Is anyone else totally bored with this series with it's constant stream of food or drink related businesses? It seems to be more of the same thing every week.
I totally agree with you I am bored rigid with food or drink pitches. Where are the imaginative inventors with wacky but interesting ideas? If its food and drink again tonight I will stop watching.

Do they really expect to be taken seriously by calling the label Fat Lad At The Back ?

The name's fine (by that, I mean it wouldn't put me off buying the item) IMO but as Piers implied, the product is just L/XL size clothing.

Small sports wear companies like that will never break through in a well established market even with that name. People look for different unique brands in normal clothing, but for sport stuff most people stick to the tried and tested brand names.

I think in sports such as football you're right but I think with "boom" sports such as running and cycling which are always attracting more and more people.. I quite liked the brand idea. I can see middle aged men who like to go out on their bike with their mates on sunday morning quite liking the brand.

I've never liked franchises on Dragons Den. It just feels like the pitch is already doomed before they even walk in the door.

If elastic ban...sorry, I mean loom bands can become a phenomenon, I suppose fancy shuttlecocks can too.

Yeah I seem to remember a keepyupy type product that was weighted too for use with feet. Not sure what it was tho. Maybe it was little weighted balls.

I remember playing with something like this in the park a few years ago. It was like a giant shuttlecock with feathers.

They remind me of the ammo that comes with this toy gun.

A walking stick with a flashing light and alarm. I've seen everything now. Danger Danger walking stick approaching.

She should have put lights at the bottom of the stick so she can see where she's going in the dark.

I couldn't believe the cheek of those " inventors" with their kicking game, 4 feathers on a weight, cost 70 pence selling for £7. 99. They must think people are idiots!

The alarm isn't even loud. Imagine the chances of anyone hearing that walking down an alley at night

Not to mention it doesn't sound alarming, excuse the pun.

I thought the dragons weren't allowed to offer more money.

I think they're allowed to offer more but not less.

And she's very silly. Wondering why she even turned up to pitch. Two decent offers.
