Clean Bottle is Dave Mayer’s invention that he pitched on Shark Tank in Season 3. His company launched in 2011 and generated over $750,000 in sales coming into Shark Tank. Clean Bottle unscrews at both ends making it convenient to keep clean. Something Sports enthusiasts love and need.
Mayer’s marketing strategy for Clean Bottle includes a giant mascot dressed as the water bottle. His mascot 
jogged alongside the Tour De France race, attracting considerable attention and big laughs from the Sharks. Little did they know, NBA champion Bill Walton joined Dave Mayer in Shark Tank as the mascot!
