That's very cool. I had just tuned in to the show just before he left and LG said his stuff was better than cotton candy.
I hope the exposure brings him some business.

As a small business owner, I am fascinated by the things the sharks say to the people who come on the show. They bow out for reasons I would never have thought of.

Congratulations to him. Even if he didn't get a deal, the exposure has to be good.  |

Wow - I just looked at his web site -- and see the Maple Cotton Candy that Cubin said to sell for $2.99 (up from the then price around $1.00) is now selling for $4.95! So, not only did he take a "shark's" advice .. he doubled it!

We watched... And I liked his Facebook page! He seems like a really great young man. I really want to try out that maple cotton candy!

I saw the show as well. He is a very well-spoken young man and I hope his parents are proud of him. I think he'll do well even without a shark's help.

I watch that show religiously with my kids. He did great, even if he didn't get a deal. I thought it was nice of Cuban to give him some free advice.

no--his website is parkersmaple.com--according to google-- actually both work look for parker's real maple.. or joshua parker.. there is another company with similar name in new hampshire..he is in canton new york. It must just be that I'm accessing it from Google Australia. Every time I try parkersmaple.com the search times out and I get an error message that says "Did you mean parkermaple.com?" And when I type in parkermaple.com or click on the link in the error message it takes me to Joshua's site (I know it's the right one because it has a clip of him on Shark Tank.) I'd love to be able to get his products here. And I really want to make the Maple Lava Cake that's in the Recipes section. |
