I just love how Steve dislikes everything healthy. Absolute mad lad
brah, Steve dislikes everything, he is always grumpy
@@jonathanm2690 he is always calculative and realistic about his investment and returns. Being straight forward is much better than others buttering and don't wanna write a cheque :)
@@prafullarora No I am sorry he is always grumpy, even before someone gets into the numbers and nitty gritty of it, he looks like he is in that grumpy pain mood.
@@prafullarora +1 Love him
He reminds me of a 12 year old boy when it comes to food. It seems if it’s not a burger and fries he doesn’t like it.
Loved it when this guy wiped Janine`s smile off.
It's true, boost juice is stupidly expensive and it's not even healthy. Most of their smoothies don't even use real fruit, it's fruit juice and ice
she first praises the revenue result in just 3 months..2 minutes later "you have no track record"
LOL
And she just said 40000$ in sales that's impressive in 3 months. And she says I don't see a track record. Common u gotta come up with a better excuse Janine
German humour at its best.. Everybody says we don't have one but really people aren't quite self-depreciating enough to enjoy it outside of Germany
Everyone:
Shark Tank producers:
"LET'S SEE HOW MANY TIMES PER SHOW WE CAN ZOOM IN ON JANINE SMILING!"
😂😂😂😂😂 she doesn’t smile
Cause she’s reptilian..... 🦎
Right? Give me some more NAOMI.
Janine does not smile. Her face has fossilzed that way.
@@saltingrid1289 LMAO
I’d do them both
9:10 "come on benjiee, talk to us" was soooo adorableeee!
I thought all you have to do was putting that ball in a glass of water and it would turned into an instant smoothie.
yeah me too.
You can buy dash packs (a packet a little bigger than a sugar packet) that turns into a instant high protein nutrition drink. 35 day supply for $19.99. Its not as thick as a smoothly. You open, drop, wait 1 minute, then drink. No mixing. Can be added to any liquid.
He said it's about saving time but why is no one talking about its the same time to make some cereal it's not going to give you those extra 10 minutes in bed
@@jenni1298 Exactly, and that's excluding the fact that you need to clean the blender...
I mean, you COULD…but would you want to. Freeze dried powdered fruit, seaweed derivatives for the jelly-like texture, flavorings…nah.
I love how Steve is always down to try things
They buly him
The dude's basically an employee at 10% and he's pitching the sharks..
Many CEOs are like that, no?
/on the other hand its free advertisement
hes the brains they're not gonna send the biggest shareholder to pitch
Master Ryu 100% accurate they know they will be on TV, which means they are already going to get to have many look, as I am a fan of Blendies and this popped up on my recommended.
Advertising to the max lmao
6:58 - Janine should proceed to the nearest hospital and seek treatment for that burrrrn

Steve 7:08
7:38
*Naomi:* Benjamin what are we going to do with you? **cracks whip*
*Benjamin:* (looking for a way out)
jesus I thought the same thing. Benny boy was about to get SCREWED
"It won't kill you Steve. **whisper** It's gonna be okay."
I'm howling 😂 ma boi Steve is allergic to anything "healthy " 🤣
i died when Andrew said that xD
⁰
Funny how Janine says he doesn't have a track record of success when he made it abundantly clear at the beginning of his pitch that he'd done $40,000 worth of sales in 3 months.
40k in 3m months it's barely 500 at day, not enough to say "my business worth 2m"
New products always have a bit of a honeymoon period, $40k in 3 months is a great effort but doesn’t give any true foresight into what future revenue could be. For me, 3 months simply isn’t long enough and $40k isn’t enough revenue to really gauge how successful this business could be.
track record for success include sustainability, not just initial growth. If thing is a fad, it'll fade right before you knew it. Remember those fidget spinners?
3 months is not enough to guarantee succces they are gifting they are investing
and rolled out another business.
They seem to do well now. Got 1 million$ investment and sales at 100-200k per month as per an article in 2019.
prove
@@austonpower8168 why don't you use your lazy ass and search in Google.
@@krishnadm8 lmao 😂😂😂
This guy literally grabbed food and rolled into a ball 😂
Yeah mate I thought this already existed but in powder form. Which honestly is way more simple
Overpriced, low calorie, low protein. I would pay 10 dollars to get sufficient breakfast from it and would have to wash my blender afterwards.
He's a human dung-beetle.
@@zdenek3010 The idea is adding it to a smoothie rather than measuring out the few different additives it contains. Not a bad idea for a fairly narrow market but most people would either not want to do the work of making the smoothie, or just be willing to measure out the additives.
😂😂😂😂😂
I think he came for the exposure. He knew with the structure of the business, it was gonna be hard to be on it. He's smart though
Haven't watched the video yet.. but I feel like Jenny is out
I was literally going to comment the same thing😂😂
Haven't watched the video yet but yeah jenny is definitely out
Naomi is already out because she actually has no money and just uses the show as a 9-5.
Kelly and Barbara are also out
she emailed before the pitch that she was out
I really like how there's a link to the business in the description, I wish Dragons den UK did that.
LMAO "My product is a bobcat turd you drop in your blender with a banana and almond milk..."
im crying 😂😂
So still need to add banana or some fruit, AND add milk, AND requires a blender (which needs to be rinsed immediately if a high end one (Ninja, Vitamix, etc you want to preserve). How is this better than having protein powder and frozen fruit or the like? I love shakes but this is an awful product and will fail.
This was filmed a few yrs ago and they are still around. Shows how much you know.
@@jaymackenzie7266 Thank you so much for helping out here :)
Banana milk big deal people still buy groceries lmao
I was thinking the same thing. You can just buy the greens power and do the same thing.
@@birdyhummingbird859 So, can I get a Job?😂
Shark Tank Australian is so adorable!! Sad that the show is over.
Steve try to be mad, but is a persona. I’m sure he is nice guy.
The guy was not there for an investment - he was there for advertising. Excellent marketing campaign!
Naiomi gave the “f*ck me eyes”
@8:20
The thing with smoothies is. It tastes great and is easy to drink, so obviously a lot of people like it. But if you're not chewing on something, your stomache doesn't get the signals to make the right juices to digest properly. It's not the ideal solution because of that.
Nice one. Not Herbalife and similar fan, if I want a fruit take it not a fancy brand and fake flavour
Peanut so just chew while you drink 🤪
I love seeing one of the sharks have a direct competitor haha
If he owned 100 % of the company he would have something.
Nobody:
Steve: “Hey mate I’m Steve, where are you from?”
Cool idea actually
And Steve's OH was hilarious. He totally wasn't expecting to like that lol
7:39 *Naomi:* Benjamin...what are we going to do with you? *wink wink**
*Benjamin:* (GULP) Mommy!!
Steve is that perfect blendie of a techpreneur + foodie :D
You shout food and he'd be the first one to jump in to taste hehe
He came in for $200k for 10% and she gave it to him, only wanting 100k in return, which if you had confidence in your business would be easy. He just wanted free publicity for his product.
Not entirely free but ok
That’s the issue with shakes though. It requires blending. We want the blended shake delivered to our bed.
"Think of it as beer" hahahah
7:44 The cougar look haha
Steve has a obsession knowing where people are from lol.
Its pretty importants as if you are investing a quarter of a million on your pocket money, you would like not to catch a 5+ hour plane (half a day with commutes) just to talk business. Face to face is a must
@@lukegalvan3093 but where you are from and where your business is based are two very different things
DeAndre Holland
Imagine if he was an unregistered sex offender
@@lukegalvan3093 just zoom it
“Blown away” is that how people are blown away in Australia????
LMAO
I can only assume it’s a better version of being blown away then the type that goes on in your region.
Sam Livingstone hahaha love that....👏😂😅🤣
Feel free to move to Afghanistan.
@@YTGhostCensorshipCanSuckMe what's up with the racist comment? Looks like a low IQ and ignorant person arrived. Let me teach you a couple of things or two you moron. First, I am Egyptian. Second, I live in the US. Third, get your head out of your ass maybe you will be able to make it in life
Says wants people to get extra sleep and to forget cereal or toast. Toast or cereal would be faster then blending and then cleaning that up so I do not go for the sales pitch. Might be a good product but not faster then a regular continental breakfast.
i learn more business from this show than i do in my own business classes at uni
You're not wrong kenzie. Are you going to start a business?
@@herogebrial No, not starting my own business. My degree is for International Marketing!

@@kenziepickles good luck
Birdy Hummingbird that’s actually a really smart strategy, people have already seen the pitch, and now you’re pushing them into actually trying the product with such a good deal
As I watch the past Shark Tanks I wonder how all these companies went through the COVID19 economy hit of 2020.
Seen as this Episode was originally filmed years ago and this Business and product is still doing well, the Shark's should have believed in him more....
Hi, is it in stores in Australia. I'll be googling it but just want to know from someone there. Cheers
Dog food for humans.
The future is here.
Can someone give me the timestamp for when the Sharks are blown away by his business acumen? Watched the video twice now and waiting for when they are "wowed".
Way too many people involved in such a simple product
9:10 Andrews inner IT comes out “cmon benji talk to us”
I love the show ..thanks
WHEN WAS THIS VIDEO RECORDED IN 2018
This episode is 3 years old, why is it just now being uploaded???
This show was cancelled! Why is it still being uploaded!
0:20 Janine's husband must get annoyed with her checking out every half decent looking guy with that look on her face 😆
Great advertisement for the product
Anyone where are they now........
Didn't get it. What's the difference between a protein shake and this ?
Bring blendies to Europe! I NEED them now :D
Shark: What's that accent I'm hearing?
I'm half German...
Shark: I'm out, thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
Love this program. Why was it cancelled!!!
Great question, in my opinion it's the best show out of the whole lot.
Because they don’t make deals
I read that despite them making the most offers, they hardly followed through and invested.
@@LLittleLessons happens in all of the shows though! Both parties get to think it over, and the investors get to look at the figures in more detail plus ask more questions etc.
Shark Tank got cancelled?? Since when
The dude had to call his boss before saying anything. 10%!?
did they hit their expected sales numbers in 2017?
Is this show comming back on tv
When I heard hummingbird brand I remember the one with the disabled kids.
I think it was a daycare?
Vintage tears yeah it was... as soon as this started I thought about that deal
Does anyone feel like all innovations seem to capitalize on making people more lazy.
People are already lazy, innovations are catering to us
@@mikebiff that could be true too.
its so we can have more time to work. the less time we spend eating, working out, sleeping, cleaning the better.
If you replace "laziness" with the word "convenience" you then have a product that doesn't insult your consumers & appeals to investors. It's all perspective & marketing that makes a business successful. Is there a need for it? If you can convince others there is, then there is. Simple.
Ashish Kumar you could say the same thing about cars and walking 😂
Another case of those just looking to get quickly recognized on media...
Yeah lmao hes in all the comments acting like a desperate little dog
Steve is just there for free food 😂
This cane out in 2017? Old episode
It is in essence the way to turn the super folders of outdoors/y prep into a viable business
He didn't want a deal, he literally says he already has investors. What a waste of everyone's time
I see the idea but to be honest slicing up bananas and strawberrys and pouring milk in a blender to then blend the drink its more work than pouring a bowl of cereal in my opinion.. You can get very healthy cereal nowadays with equal nutrition i bet. Plus cleaning the blender before you heqd out is more work than washing a bowl.
Great points!
They've really got a complex Share Structure...🙄
Business is budding and it's already teared apart.
Naomis offer was superb!!!
I like the Australian version bc they're not as crazy like us Americans on the show lol
Jackie so true lmao
The dynamic is so different compared to the Americans. Especially when the sharks announce their offers
I like how pweds joining this kind of investment
Was looking for advertising, not investment.
Why didn't he hear out the interest on the loan???
Steve always says yes first to food
he founded foodora?? that's huge. i bet it's in every single country in Europe. and i bet it only grew during the pandemic. resturant food delivered on your doorstep.
We are in 2020 and this video was uploaded 4 days ago yet the forecast is for 2017-2018
[REuploded vids]
Just come from watching sharktank the hummingbird (the special child care episode) coincidence this also hummingbird on the same show
Very few people need protein supplements, they are a waste off money. For the best smoothie combine; frozen mango, chilled butter milk and ice cream
Wich ice cream? I will try that out
Wow they have an Australian Duncan version
Stolz auf dich !
We are all blown away!!! We are out!
Yo there's another company called hummingbird in the us. Confusing
I don't understand why they didn't ask how much percentage other investor put and for how much equity
Is this what acumen means?
7:03 ole mate just found his balls and threw them at Janine... Boost juice is bloody expensive, if you had boost juice every day for a week it would cost you $70 on average a week, Hummingbird cost you $2.20 a day... big difference... Janine's face was priceless at 7:11 , truth hurts
Naomi is the principle who wants to be friends with the kids but comes off as very weird
He said it! He said it! A COOL 2 million dollars!
what? foodora is all around the streets here in malmö sweden!
This episode was made in 2017 :)
Man goes 1 2 3 5 years like what about the 4
$40k in total turnover to data and he thinks he has a $2M value? lol
Investor: we have no sales
Shark: you’re too early
Investor: we have $40k sales in three months
Shark: you’re too late
🤪
It's not 3 months is too late. It's there's way to many other hands in the cookie jar already
I hate when they always react when they hear the valuation before even hearing how they got to it
I would buy this
That's way too much time and effort for breakfast 😂
Steve doesn't ask him where his from
Spoiler alert
Brilliant idea.
A bit messy execution.
this doesn't really solve a problem, if the problem is having to make breakfast. you still have to prep fruit for the smoothie. a better product would have been a shelf stable add water and go smoothie, or just a refrigerated smoothie beverage.
Naomi "what are we gonna do with you? 😏"
Ben "😐😐😐...."
Yes. What was that?!
Steve is the most closed minded to nutritional benefits and science guy I've ever seen.
That’s why we love him 😈
There’s zero nutrition benefits or science to back these types of products. They’re pure fad. Half the banana with some kale and almond milk would be a million times healthier without the stupid ball of processed ingredients.. They don’t provide antioxidants, they definitely don’t cleanse (the green one). These products have already been debunked by science.
If I was a shark, or even just had the money, I would investigate further by viewing the actual sales figures of $40 000...I would definitely go for it. 😁
I would like to try that smoothie
Steve: "...I'm not a believer in it"
it's not a fucking ghost mate 😏
I don't think I could drink a smoothie every day for breakfast.
Someone chocked eating the ball. The company closed LOL
