The company appears to have been prepared for either outcome of the election, with “Trumptatoes” and “Clintatoes” already in the pipeline. It’s too soon to tell just how popular the Trump Potato will be, but if it turns out to be as much of an internet hit as these decorated bananas, Potato Parcel could be on the winning end of this election. You can also add a personal note to the potato, just in case Trump’s bright, shouting face isn’t enough of a message. If you have a spare $14.99 lying around and want to make or ruin someone’s day with an angry potato, Potato Parcel will slap a Trump sticker on a tuber and mail it anywhere in the U.S. Potato Parcel, a website known for slinging potatoes that carry customized messages, now offers a potato that features both a message and Trump’s face (ego not included). Their sauces are still available in more than 100 Walmart locations, a handful of ShopRite stores, and the Lulu Bang website.įor more Shark Tank Season 8 Episode 6 company updates, be sure to check the links below:įor more on Shark Tank Season 8, be sure to check out our Season 8 Products page.In this, our collective post-election haze, one entrepreneurial site is capitalizing on both the cheer and loathing surrounding president-elect Donald Trump. However, as it turns out, the restaurant has since closed down.īut, Lulu Bang is still very much operational with their sauce manufacturing and select catering. In January 2017, the Beard sisters started a pop-up restaurant named Lulu Bang Burgers & Wangs at the Common Table in Philadelphia with signature dishes themed around the four sauces. As a matter of fact, just 72 hours after Lulu Bang appeared on Shark Tank in 2016, the company sold $60,000 worth of product and the orders have kept rolling in since. Despite failing to secure a deal on Shark Tank, the Beard sisters are doing relatively well for themselves. With no deal secured, you’d think that our Lulu Bang update would be short, but you’d be wrong. Meanwhile, Lori Greiner didn’t think that the product was unique enough, so she backed out followed by Mark Cuban. Robert Herjavec soon followed suit, saying that he found the packaging quite confusing. So, despite loving the sauce, both Kevin and Daymond John were the first to go out. Many of them agreed that it would be too difficult to sell the sauces online as well. Although the sauce had $45,000 worth of sales and was in 170 Walmart stores, the sharks were ultimately unimpressed with the low sales numbers. Kevin O’Leary, for example, pointed out that the business did not have an effective distribution technology. However, despite a successful taste test, as the Beard sisters talked more about how their business worked, the sharks quickly noticed a few areas of concern. Put a large frying pan over a high heat, then brown the chicken on both sides. 2 Spray the chicken with a little oil and sprinkle with the paprika and cumin. Steam the potatoes for 5 min or until just tender. Quickly after giving out the samples to all the sharks, they couldn’t get enough of it. 1 Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. The enterprising sisters started their pitch to the sharks on the right note by giving the sharks a taste test. However, that wasn’t the end of the story for Jorrae and Kelly, here’s a Lulu Bang update to explain what happened to the saucy sisters. Unfortunately for the entrepreneurial female duo, a deal was not meant to be. Coming in four different spicy flavors, the Beard sisters sought a $150,000 investment and were willing to give up 10% equity to get a shark on their team. Philadelphia natives Jorrae and Kelly Beard entered the Shark Tank in October 2016 during Season 8 to pitch Jorrae’s Lulu Bang, a food business built on the backs of the sister’s barbeque and marinade sauces.
