Shark Tank is one of those shows that you could watch for hours and never get tired of. Sure, it’s hilarious to see the terribly products get totally roasted by the investors, but it’s also thrilling to see an idea that you could see every person in the US owning.
The following 31 products are so brilliantly handy and creative that you’ll be shocked that you don’t own one already. And, frankly, a little peeved that you didn’t think of it in the first place. In fact, you’ve probably got a million good ideas that could be worth million. How do you get on Shark Tank, anyways?!
This High-Quality Sponge That Cuts Through Grime
I have a personal vendetta against sponges. They rarely get the job done when it comes to stuck-on food and grease, and they start to get that horrible mildew smell after just five minutes of sitting in your sink.
Banish the stink and get your pots and pans cleaner than ever with The Original Scrub Daddy! These things are seriously heavy duty but promise not to scratch even your most delicate kitchen essentials.
These Paper Towels That Are Reusable
I go through a LOT of paper towels over the course of a day. I use them to clean every inch of my home, and I happen to be extremely clumsy, so it seems like I’m always throwing sheet after sheet into the garbage. What a waste!
That’s what make these Bambooee Reusable Bamboo Towel so ingenious. They work just as well as your favorite roll, but they’re reusable, so you don’t have to worry about killing the environment and wasting money.
This Nerd Wax That Keeps Your Glasses From Slipping
I wear reading glasses when I’m working. Or, at least, I’m supposed to. I tend to avoid wearing them because they’re constantly slipping down my nose. It’s pretty distracting, and although my eye doctor would probably be pretty irritated with me, I’d rather not wear them at all then have to deal with the slippage.
So thank you, Shark Tank, for giving me this game-changing Nerd wax. Buh-bye slippage!
These Chewable Cubes That Will Replace Your Morning Cup of Joe
The morning is a hectic time. Your alarm goes off, you hit the “snooze” button one too many times, and suddenly you realize that you only have about 15 minutes to shower, get dressed and run out the door. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to chug a cup of coffee in two seconds without scalding your throat?
Grab a few of these GO cubes instead, which are delicious chewable coffee cubes.
These Earplugs That Are Comfortable And High Quality
I travel a lot, and there’s nothing I hate more than a noisy airport. There’s something about the stress of traveling and having to navigate though 8,000 grumpy people that just pushes me to my limit.
But ever since I discovered these Vibes High Fidelity Concert Earplugs, I can be in my own little world, and completely drown off the world around me. These things are travel must-haves.
This Squatty Potty That Makes Bathroom Trips A Breeze
Look, no one likes to talk about their time in the bathroom. It’s a private time when we get to shut out the world and stare at our phones for hours, but if you have any issues “going”, it can be a hellish nightmare.
That’s where the Squatty Potty comes in. It forces you into the perfect position to make “going” 100X easier. Plus it really firms your glutes!
These Tortilla Chips With A Wild Ingredient
Tortilla chips are a delicious snack, but they rarely contain any ingredients that are actually good for you. These Chirps Cricket Flour Chips decided to change all that by including an ingredient that provides you with a major punch of protein. Oh, but there’s one catch…that ingredient is cricket flour. Which is made from crickets.
Trust me, once you try them you’ll be telling all your friends how yummy crickets are.
This All-Purpose Cleaner That’s Also All-Natural
Recently I’ve been on a big all-natural kick, and the other day I went through all my cleaning supplies and threw out anything that contains ingredients with unpronounceable names.
So I decided to try out this Better Life Natural All-Purpose Cleaner, which includes 100% natural ingredients while still being powerful enough to cut through even your toughest messes. Who needs harsh, damaging chemicals anyway?! Not you!
This Instant Fire Starter That Just Might Save Your Life
I’m not what you’d call an “outdoorsy” type person. When I go camping it’s usually because I’ve been forced to do so, and I couldn’t start a fire the traditional way to save my life.
So these InstaFire Granulated Fire Starters are made for people like me. Throw a few of them in your trunk for whenever you’re roughing it in the great outdoors and you’ll be prepared for anything.
This Spatty That Makes Sure Your Favorite Products Won’t Go To Waste

This The Spatty and Spatty Daddy Spatula Tool Set helps you get every last bit so you stop wasting money and products. The two different sizes mean you always have the perfect tool for the job.
This All-Natural Paste Deodorant That Sounds Weird But Works Wonders
Okay, so I get that the idea of a paste deodorant that you have to rub onto your pits may sound less than appealing. But this stuff is the real deal.
Not only is it made up of all natural ingredients, but it completely neutralizes odor to create a pH balanced environment, meaning you can say “buh bye” to stink all day long. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked.
This Beard King That Avoids That Disgusting Post-Shave Sink
I can always tell when my husband has shaved before I even look at his face. The bathroom is covered in tiny little hairs that are impossible to clean up, and it always turns into a fight.
Luckily for our marriage, the Beard King was invented, which catches all those annoying little hairs before they even touch the counter top. Sure, it looks a little goofy, but it’s totally worth it.
This Happy Mat That Keeps Food Off The Floor
I may not have kids myself, but I spend a lot of time with my two year old nephew, who loves nothing more than to throw his plate on the floor and fling food all over the kitchen. It was cute the first time, but now it’s just obnoxious.
This ezpz Happy Mat is a one piece silicone mat and bowl hybrid that keeps food on the table where it belongs. Rejoice, exhausted parents!
This Fancy Notebook That’s WAY More Than Just A Notebook
Old school notebooks are SO last year.

Seriously, where was this thing when I was in college?!
These Heel Protectors That Let You Walk On Grass With Ease
If you’ve ever worn high heels in the grass, you know full well how ridiculously annoying it is. Your heels are constantly sinking in, which forces you to walk like you’re in quicksand. It’s not a good look.
Thank goodness for these Solemates High Heel Protectors, which slide on over your heels and keep you above ground. These things were made for outdoor weddings or anytime you’re walking on the beach in fancy shoes.
This Travel Pillow That’s A Must For Your Next Vacay
Remember when I said that I travel a lot? I also have a complete inability to sleep on a plane, which makes those 18 hour flights pretty much torture.
That’s what makes this HoodiePillow Brand (Inflatable) Travel Hoodie Pillow such a life saver. It’s a hoodie and inflatable neck pillow in one amazing product. Just TRY not to snooze with this thing on. I dare you.
This Glasses Holder That Always Keeps Your Specs Within Reach
I don’t wear my glasses half as often as I should. I mostly need them for work, and because I’m constantly misplacing them I’ve pretty much just resigned myself to the fact that I will never wear them and my eyes will just get progressively worse every day.
But then a friend told me about this Readerest Magnetic Eyeglass Holder, which clips right onto your shirt for easy access. So now I have no excuse not to wear them.
This Back Massager That Hits All The Right Spots
Because I sit all day long, I have a million little aches and pains in my back that I can never reach on my own. So when I found out about this Q-flex Acupressure Back and Body Massage Tool, I bought it immediately.

OH WAIT! NOW YOU CAN! Thanks to this Baker’s Edge Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan. I honestly don’t know how I survived this long without this thing.
This Workout Board That Transforms Your Core
I hate working out. It’s pretty much the activity that I dread more than anything, and I make every excuse I can to avoid it. So if I’m going to actually do it, it needs to be easy. And fun.
That’s where this Simply Fit Board. It gives you an intense full body workout while someone managing to be extremely fun at the same time.
These Safe Grabs That Prevent Burnt Fingers
Let me give you a tip about baking: Using a flimsy towel as an oven mitt is not a good idea. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped the towel and ended up with horribly burnt hands and, after forgetting about my baked goods, horribly burnt cookies as well.
Invest in some of these Safe Grabs Multi-Purpose Silicone Microwave Mats instead. Your fingers will thank you.
This Reusable Food Storage Bag That Helps The Environment And Your Bank Account

These Foaming Tablets That Magically Clean Your Bottles
I drink about ten gallons of water per day, which means that my trusty water bottle is always by my side. After going nearly an entire year without washing it (I know, I know…I’m gross) I started to notice a less than fresh smell emanating from it.
Thankfully, I found out about these foaming Bottle Bright (12 Tablets), which are all natural, biodegradable, chlorine and odor free water bottle and hydration pack cleaning tablets.
This Splatter Guard That Prevents Nasty Burns

This Rapid Ramen Cooker That Gives You Delicious Noodles 10X Faster
I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a ramen fanatic. Sure, I ate it throughout college when I had no money or cooking skills, but I continue to eat it as a 30 year old with slightly more money but minimal cooking skills.
Sick of waiting for your delicious noodles? This Rapid Ramen Cooker gives you your favorite dish in a fraction of the time it normally takes.
This All-Natural Laundry Detergent Made From Soap Berries
I’ve been on a big natural cleaning kick lately. I went through all my cleaning supplies and threw out everything with unpronounceable ingredients and harsh chemicals, and afterwards was left with…well, nothing.
So I was pretty excited when I stumbled across these Eco Nuts, which are an organic laundry detergent made from all natural soap berries. Yes, soap berries exist. Now you learned something today.
This CreaClip That Finally Lets You Cut Your Own Hair
I know, I know. Your mother always told you that cutting your own hair was the worst thing you could possibly do. In fact, when I was five years old I cut my long hair into an extremely blunt bob, and was pretty much grounded until I was six years old.
But now there’s finally a way to cut your own hair without it looking like a choppy mess, thanks to this Original CreaClip.
This Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel That Cuts Drying Time In Half
I have a LOT of hair. It takes about 12 hours to dry on its own, and if I keep it wrapped in a towel it could probably stay damp for up to six months. This tends to make leaving the house in a decent amount of time a challenge.
But thanks to this Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel, my drying time is sliced in half. Plus, it makes me feel stylish and pulled together immediately after stepping out of the shower.
This Milk Snob That’s A Baby Essential

Not only can it be used as a cover when breast feeding in public, it can be an infant car seat cover, shopping cart cover, highchair cover or even a comfy blanket.
