Shark Tank Snactiv Update

Kevin Choi is a very messy snacker, a fact that often annoyed his coworker Edwin Cho. Together, they created the solution, Snactiv. It’s a chopstick-like utensil that fits between your fingers and allows you to pick up messy snacks without getting your fingers, and in turn, devices, dirty.
The soft touch, flexible finger slots are designed to adapt seamlessly to fingers of all sizes and shapes, providing a customized and ergonomic snacking experience.
Starting the pitch with a humorous powdered cheese-dusted demonstration, Kevin and Edwin immediately capture the sharks’ attention.
The sharks initially laugh at the new utensil but are surprised to learn that Snactiv already had $187,000 in sales. They also have $50,000 in international purchase orders and a utility patent for the device.
Kevin O’Leary was the first to make an offer: $200,000 and a $1 per unit royalty until he made back $1 million. He also wants 10% equity.
Before they can respond to Kevin’s offer, guest shark Kevin Hart and Lori Greiner jump in with an offer of their own. Both sharks are very excited about the simple yet impactful product.
With Kevin’s personality marketing and Lori’s QVC connections, they think they can really blow the product up.
They make a combined offer of $200,000 for 20% equity since the entrepreneurs are getting the expertise of two sharks.
They try to haggle Kevin and Lori down to 15% equity. Meanwhile, Mr. Wonderful interjects to lower his equity ask to 5% as well.
Unfortunately, his deal adjustment is hardly noticed as Lori and Kevin try to push their deal through.
With both offers still on the table, Kevin and Lori double down on the 20%. Lori says that the amount of equity will get them excited to wake up in the morning and really work to make the product a success.
After a lot of heated debate between the sharks, the entrepreneurs decide to choose Kevin and Lori’s deal.
So, did Kevin and Edwin find success after securing a deal? Find out in our Snactiv update.
Since appearing on
Currently, there are more than 1,000 positive reviews on Amazon with over 2,000 units being sold each month. The product can also be purchased directly from the Snactiv website and other online retailers.
In addition to the original Snactiv Pro in single or multipacks, they’re also selling a lighter version, the Snactiv Light. Additionally, the company is selling humorous branded t-shirts that give the appearance of a cheese dust spill.
While our Snactiv update didn’t turn up any new revenue numbers, the pair are working hard to grow the company. They’re actively promoting on social media with a target audience of gamers and exploring additional sales avenues.
It’s unclear whether they closed the deal with Kevin and Lori, but Snactiv is eating up its share of the market regardless of shark support. At this rate, our next Snactiv update is sure to be a good one!
