Never Judge a Book by Its Cover: Shark Tank’s Funniest $250K Pitch That Mark Herjavec Called “Full of Bs” Is Now Making $13.9 Million a Year

When this wacky $250K pitch hit the Shark Tank stage, even Robert Herjavec couldn’t help but call it “full of Bs.” And well, it kind of was, on the surface. The idea sounded more like a gag gift than a legit business plan. But plot twist: that same product’s now raking in a crazy $13.9M a year.
It’s the classic “don’t judge a pitch by its punchline” story. Turns out, behind all the laughs was a money-making machine no one saw coming.
