Some times just going on the Den and getting the exposure/free advertising is the Win.

@@ianrae1546 if you want to see Peter at his worst, you’d have to find it from a random KZread channel that uploads full episodes with incorrect titles (like wrong season and episode number) because during the sweet mandarin sauce he literally goes off on the sisters insulting them in the most disgusting way you could imagine. He then learns they already have an order from one store by popular demand worth more than $250,000. The dragons all look at him smiling and make comments about their success just to get under peter’s skin and Peter makes the most angry douchey face you could think of. In the official upload they completely change and edit it out. He said many things but one thing he does nonstop talk about is how it isn’t good enough and will never work. They prob make more than reggae reggae sauce now by far.
Seen in many shops but never tried now I seen episode I will defo try it next time I see it 😅😅
Actually a product I purchase a lot, their salted caramel marshmallows are great haha

I find it strange that 99.99% of people have never had fresh marshmallow from a farm, so crazy right.

Peter knew it would be successful hence his offer and disappointment by way of his "sweet" comment which if I had been on the receiving end of from such a successful man, would cause me to realise I had missed the point of his approach and made me accept. His reference to Mr Levi Roots says it all. History tells us he was spot on!

Wow we sell many of these at work too.
Never heard of them never seen them but grats to her i guess
Hindsight is a wonderful thing
Piers Linny is such a useless dragon. I've never seen him even say anything constructive or interesting in the Den. I knew he wasn't going to invest and I knew he would give a boring, cop-out reason. Glad they got rid of him. I similarly think the same about Kelly Hoppins. People make fun of Jenny, but she has proven to be a shrewd business woman. Kelly and Piers though, absolutely useless.

Agree on Piers and Kelly. Has Piers even invested in anything? I never remember seeing him invest even once. Also, I once commented on some DD video after Evan Davis said “but something is troubling Kelly Hoppen” which I quoted and then wrote “Everything troubles Kelly Hoppen.” I got a ridiculous number of upvotes on my comment. Highest I’ve ever received by far.

40% seems high but this like any brand creator or inventor wont be the only thing they invent or create and the 60% they keep creates the capital for their next big product or idea
every so often I look at these on the shelf, but buy something I already know. I am honestly awful like that.
Ahhh okay... 1. Ask if both are willing to work if yes 2. Take percentage down to 30 3. Once money is given back drop the share to 10% each Just my view not want to argue with anyone.

@barneylaurance1865

100% natural on a food label basically means that all the chemical compounds in it come from living things or natural minerals. There are no chemical reactions done in in a factory to produce an ingredient. Although of course things like the normal Maillard reaction that happens in standard cooking are allowed.

Rather than focus on ones that got away, it’d be interesting to show dragon investments that failed. To not have invested in something that succeeded isn’t a loss.
