It was a bit ambiguous as to what they were supposed to reinvest in and it wasn't even clarified in the boardroom. From the task introduction you would think they were only supposed to reinvest in what was selling from their orginal pallets but on the other hand LS kept going on about 'smell what sells' so if something electrical was selling then why not invest in more electrical goods. If the sunglasses were selling why not invest in something similar like bracelets. If the nodding dogs were selling then maybe invest in other tourist gimmicks. Presumably they should be using their noses to sniff out other reinvestment opportunities as well.
Also what if nothing on the pallets had sold well. In that case it would have been up to them to reinvest in something else and they would have been penalised for being cowardly if they hadn't taken a risk.
