What the Sharks say about Snarky Tea
- Lori Greiner finds the cute and gimmicky labels are not long lasting, she is out.
- Robert Herjavec doesn’t see people buying tins of tea online, so he is out.
- Mark Cuban talks about Amazon is creating their brands to compete, and Amazon is going to crush you. He is out.
- Kevin O’Leary wants to be a 50/50 partner for the $150,000 and wants to make it a part of his wedding packages
- Bethany Frankel is making the same offer for $150,000 for fifty percent.
She asks Bethany and Kevin to consider partnering. Kevin wants fifty percent so that they have twenty-five percent each. She counters him at forty-two percent and then goes to forty-nine percent. Mark Cuban is trying to talk her out of giving up fifty percent, but she makes a deal with Kevin and Bethany.
