be big. Same with instagram "celebrities" and child fans. They're relevant for a few years, but once the target audience grows up, unless they or their product does too, they're basically out.
@@MultiSciGeek to be fair , you're probably right .. but regarding his appearance , communication , and numbers .. I think he is brilliant (in business management)
So I think just with guidance he will be superbly great ( as an entrepreneur I'm not talking about this particular product)
Sorry for my English I'm not native speaker
@@MultiSciGeek lol "nah" what? you sound ignorant, this guy started a business at 17 and he has reached $300k profit per year.......this product might be a fad but his business acumen, communication skills, entrepreneurial spirit puts him far above his peers ....he's done more than what most people have done in a life time already and he's still got tons of time
His accountant mother needed to come and do this with him
I just wanna know, how much she owns. ... If she dont have 20, I would not work with him
Disagree. He would have looked more like a child than a serious entrepreneur
Damien was a better fit encouraging him to finish his school, good mentor right there
Why does nobody take deals with Kevin. He is EXACTLY the kind of entrepreneur I want to make money with.
like his FTX investment?
@@coldogno7 everyone make mistakes, but its has different genre. Barbara / Lori good at Retail, Mark at Technology, Daymond at Clothes and Kevin was good for this.
Even in Shark Tank Mark lose a lot of money than the other shark.. Daymond have Bombas, Lori have Scrub Daddy, Barbara have Comfy, Kevin have Wicked Good Cupcakes.
Just because he lose investment in FTX that doesn't mean he is bad people to work it.
Because he’s greedy and not as good as other sharks
Simple he is greedy 😢
He‘s a proven scammer.
He doesn't need a Shark. He just needed exposure in this Shark Tank. This young and this much success. He has good guidance and a good head on his shoulders. I'm going to order some soon.
Daymon looked genuinely happy to be chosen.
I'm sorry, he lost me at "You can't eat it" What problem is he solving exactly? But, I guess the market talks
Idk maybe it is fun to play with. Since we are a baby boom crisis also, kids can enjoy it a lot.
@@Jbeats37Waaaay too many kids are going to eat this though. Kids have been eating Play-dough for years. I’m surprised they weren’t concerned about that. If he ever develops an edible version I’d buy it
I have one friend who collects slimes. I never even heard of it until she started talking about how she has over 30 slimes. So it's a niche product but some people really love it. She's also 30 years old and not a child.
Poisoning kids?
@@Jbeats37huh? That may feel intuitively true but many major first world countries are at real risks of population decline emergencies (well, if you think the economy will still require workers lol)
Mark was super impressive especially at his young age. If I was him, I would have offered $150K @ 15% as a counter instead of going up to 20% in that one hit.
My thoughts as well.
Or both for 20%, giving each 10%.
That's why none of you are up there 💀
@@gurpartapsinghdhillon8399 lmao savage
@@thekoshertourist @FishingWithMichaelTruong BOTH EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS LOL!
Samee
I'm amazed nobody cited the obvious eating danger around younger kids.
And it literally looks like mouth watering food
Same danger with play doh. Keep out of reach of anyone who doesnt understand the dont eat rule.
I suppose the thing is that it's not being marketed to kids, it's supposed to be an adult stress reliever. Of course kids could get a hold of it, but the impetus is on the parents.
I thought this was a practical joke. Like Sal could pitch this to a focus group
Well he says you won't die 😂
Aw poor guy. He’s nervous and not too shabby on the numbers. Everyone saying he should’ve chosen Kevin? Come on! He’s got a shark. He’s going to succeed and do swell. Good luck Mark! You have already accomplished A LOT at just 17! 👏 👏
Props to him for not losing it at Kevin getting slimed. It seemed like he was close.
Kevin is such a legend. The guy didn't even take his deal, but he congratulated him
Daymond is better. Black people are amazing
@@LTisbackthen why I always gotta watch my back around them. Sf and get that black *ick out of your mouth
A profitable business shouldn't have given up 20%. Growing the business slow at his age is not a bad thing.
yeah his inexperienced really showed there. He should have gone as high as 15% and even the sharks were surprised he went for 20 and they immediately said yes
I feel bad for Kevin when folks don’t understand his value in equal or better deals! His reputation precedes his value unfortunately 😅
Once he threw a fit over crypto, I wouldn't work with him short of a last resort! Scummy guy!
this is my comment from above, but applies here

@@coldogno7 he didn't even invest, he just endorsed it and threw a fit he "lost money" because he wasn't paid in full.
@@justmedeeomg 😮😮😮😮
If he was going to do 20% should have asked them to split.
Really don't get why he didn't ask that.
2 sharks are better than 1
They clearly weren't interested.
Maybe bc they were dissing each other lol
He's young@@MultiJejje
"I can't eat it for that reason I am out": Barbara😂😂😂
😅😅😅 so good
Hey @saadHafeez110 - Barbara was not on the program. "Fib" much in daily life, too? If a "joke" = not funny !!
Kevin: "Everything about Mr. Wonderful is premium..."
Lori: "And slimy."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kevin was the only one having fun playing and trying the product. He loves toys and watches, what made him lose is he has trouble communicating in a positive note.
"You can't eat it". Challenge accepted.
Don't go there
25th like
lmfao rip manicq5328
Can't wait for someone to make a TikTok about it and eat it there it would be funny with some good editing and an after effect
He made 600k profit at 17 he doesn’t need a deal or college
Right. Lol what does he need college for
College is a great place to network with other people but that’s about it lmao
How long do you think 600K will last? It's a niche product, it's eventually going to lose steam. The key here is being able to grab a UCLA diploma with no debt. Running a business is not easy, and it comes with a significant amount of overhead. He can get himself a job that will pay him 200K for the next 30 years. 600K is not a lot of money in the grand scheme of life.
@@michaelfranzese4975why involve in this rat race get a mil and leave for 2 world country that is safe can do business because it's growing if business does not work mill on 6% you live like king there
@@zbasedg0d397that's only if you get a meaningless degree at a meaningless school. You think Blackrock, Blackstone, Goldman, and JP Morgan Chase are taking in anyone without a college education?
I feel like Kevin is so straight up and knows exactly what he is doing. Id take kevin all day long. He cares about making money and will do absolutely anything to make the business successful if he accepts.
Kevin would be the man for this deal
Exactly right.
I agree , he was playing with it a lot 😂
I agree
Good for him!!
His excitement was palpable.
I'm still smiling. 🙂
You do not need school. We are taught to put ourselves thousands/hundreds of thousands in debt, with very little return on that investment. Most people don't even end up working in the industry their degree was geared towards. Keep creating bro, you are decades ahead of your peers and majority of adults for that matter.
It is highly dependent of whether or not he himself finds value from it. Since he’s not going into debt, he has the opportunity to experience it worry free while also developing more acumen on business or whatever he might what to venture into. His business has generated a decent amount of income, but due to its niche nature, it will eventually need to be moved on from. College allows for networking, personal exploration, development of new or existing acumen and many more. 600k is good, but what makes it great is learning to reinvest the money and grow further because the money alone won’t last him forever.
yeah, he's already doing really well. Life/work experience is way more important than majoring in business/marketing. The whole point of those degrees is to get to where he's already at.
3:35 kevin doing kevin things 😂
Glad to see how all the sharks helped him to negotiate and make him understand the situation.
He's so sweet bless him... I'm super happy for him.
17 and he is calmer then most grandparents. That's the most important thing in business. BRING CALM AND NOT LET ANY SITUATION GET TO YOU.
It’s refreshing to see Damon say; “I’m in”!
He is a great man
Barbara
is
Out
lol hes always out
I’m so glad he chose Daymond. I feel they’re gonna do well together.
Ever since I read about what Daymond did to that boneless ribs company, I never want him to get a deal.
@@abdiazizaideed9038what did he do?
He scamed them!!
@@abdiazizaideed9038 yep, unfortunate that the only 2 offers available were from dirtbags.
This should have been exactly what he said “I would be willing to part with 20% if I can get both of you”
Isn't that 10% each? They'll definitely not do that deal
Do you know how to math? Then they would have 10% equity each which is exactly what the sharks DON'T want.
Appreciate Kevin he always when not accepted for still claps and smiles for other sharks.. it takes courage for that even when deal slip through..
Wow! Very impressive. They're right. He's already set. He doesn't need an investor.
the way kevin just threw it 😭💀
Sick of the sharks asking " what do you need more money for?
Uh, because that's what I value my business at!
A test to check your knowledge. Same as asking someone what’s your sales
@Halloffamer-km9qw no, it's something try on startups and small businesses. I guarantee when they talk to their peers in business, they don't ask why they want more money.
@@MarkusHeimy well that’s why they’re millionaires and you’re arguing on UA-cam
hey i mean im not into his product but the market does talk. man’s got an incredibly level head and handled this pitch far better than most. good on him, hoping the best for his business.
7:43 "I need about 10 million to be compensated for my time" lmaoo 😂
I think people forget how wildly successful Kevin O’Leary is!!
I would have chosen him
Same
Not nearly as much as Mark or Lori and so no one wants him
@@ihkeseteeietos5722btw Barbara is Out
@@ihkeseteeietos5722 What? lori's net worth is 150M kevins is 400M not even same ball park? Lori isnt even close to kevin in terms of success.
Same here
This was a really exciting episode.
Kevin looks like there's a very happy Elephant somewhere in that studio.
actually was looking forward to wonderslime.
I love Lori were giving him tips how to negotiate 09:08
So glad when he turned around and said Daymond, think they're a great fit.
He is such an adorable young man. ☺️
And he even made the wonderslime. Wow that was awesome.
Kevin makes me laugh all the time 😂
3:00 Mr Wonderfull playing 😂😂😂😂
I suggest not calling it a flavor
lawsuit for sure
I love love love that he picked Damon :) this boy is a genius. Go Bruins
"And slimy" Lori killed him😅😅
8:18 'and slimy'.. lol Lori, exactly!
Smart. He just advertised the use of product in the end.
He had all the leverage with these two battling for the deal!!! Can’t believe he didn’t drop the percentage lower
I know right . His mom is an accountant but he drop the ball on the percentage. Was expecting him to counter at 15%
nah, 20 was the sweet spot
@@hyltoncampbell3779 He's his own boss, on track to make about 400K this year (after making 300k last year) and he's not even finished with high school yet. I think he's doing ok folks.
WHY NOT GET BOTH OF THE SHARKS!!!!!! Do these people not watch the show!!???? 150 for 20% both sharks. Atleast ask. They both put out 75k and get 10% each.
Blaming Mr Wonderful for playing with it at the very end when in reality it seems like the ratio of that anti-sticky substance was just too low.
Damon: Giving reason that he’s fine.
Speech: and for that reason I am in.
WHAT IS SHARK TANK?😅😅😅😅😅
Slimey Honey has just come out with a new flavour: Chocolate Thunder.
TEAM, we call achieve greatness! Dreams come true! Don’t give up! LETS GO ENTREPRENEURS!!!!
Kevin 3:43 🤣🤣🤣🤣 milking it out…… 😂😂😂😂
MANY thanks to the team at Shark Tank and Sony Pictures Television for all that they do in providing valuable insight and entertainment! CONGRATS on the continued success of the show. Wishing everyone on this channel (and their families) a BLESSED and JOYFUL week! ✨🙂❤ - 💥M.C. Diamond💥
Honestly, its impressive what he did at his age
Damen's comment saying he has cash already and isn't willing to do $200,000 since he asked for $150,000 thinking a 17 year old's expectations of his amount of capital needed and everything is a terrible sounding mentor for his new and upcoming business lol.
I just want the sharks being kind and patient with the young entrepreneur. Wow. Shark Tank that so humbling to watch.
8:14 "everything about mr wonderful is premium" "....and slimy"
HELP IM DYING
They sharked him. If both would do it for 20% then he should've said will either of you go to 15? Couldve saved himself another couple percentage points.
They both will say no. They know when it turns into a bidding war which is a lose lose.
Kevin took the “L” like a champion; I am very impressed!
Lori hammers Mr. Wonderful.. "... and slimy." 8:23 mark. Excellent comeback.
This was so wholesome
300k profit ! thats amazing. he has scaled his business to over million in sales just from his garage ! WOW ! WOW . I feel ashamed for not starting out with business i wanted to start almost 2 years ago. he is 17 and i am 27. I feel ashamed 😅
When you are finished kicking yourself in the butt... Get busy😜
That kids going places.
These sliimy are wonderful.... im a grown man playing with it 30mins a day... surely reduces my stress...😂
You guys are bullying a 17 yrs old?! lol
right lmaoo
he is literally the hapiness of life 😝
He passed on the shark who already had the mechanisms in that space? Wow.
5:20 "you've created a business that will pay for all of your college and then some" He's making over 300K a year at 17, why on Earth would he go to college!
“I just felt I had a spark with Daemon”, lol daemon has no idea what he has gotten himself in to
This is a lawsuit in the making, you know kids will put it in their mouth
"Everything about Mr, Wonderful is premium.."
"And slimy..."
Ouch!! Right in the teeth!!😂
Damen(sp) seemed so nice and the best partner. Good for that slim ball lol
I know there is a market for most products but I’m surprised that this one had sales and any of the sharks had interest.
Holy quacamole this was a good episode
Playing with the product as stress relief
That young man is impressive.
Laurie: “And slimy.”
🔥
Went in for the 25% to get Kevin to drop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Funnily he still made wonderslime 😂
Smart boy
I can see this collaboration with Ghostbusters merchandise 😂
2:57 😂 😭 When Lori addressed Kevin and the camera cut over. Dying here, Kevin's hands are f'd.
Im 6:30 in and nervous that they might fail to make the Kevin is slimy joke😅
They did it. W
8:17 gotchu
He has a successful business and they tell him to spend all his profits to go to school to try to get a job...
Business can die out and he may never have another.
Remember the popularity of fidget spinners? Fads change all the time. You just never know how long a trend will last, not to mention dealing with your competitors. School may or may not be his best option. It really depends on what he plans to study and the quality of the program. He may be able to apply the valuable knowledge he has learned in school to his other business ventures. If he continues to profit $300k per year, he will have plenty of money left after paying for college expenses.
@@mrhumble2937if he’s able to make 5-10million before that then he can directly retire 🫠
@@onespeedliteslime been popular for like 10 years now and it’s only getting more popular. It’s not like the fidget trust
Congrats, Mark!
What are you congratulating Mark for ?!?
Mark from Sliimy Honey! ❤
Great job ❤. Will buy a Slim for my kids
Damon was gonna go out but he saw the boy was upset!
He should've made them sell themselves and what they can offer to HIM.
JD best fit great decision
He was just there for the publicity. 😅😂
Umm...so arent they just slimes? Its great dont get me wrong...but yeh
Also i dont think he needed investements just as stated because he literally is doing well and an investment at an early stage when he is doing better than anyone would expect..
The main reason i say this is cause I'd not give 20% of my company when i dont need the money at an early stage
He can only grow stronger from this experience as harsh as they were. Love seeing young people with his attitude
