If she hadn't sent out mailbox non refridgerated napalm so lucky it didn't kill anyone, and didn't come off as an entitled narcissist I do think it could have been a hit. She is too gimmicky though not self aware as too how she comes off and just not likable. Won't be able to have a brand linked to her and she's stuck on this 1 idea she ran into the ground.

    Her BIGGEST issue wasn't money. It was her personality. She was dumb with the money but she continued to shoot herself in the foot by going after customers. She sold a bad product, never tried to make it right, gaslight those who got screwed, and then got saved by Dave's. Then she continued to be an unlikable dork and drove the brand into the ground. She never marketed after Daves got it. She never worked with them. They was handed everything but her personality killed it, not her incompetence with money.
    Edit: I don't think she should be able to bounce back. After how she treated people she made her bed. She is a crap person who got smacked by the backlash of her personality.

Only 100 bottles were sent out, and a lot of them arrived already blown up, hence were never consumed. 4. depending on the ingredients, the amount of salt and acids could be enough to inhibit the production of botulinum toxin.

    As a future entrepreneur, I made sure to study her entire situation from the start to the downfall, learned from the decisions she made, understanding how she never had a business model. She started hyping up a product before she was done testing and sampling,BIG mistake. I think the hype got in the way of her clearer judgement.
    She also would not take ANY criticism. She thought everyone was tryna to make her fail. Another mistake, not being personable as a business owner.
    We are learning a lot, so no😂we will not be making the same mistakes

    My parents taught me that an easy way to save is to give up on some luxuries. I don’t get my nails done, I don’t buy take away, I don’t go out to eat, etc. because I can get these things cheaper if I did it myself, and then I can put that money away for something in the future.

    Chef Pi went out and slandered Dave’s Gourmet and they didn’t respond publicly for a while. It turned out that behind the scenes they were trying to make suggestions for loans to her or staggered payment plans but because they wouldn’t pay for her groceries, she ghosted them and avoided board room meetings, she was contracted to promote The Pink Sauce on social media a few times a month but she protested against them and didn’t make the videos, telling them that they had to pay her more for the videos she was already contracted with. Dave’s even sent her suggestions for a smaller birthday party promotion and said that they would fund that but she ghosted them again. Dave’s tried to work with her and showed her sympathy but instead she went out on videos and tweets talking about how awful of a company they are
    Had she not done that, and I would have probably been crying to the company and tried to figure out a payment plan with loan repayments with the lawyer they had offered her, I think she had more chance of making a turnaround
