31 of the Best Shark Tank Inventions People Actually Love

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?!

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.

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

  via Amazon  

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!

The morning is a hectic time.

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 Instant Fire Starter That Just Might Save Your Life

This All-Natural Paste Deodorant That Sounds Weird But Works Wonders

This Happy Mat That Keeps Food Off The Floor

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.

Plus, it makes me feel stylish and pulled together immediately after stepping out of the shower.

This Milk Snob That’s A Baby Essential
