    About CNBC Prime: An entertainment network with a programming slate that is an extension of CNBC’s distinct brand. The entertainment-focused block in primetime includes programs such as Shark Tank, The Profit, Jay Leno’s Garage, American Greed, No Retreat, Undercover Boss and Secret Lives of the Super Rich.
    About Shark Tank
    The Sharks are looking for the best products and businesses America has to offer. Hopeful entrepreneurs come to the Shark Tank seeking an investment to start, grow or save their businesses. If the Sharks hear a great idea, they’re ready to invest using their own money. And they’ll fight each other for a piece of the action. But first, the entrepreneur must convince a shark to invest the full amount they are asking for.
    This Emmy Award-winning show has been the launching pad for some of the greatest products ever sold. The Sharks, Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec (along with other celebrity guest sharks) have made deals with - or passed on - some amazing brands: The Squatty Potty, Simply Fit Board, Bombas Socks, The Ring Doorbell, Scrub Daddy and The Original Comfy - to name just a few.
    Shark Tank celebrates entrepreneurs.

      Pretty sure the net profits are bottom dollar. Sales are great. Net profiits are what matters more. Note they never mention that in this episode. That's probably because it's ridiculously low. I may be wrong but it's very likely.

Then customer service said that the pictures don’t translate to what you’re going to get it’s just for inspiration. And that instead of getting a refund or a replacement they ended up just getting a $10 off coupon for a next order. That’s a little scary.
