islandgirl Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Watch Man Candle Video On Shark Tank - Click HereDid anyone see this? They shot him down big time. Now this is not the "Mandles" company. But a different one called "Man Candles" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 $53,000 in sales is a good start! It's a novelty so I bet he could make it. Should try getting into Spencer Gifts or someplace like that.Fart scent...gross; but I believe him when he says it is his #1 seller...people are weird.

TexasBrat Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I saw it too. At one point I thought it was the person from this forum but it wasn't. I wonder what fo he uses for fart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 At first I thought he may have used The Monkey Fart scent, but when they all smelled it they made sour faces!!! LMAO...I bet if it was marketed right, Spencer Gifts like you said NaturallyTru, he could go far.From what I saw, his candle looked good and the wick was centered!! LOL I wonder how it burned and how the HT was..He had a great personality!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciS Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I saw him too. I didn't figure they would go for that company. To me it seems like a one hit wonder; you buy a couple (probably as a gag gift) with no repeat business. The sharks looked at him like he was crazy to have quit his job to make candles-lol.

LuminousBoutique Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 his cheesy pitch immediately turned me off... egh... I agree with Traci, I see them selling as gag gifts but I truly dont see anyone buying them to burn them in their house over and over. I showed it to my husband and he goes "uh... no. I prefer stuff that smells good even if its not "manly"If he sold the idea to some place like spencers he could do well.. but those fragrances are available to all of us. He says he made 53,000 last year- wonder how much he charges per candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I want to see the whole thing. The you tube just gives me a preview.I think Candlegirl is the forum member that was supposed to be on Shark Tank. At least she was in the process of being interviewed. But that was last year and we haven't heard from her. Don't see her post anymore. Thought she was also the one that sold her candle biz but maybe that was Candlelady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Your right Candybee.. It is Candlegrl that is going to be on it. She has done the entire interview process and is about ready to go. That was at then end of Nov. of last year. So hopefully we will see her sometime this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciS Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I emailed her a couple months ago to see if she would be on and she told me it would be the next season. Had some stuff come up and they decided to hold her for a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlegrl Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Here I am Yes I was interviewed! My husband who works in San Francisco was in the San Bruno gas explosion and I almost lost him and did loose the home Sept 9th. Since the explosion I took care of him for six months. He is now back to work! I hope to be on next season we will see! Edited May 9, 2011 by candlegrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see the show with you on it! Just don't take any offers from Mr. Nasty!!! Any of the others would be gold but not that nasty sleazy devil. Sorry don't remember his name but I'm sure you know which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
