Best Shark Tank Products, According to Amazon Reviewers

Best Shark Tank Products, According to Amazon Reviewers After 10 years, Shark Tank is still irresistible. The beloved ABC series features a panel of “sharks” who are titans in their respective industries: Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Daymond John, Robert Herjavec, Lori Greiner, and Barbara Corcoran. Budding entrepreneurs pitch them products on the spot, and the sharks debate and choose whether to invest in the companies. Part of the fun of watching Shark Tank is deciding for yourself which products click and which should be ditched. So which items that managed to survive Shark Tank do people actually love? Some of them can be found on Amazon, which has collaborated with the series to feature products it helped launch. Here are the top 10 “as seen on Shark Tank” items with the highest star ratings. Pork Barrel BBQ Seasoning, $11 View this post on Instagram Our #porkbarrelbbq All American #spicerub is starting to hit the shelves at @costco in their Midwest and Northeast stores! Stock up, spring #bbq and #grilling season is here!!! . . . . . #costco #costcofinds #seasoning #spices #bbqrub #allpurposerub A post shared by Pork Barrel BBQ (@porkbarrelbbq) on Mar 26, 2019 at 8:15am PDT The Pork Barrel BBQ “all-American” seasoning mix (with a 4.6 Amazon rating) can be used for much more than pork, though its name nods to a specific flavor. The gluten-, MSG-, and preservatives-free dry rub is handily applied to meats or fish before cooking, and according to the manufacturer, it imparts a “gourmet smoky flavor.” One customer describes the taste as “savory and earthy in a good way.” ReadeREST Magnetic Glasses Holder, $20 File this one under: Products you never knew you needed. It might not have occurred to you that your glasses should (or could) be held by magnets, but ReadeREST has found a lot of fans. The magnetic holders can be discreetly attached to a shirt so you don’t drop, lose, or scratch those precious frames and lenses. The twin pack comes with holders in stainless steel and gunmetal black. Customers raveâ€"giving it a healthy 4.6 rating on Amazonâ€"although some do note that the magnets may lose strength over time. The Mensch on a Bench, $20 The title says it all with this charming Hanukkah-centric decorative item. The titular mensch can be removed from the bench, and he comes with his own educational hardcover book. (Note: He is not life-sized, as seen above.) It was “created by a Jewish father who wanted to teach his sons about the Jewish holiday while adding new traditions to the family,” according to the product description on Amazon, where it has a 4.6 rating. Customers say kids love engaging with the toy. Move over, elf on a shelf. The Drop Stop Car Seat Gap Filler, $20 Ever dropped your phone, keys, or makeup into that annoying gap next to your car seat? We’ve (almost) all done it. If you’re the driver, it can be hazardous to root around in there, which was the inspiration for this Shark Tank item. The Drop Stop comes with a set of two fillers that help block that “annoying yet ever so dangerous gap between your car or truck seat and center console,” according to the product description. The set of two fillers should work for most driver and passenger seats, and 5,028 customers give the product a 4.6 rating on Amazon. Guardian Bike for Kids, $329 Learning how to ride a bike is a challenge for any child, but it can also make parents plenty anxious, too. The Guardian Kids Bikes Ethos, which has a 4.7 Amazon rating, is constructed with a safer break system so that kids can stop more quickly. The bike comes in a variety of stylish color options meant to please both boys and girls, as well as different speeds. It does require light assembly, though you can pay extra for “expert” assembly. Gold Rush Nugget Bucket, $110 View this post on Instagram The perfect gift for the gold prospector in your family. As Seen in ABC's hit show Shark Tank. Just scoop in dirt, pour in water and let gravity find the gold! Buy today on Amazon Prime or www.GoldRushNuggetBucket.com A post shared by Gold Rush Nugget Bucket (@goldrushnuggetbucket) on Nov 19, 2017 at 11:45am PST Transport yourself to the 19th-century California Gold Rush with the Gold Rush Nugget Bucket, which provides the tools for panning for those special little nuggets wherever they may be found.

For DAYS before the pitch in the Tank, it was just Kate and Marla running around #culvercity trying to pull everything together in time! Thank you for your creativity and ingenuity in the middle of the chaos. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do for TKS ???????? A post shared by The Kombucha Shop (@thekombuchashop) on Nov 14, 2018 at 1:41pm PST Kombucha has never been more popular, but those $3 or $4 bottles from the grocery store can quickly add up. So why not brew at home? The Kombucha Shop’s starter kit has a 4.7 rating and comes with the basics that all beginners need for their healthful home brew, including kombucha cultures, a one-gallon jar, pH strips for testing acidity, and expert assistance to help you perfect that batch. Lovepop Cherry Blossom Card, $13 Need another excuse to celebrate spring? A pretty miniature cherry blossom literally pops out of the center of this ornate card from Lovepop. It’s the brand’s most popular offering and has a 4.8 Amazon rating. One perk is that the card is blank, aside from its gorgeous 3D design, so you can customize it for any special person in your life. The Comfy Blanket Hoodie, $34 Some people make it their mission in life to be comfortable. This blanket is made for those people. The Comfy can actually pass for an item of clothingâ€"think of it as a very oversized, supremely cozy hoodie. The one-size-fits-all blanket sweatshirtâ€"which has a 4.8 rating on Amazonâ€"can be thrown in the washer and dryer. The Bottle Breacher, $32 View this post on Instagram #FanFriday What's Your Favorite Breacher and Beer? ?? A post shared by Bottlebreacher (@bottlebreacher) on Apr 12, 2019 at 6:08pm PDT There’s a certain militaristic cachet to this sleek chrome bottle opener that repurposes a machine gun bullet. But don’t worry, it’s disarmed: Bottle Breacher recycles fired chrome .50-caliber ammunition, and refashions it to help you open your beer. The openers are made in the U.S. by a veteran-owned and operated company, and some proceeds go back to active-duty and veteran nonprofit organizations. While the product only has 33 reviews on Amazon, it gets a sterling 4.9 rating, with customers raving about it as a unique gift item. We’ve included affiliate links into this article.

3 Steps To Move Ahead In Your Career - Work It Daily

3 Steps To Move Ahead In Your Career - Work It Daily In order to move ahead in your career, you have to generate a lot of energy. Sometimes you can get stagnant and out of practice at making things happen. Related: How To Get Ahead Without Becoming A Workaholic Here is a simple five-minute/three-step way to get back on track: 1. Review Your Goals Review your entertainment career goals to make sure they are clear and up-to-date. Maybe you thought you wanted to be a talent agent, but after six months on the desk of an agency power player, you changed your mind. What’s your goal now? 2. Describe Your Career Goals Create a really solid two to three sentence description of who you are and what your entertainment career goal is. This is also known as an “elevator pitch.” It’s called an elevator pitch because the time it takes to say it is supposed to be the same amount of time as a short elevator ride. You get on the elevator and there’s Bob, the guy your company just met with about a project. You want to meet him because you are dying to intern/work for his company. “Hi. My name is Megan and I’m a PR student,” you say. “I want to work in movie marketing when I graduate and I’m looking for an internship for next semester.” Or, “My name is Jeff. I just graduated from Boston University College of Communications and I’m looking for an opportunity to break into production.” With your pitch polished and ready to go, by the time those elevator doors open, you could have yourself a lead on that sought-after internship or job. 3. Introduce Yourself To Someone Now, reach out to someone you admire who doesn’t know you and introduce yourself. Don’t wait to luck into an elevator ride with Bob. Send him an e-mail, make a phone call, or go up to him at the studio commissary. Yes, you can do it. All you have to say is, “Hello, Bob. I don’t believe we’ve met.” And then lay out your elevator pitch. Bob might mumble a quick, “It’s nice to meet you” and move on to join his business associates for lunch. Or he might just tell you who to contact to talk about opportunities at his company. Note: Don’t be discouraged if nothing comes out of these first introductions. The idea is to be clear about your goals, practiced in your pitch, and ready, willing and able to reach out to make things happen in your career.
