Shark Tank US | Sharks Are Baffled By Gatsby's Product
/ sptv
if someone would think the calories being on the front is "toxic diet culture" maybe they're the problem
Knowing is half the battle
I'm a millennial and that never crossed my mind, on the contrary, I'd buy that knowing I can eat the whole thing and it's less than 200 calories 😅
It’s cause of feminism
Old people syndrome. Delusional
Toxic diet culture is someone who always worries about calories. Someone like me
Millennial here…. Love that the calories are front and center and love that it’s under 200 calories. Since when is being health conscience toxic????
I was thinking the same thing.. it's also helpful on the front so you can see it in a venting machine.
@@16handsoffunfunfunHaha. As opposed to a vending machine. Saying that tho all those whiny far left lunatics definitely need a vent now and again.
It’s just mindless millenial/gen Z bashing. I am gen z and have never met or heard of anyone my age who thinks labelling calories is “toxic”. I’m pretty sure it’s also illegal to not put nutritional values on packaged foods.
Millennial are so into calories yet majority of millennial are fatter than ever. Millennials are more into aesthetic and branding and social.
It’s not toxic, it’s just a stupid mindset most millennials are.
It could be better
I’m a millennial and never heard the phrase “toxic diet culture”. What echo chamber did she get that from
It's word salad. Be careful it might become like how the word "woke" started according to Bill Burr.
She probably got it from some journalists that write clickbait articles targeting obese people to accept their unhealthy diets. I don't see how anyone would deem this as being "toxic" or a bad thing. It's not a "fat burner," it's a healthier option to pure sugar chocolate bars.
@@katlis We should get those journalists some GATSBY Chocolate!

HAAAAA HAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH gen Z generation!
I'm amazed at the speed and intellect of the Gatsby guy. He quickly understood what Mark and Lori were offering, grasped the implications of their proposal, and added a realistic variation to the deal. Very impressive!
Wow, thanks man!
They are experienced
We all just witnessed billionaires speaking fluent billionaire
great comment, I thought the exact same thing when he reacted that way. Kudos
My head almost got pop in that moment.
This is what happens when an entrepreneur is 100% confident about their brand, their business and what they need. Kudos to these guys!
I think credibility had more to do with this deal than confidence
Well this guy has a track record. So he has been through the "ringers". Thats why he knew exactly what he wanted.
I think they knew they needed help bad.
hahahah. anyone can be confident lmfao. No this is what happens when they are the people who have already made a million dollar company hahahahahahahaha
They had the credibility from their previous business. You dont see that often here…… 👀
Barbara wasn't in the episode but managed to manifest her spirit energy into daymond that made him bark that "I'm out" at the start
This is the best so far😂
You’re amazing 😂😂😂😂
hahaahaahha
😂😂😂😂😂
Nah damon is always out tho
Very interesting to see how different the negotiation dynamics are when the sharks know the entrepreneurs are legit. No waffling, no skepticism, just honest discussions of understandable positions among businesspeople.
I was looking for this comment, totally agree
Exactly ! They spoke the same language.
One of the most impressive dudes that I’ve seen on the tank! Calm, humble, educated and quick. I’m not into buying courses but if this dude sold one, I’d be interested.
Wow, thanks dude!
@@gatsbychocolate262You are amazing, man, keep up the good work. I'm not in the US but if some day, your products make it to India, you have a customer!
EASILY
Already had a huge success, knew this "commercial" would build the brand, knew 100% of 0 was 0, so they were not stingy with equity. Perfectly executed.
Not really. They had great distribution but lost $3.5m
Still need a lot of help getting the word out!
Will want to try some when I’m back stateside. I find that most fail to keep an expected taste, when not using sugar as the sweetener.
I almost threw up when she said “toxic diet culture” That’s just called being fat
What a fatphobic comment...
I'm joking
I mean, she's not wrong
It’s corporate speak. Can’t just say anything in plain English.
She doesn't want to get canceled. To many soft people nowadays
@@bradleypage1007 she is 100% wrong. What even is the point of being rich if you can't say what you want...?
Horrible take. We need to ostracize people spewing such nonsense.
Those boys were as smart if not smarter than the sharks. They had game and were quick.
the girl in red is so wrong about the toxic diet culture thing, im gen z and i’ve never heard about that in my life
She just likes to hear herself talk
Isn't that Gwyneth Paltrow? All I know she is a actress
same
Exactly lmao
@@HaroldAceveda I thought that was Richard Branson?
Shark in the red has been on tiktok way too much how is 190 calories considered toxic diet culture???
You need to learn comprehensive listening. It wasn't about the amount, it's about it being front and center while there's a martini name and a confusing logo. Just put the calories on the back with a healthy slogan on the front.
@@wolfura brother you are adding add ons she clearly said "Toxic diet culture" because of 190 calories she isn't going to notice you so put down the sword and armor 🤡
Some people become too obsessed with calories
LMAOO LITERALLY , the definition of chronically online
She’s your average Leftoid.
most respectful Damon has ever been lol. love that side of him
Its probably because they lost $3.5 million in the previous year. And if you aren't paying close enough attention it's easy to miss another fact. He said that sales were $2.5 million in the previous year and they were projected to only hit close to $2 million in the following year.
Also the fact they were willing to give away 40% of the company later on means that they didn't raise any venture capital and all of the money going into the business was their own. Daymond hates it when people come into the tank when people have raised a bunch of money.
It was a pleasant surprise in there lol
Love cubans vibe in this episode, he's like ehhh I don't need to wear a suit anymore everyone already knows I'm him 😂💯
@Oldasianguy sucks for sure..when the OGs of a show start leaving it's just not the same after that unfortunately.
It’s not just because he felt like it lol. The producers make all of the men on the show read a suit. He’s stated that before in an interview. Maybe because it’s some of his last episodes they let him wear what he wanted.
this founder is really good. one of the best consumer founders ive seen on this show tbh. impressive
Thanks a lot!
@@gatsbychocolate262 Incredible humility too, lots of lessons here, great to follow along with your next venture
gen z here... the first thing i thought when i saw the package was "oh that's nice, they aren't hiding the calories in a corner"
Wow, they appear to be really confident about the business. To compare to the other entrepreneurs not wanting to give up another 1 or 2%, these two dudes knows what they trading their equities for. You can see Mark's approval from the start.
We knew the deal we wanted before going in!
Nah, Its like he says. 100% of the current Gatsby pre shark tank is not worth much. 3,5 million lost the year before.
This is not their first rodeo. Most entrepreneurs that come on the shark tank have no previous experience structuring deals and don’t speak the deal making lingo. I’ll rewatch this episode multiple times to learn the vocabulary and deal terms.
@plannerjoy I really wouldn't take anything that happens on in the show too seriously versus actual business education. Most of it is actually negotiated after the episode behind the scene.
Latest update: The deal is still in place, but are in form of being finalized. Packages are still the same and are sold at Walmart and other big supermarkt chains. No word on whether their sales increased after their appearance on Shark Tank...
Thank you good sir
Translation: "there are no real updates on this deal except maybe the packaging being the same."
Actually the deal didn't end up going through!
@@ATalkingBadger Actually the deal didn't end up going through!
@@gatsbychocolate262 Is there any particular reason it didn’t go through?
When you want a deal and you also know what you want, you get a frigging deal. Great pitch. No hesitation, no BS. I hope they nail it their goal of 50 million.
Deal didn't end up going through but we're still around and hopefully can get the word out enough to establish ourselves this year!
@@gatsbychocolate262what is the semantics of the last part of your deal - the threshold part??? Didn’t quite get it. If you could elaborate please?
Millennial here. We're actually getting sick of toxic body positivity. Fat shaming is bad, but pretending that it's bad to try to be healthy is idiotic.
Oh so you’ve been appointed the leader? Stfu
damn Doug is hella smart and hella good. one of the best entrepreneurs/businessman/negotiator i've ever seen on Shark Tank. very logical, very reasonable, very articulate, very down to earth. incredibly impressive gentleman.
9:34 The look on his face 😂
lol he looked like he just missed out on $100m
This is probably the best shark tank pitch ever. The entrepreneurs were proven entrepreneurs with a great product, knew exactly what they wanted, didn't haggle over equity, the sharks understood this, and both parties went home feeling satisfied.

They must have told Daymond to chill on grumbling about valuations, he caught himself and then tried to backpedal by complimenting them lol
I noticed that too
He threw us a huge assist on his way out lol
I think in this situation it is because they owned Halo Top, so he gave them a lot more respect than he would treat someone lower on the totem pole. I noticed even Lori who would normally have blown up and left the deal after the "insult" still stayed in. They all seemed like they were talking to their peers rather than talking down to someone like they normally do.
@gatsbychocolate262 Wait, are you the guys from the video? Tell us more!
@@Mr-E.Why does Lori get so easily offended, it just seems irrational to leave a deal because you got emotional
One of the best negotiations I've seen on ST. These brothers are sharp and have great business acumen. Great deal for both sides. This is what it's about!
This was one of the most mutually beneficial, intellectual deals I've seen conducted on shark tank. They're totally going to make a ton of money together.
Millennial here... I want to see the calories on my food! This is not toxic diet culture. Chocolate is already an indulgence but if I can save a few calories... WHY NOT?
This was a good Shark Tank video because it provided an example of a "higher level" of deal-making and savvy on the part of both the Sharks and the Business owners. I'll re-watch it to get a concise idea of the deal that was made, especially regarding their exit strategy and "threshholds.
20% and wanted a celeb to be the face to help push sales since in todays time. Influencers are taking over. Logan Paul with prime .the rock with his brand etc. then if they can guarantee sales after a certain number they get more equity. So everyone wins when they sell the company . Halo top taught these 2 men well
Thank you!
@@vegapreferred9344 👍👍👍
@@vegapreferred9344 Thanks. I guess i was looking to understand the math that tells them they could sell at a certain threshold.
@@vegapreferred9344I still don’t get how the higher threshold is mandatory for the exit??? How will one profit from higher giveaway to the sharks for the sale and exit?
Gatsby? in my country, its a hair product
Forreal.. Thought this was going to be hair products. 😂😂
@@XionRS Forreal? In my country Lorreal is like a hair product
I thought the same thing. 🤣
Hair gel???
@@prithviraj4203 yup😆
These guys are the real deal. Very intelligent and they know their stuff
Thanks man!!
What the hell is she talking about “toxic diet culture”. I can’t imagine anyone of any age being put off by the fact that the calories are displayed on the front of the package lol
As a Millennial, I consider the mere mention of "toxic diet culture" to be toxic. Does that lady really understand my generation?
She's probably stuck on Twitter. I wouldn't be shocked if she made her money from some online social media thing
Huh??
Possibly one of the smartest entrepreneurs on the show to date. The speed and knowledge of the numbers to work out Mark and Loris offer almost instantaneously and turn it around like that.... Super impressive.. Congrats
This is by far one of the most creatively structured deals on the tank.
The other guy must be doing amazing stuff at the back of the business.
Didnt even said a word during negotiations 😂
Thanks for a new episode.
I'm enjoying my brunch.
Good on you. Tucking into my dinner.
Thanks for this comment. I'm enjoying my orange chicken.
@@josephjoe4180sounds delicious
This is my FAVORITE chocolate! I didn't know they were on Shark Tank! First I bought it for the calories, but then I started buying it for its cool. refreshing chocolate taste!
Never associated chocolate with being cool and refreshing hmm. Maybe I’ll buy it
This is so cool for us to hear!!
@@ngweso We're at Walmart!
Halo Bar. They probably can't use the name anymore but it seems obvious. Angel Bar? Jesus Bar? What else has a halo?😂
Lol hilarious public thoughts…halo bar would be it!
Might be lower in calories, but the ingredients are 🤮: Allulose, EPG (Modified Plant-Based Oil), SolubleCorn Fiber, Cocoa Processed with Alkali, Palm Kernel Oil, Sugar, Sunflower Lecithin, Natural Flavor
Yikes.
The chocolate has MCT oil, allulose, soluble corn fiber, Palm Kernal Oil, cocoa processed with alkali and EPG (a modified plant based oil). Even the cocoa is a modified version of itself. I'm all for reducing calories but I'm really concerned about using highly processed foods to get there.
dont think it'll work at the physical retail price point without processed ingredients?
Interesting evaluation
If you want to eat total crap, go for this brand.
"looking at this i knew it was a chocolate bar, but beyond that i didn't know what this was."
it's a chocolate bar.
😂😂😂
i guess she means the specific benefits / differentiators it has beyond being a chocolate bar. but its spelled out right there: its the lower calories
These guys are the first one on this show that wanted a deal and knew what they were doing
6:38 that's when you know Mark was going to give them a better deal at higher evaluation. They could probably have gotten Mark and Lori with a lower percentage.
Bro I’m gen z and love that the calories are shown because so many people in this gen are trying to be healthy
I’ve never seen a product on shark tank that I wanted IMMEDIATELY until this. Halo top is so good, when I’m dieting down I’ll literally have a pint every night and it’s 220-240 calories. A whole chocolate bar under 200 calories is a game changer
pint of ice cream every night while you're dieting... LOL
@@sma1616 do you know how weight loss works or are you just gonna look ignorant for everyone that sees your comment?
@@trevor3575 LOL I look ignorant because I’m laughing at your for eating a pint of ice cream EVERY night when you’re “dieting”? 😅🤣🤣
@@sma1616 you’re commenting about something you obviously know nothing about. Explain to me how macros work for dieting. Explain how weight is actually lost. When you can’t, I’ll laugh
@@sma1616 again since you wanna be ignorant and comment on something you know nothing about, I’ll explain it to not only you but any normal person that doesn’t know how it works but isn’t ignorant enough to comment.
One pound is equal to roughly 3,500 calories. To lose weight, you need to be in a caloric deficit. I’ll dumb it down. Say your maintenance calorie intake is 2500 calories, meaning if you eat 2500 calories a day and don’t workout or any type of exercise, you will not gain or lose weight. So to lose a pound a week, a person must eat 2000 calories a day. 500 UNDER maintenance per day. 500x7=3500. Now a whole pint that’s 240 calories and 20 grams of protein is a big serving, a ton of protein for very little calories. It’s an excellent dieting/cutting food.
If you still don’t understand, I can’t help. I can assume though you probably need a diet
That deal is bonkers! The dude knows exactly what he’s doing. Staged equity release is crazy good for Lorie and Mark
kevin knew that was a terrible deal from mark and lori lmao
cleanest presentation and smoothest negotiation and deal closing
Mainly sold at Walmart now but it’s ELEVEN DOLLARS a bar!!!
I've had it before and it's not worth $11 to be honest .... it's good but not $11 a bar good 🍫
9:19 i love how you can just tell when a shark tasted blood in the water
Dem fake forced smiles are so great every time.
Lol they really want you never not smiling
I love how the brothers leave all the fantasies behind and try to make a deal at almost any cost to save the brand. Thats how a true entrepreneur does IMO, not cherrypicking on unnecessary details.
I loved that confidence
The guy was pure blood
Thank you!
Kevins always such a good sport. He will make his offer and you can take it or leave it.
What is up with the brother though? What was the point of him been there? Not a single word
emotional support🤣
In a world where there's no people, how important are the Sharks. It's not a question.
Dark chocolate may have more calories but its the real deal and healthy in moderation. Eating an entire bar of this with fake sugar and "natural flavors" is not a healthier option.
Allulose is a natural sweetener lmao.
I was really happy for these guys and already love halo top. So cute how happy they were
now this is the definition of shark tank 🦈
Lori saying she didn't know that the last name Gatspy was a chocolate bar is a silly statement. Hershey is also a last name, and they built their brand overtime to be ubiquitous with chocolate.
Hope everyone is enjoying their lunch
Glad this deal didn't go through because the product isn't chocolate. Some concoction of chemicals I assume similar to Halo Too. Excellent business men 100% but this product isn't worth consuming.
wdym it didnt go through
Amazing how much power, money, and influence can shift within minutes
Ultra processed slop! My favorite! I hope my wife's boyfriend lets me have this! - PEANUT BUTTER MADNESS - Allulose, EPG (Modified Plant-Based Oil), Whole Milk Powder, Soluble Corn Fiber, Peanut Flour, Palm Kern Oil, Sugar, Sunflower Lecithin, Natural Flavors, Salt
Get help
He said you may not.
@@BrotherNate27 Studies show esterified propoxylated glycerol is 100% perfectly safe. Please believe in science.
@@hanleyforhire :(
Interesting way they structured the deal, wonder if that will become more common.
This guy is a crazy business guy
Wow~~ Interesting negotiation at the end
These are the best. You guys have no idea how good allulose is for you
Thank you!
Sheeeeesh!! Too much business acumen here! That dude stood on business!
Thanks!!
The first question I would have asked is "You founded Halo Top, which surely sold for TENS (if not hundreds) of millions. Why do you need MY money?"
Because rich people know it’s better to use other people’s money.
They made a GREAT DEAL. PROPS.
Can everyone please stop talking about Millennials as if there is a hive mind. Just because one part of a group has an issue with the diet culture does not mean that every Millennial does. It's no different than the so-called Greatest Generation. The broken systems, extreme debt, and massively divided country is due to the garbage that the bulk if the Greatest Generation left us. Not all of them destroyed this country, just as not all of them were great.
and why was a baby boomer talking about millennials like she knows lol
Just in time for lunch
Yogurt and fruit for me
Lori and mark together are a crazy partnership… I’d accept any damn offer from them…. As soon as he said “trigger” at the end, he had them sold. 😂
"Toxic diet culture" then makes a sexist comment about the packaging. Worst guest Shark ever!!
Love it when products have clear nutrional information but the packaging could be better
Its always peanut butter, why not almond butter.
way more expensive 😔
Its always butterfly, why not jellyfly
@@kamikaze4015 creamcheesefly
Would love to do that one day!
can someone explain to me the last negotiation, like why did he had issues with the threshold?
Did the audience disappear?
Thankfully
Doug is a beast. Dude knows exactly what he's doing.
I can't stand that the producers allow companies like this on. These guys already started/ran/sold a multimillion dollar company and are not in need of a financial help or buisness help yet their on the show. This show used to be about helping small struggling buisness owners, the people that needed the help
This show is about business and investing. It’s not the charity tank
The fact that they went from 5 to 20% possibility is beautiful
ok i wanna offer 50$ as a loan and extra...wait let me check.... 12.7$ + pizza coupon for 51%
in or out??
They're still in business, but no trace of their bars being available in Canada yet. I've seen their Halo ice cream but haven't tried it as yet. Gatsby's are 80g bars. I can literally buy 100g chocolate bars at local grocers here in my part of Canada for around $1.10 to $1.40 each. They're just not low-calorie fat-reduced ones though.
They lose 40% of the company at 50 million damn
They're better off just selling at 40 million
One of the worst deals on SharkTank
😂 and you can have 100% of a grape.
50 million in sales, not valuation. At 50 million in sales the company is worth MUCH more than that.
“I just love how this chocolate has low calories, an excellent taste, and 2 very dedicated owners. I actually bought this for my kids yesterday after school, and they loved it. For those reasons, I’m out”- Baarbra
Did he basically just say Lori isn’t good enough to be the face of the brand? Lol
No he would’ve said yes to her but like everyone they want to hear from Mark first. He’s the most known and has the most resources. But since he said he’s too big to put his face on a one thing the guy wanted him to find him a face. You can tell he just wants to make it big enough to sell the company. He would’ve accepted Lori or even Mr Wonderful’s deal eventually. Then once it grew enough he would’ve sold. That’s his plan probably.
That was a high level negotiation. Never knew some of that before. Thanks for the knowledge.
Why do we have Damon?
I like how Mark calls each and everyone of the sharks to his seat.
right...like he ant get up & go...making Lori squat down in her heels!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
This company today is worth 87 Billion Dollars thanks to Mark & Lorie
HAHA, we wish...
These guys are seasoned entrepreneurs and know what they're doing.
They should have called it Halo Top chocolate bar
I like the packaging and name, looks premium
I make Futas, I sell millions of Futas, I lose a million dollars a year.
WHo the hell would put money into a failing business?
The minute Lori walked over to Mark, you know it's done for other sharks.
These guys know what they're talking about. Very smart/wise! 100% of nothing is nothing.
Can someone explain what the heck happened at the end and why the triggers matter in the event of an exit and how that affected Mark and Lori’s offer?
