BoomBoom Inhalers Update | Shark Tank Season 10

While traveling through Thailand, Chelsea Pinto and John Pinto saw locals using nasal inhalers to stay alert in the heat and busy streets. In that moment, they realized there was nothing like it back home for people needing a quick mental boost without caffeine or sugar. That experience sparked the idea for BoomBoom, a portable aromatherapy stick designed to refresh and re-energize the mind, naturally. But will this burst of freshness be enough to win over the sharks? Let’s find out in our BoomBoom update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to BoomBoom after Shark Tank.

John and Chelsea entered Shark Tank Season 10, seeking $300,000 for 10% equity in their nasal inhaler brand. Unfortunately, after their pitch, they couldn’t secure a deal with any of the sharks.

In terms of a BoomBoom update, the company capitalized on its Shark Tank exposure by boosting online sales to six months’ worth in a single night. Furthermore, the company expanded into over 13,000 retail locations and raised funds through a successful Wefunder campaign.

Shark Tank BoomBoom Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: John and Chelsea Pinto
• Business: Nasal inhalers
• Ask: $300,000 for 10% equity
• Result: No deal
• Sharks: None

John and Chelsea Pinto entered Shark Tank to pitch their line of natural nasal inhalers.

They explained that while lips have chapstick and eyes have drops, there aren’t many everyday wellness products made specifically for the nose. That’s why they created BoomBoom.

The product is a nasal stick designed for refreshment and rejuvenation, not for congestion or allergies like traditional inhalers.

Each stick contains essential oils, menthol, and other natural scents that deliver a cool, tingly sensation.

According to John, just one inhale gives you a burst of energy that “makes you feel alive.”

BoomBoom comes in five scents: Berry Breeze, Tropical Rush, Cinnamint, Wintermint, and Melondrop.

After explaining the concept, John and Chelsea handed out samples. The sharks were eager to try them.

Next, the couple broke down their numbers. In the past year, BoomBoom made $750,000 in sales and was on track to pass $1 million by the end of the year.

The sharks were impressed. They asked how the sales were coming in. John explained that most sales came directly through their website and Amazon.

A significant portion also came from wholesale orders. Each stick costs just $0.70 to make, and it retails for $7.95.

Robert Herjavec remarked that their margins must be great. John confirmed a net profit of $120,000, after paying themselves a salary.

However, things took a turn when John revealed that the wholesale price is $1.50, more than double the cost of production.

This raised concerns among the sharks about margin consistency and long-term profitability.

Kevin O’Leary didn’t like the company’s valuation, so he was the first to drop out.

Lori Greiner liked the concept but saw it as more of a novelty or impulse buy. She didn’t think it would have long-term repeat customers, so she stepped out too.

Guest shark Charles Barkley enjoyed the idea but admitted he wouldn’t use it regularly. That led him to pass as well.

Mark Cuban followed, saying the profit margins weren’t strong enough to justify an investment.

That left only Robert, who still saw potential. He made an offer of $300,000 for 36% equity.

John and Chelsea tried to negotiate, but they couldn’t reach an agreement. In the end, they declined Robert’s offer and left without a deal.

What happened next? Let’s check in on our BoomBoom update to find out if walking away was the right move.
