Things Take An Unexpected Turn With Back 9 Dips | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global

[pouyanbahrami]

Kevin crying from laughing at the start was so unexpected for me lmao

[Amitylite]

love how Mark Cuban always ends it on a happy note by saying "congratulation guys"

[barelytrine]

While they were being laughed at, they stood strong and fearless. They deserved that deal.

[ravelbella]

“Every one needs a chance”Lori and Robert. Those are the magic words that could change lives.

[andrewvanvelsor]

Lori seems to be a genuinely kind and amazing person. I’ve always liked her!!

[helloproxy]

For those that don't know, this company failed miserably because they failed to disclose that their product contained anchovies, an allergen. They had to recall over 100, 000 pounds of dip and it killed their company.

[reaganomics]

Barbara: “I’m not even on the panel for this episode, and for that reason I’m out.”

[TippiGordon]

David: We won't let you down.
Narrator: They let them down.

[CarlosMendez-gdzm]

Back 9 is now out of business. They didn’t label that the dip had anchovies and the USDA forced them to do a recall on over 100, 000 packages.

[alexacosta]

Lori is amazing and definitely my favorite shark, she didnt knew much about food industry but she saw the passion of the entrepreneurs and she wanted to support them and learn in the process.

[julissabarriga]

I thought it was super crazy to hear Lori say she couldn’t help get it into supermarkets knowing how much power she reigns over so many stores now

[henrypeters]

This product was actually about five years too early, before the Sharks had developed all their food catalogs.

[familystalways]

Unfortunately, the Mealey's fortunes with Back 9 Dips were short-lived. After the USDA recalled over 12, 000 pounds of the dips due to the presence of anchovies, “an undeclared allergen, ” the company went under in 2014. Unable to recover from such a devastating hit, Back 9 Dips is no more.

“We won’t let you down.”
*two hours later*

100, 000 pounds of dip recalled due to mislabeled missing ingredients on the packaging so they went out of business.

[caiosantos]

"We'll figure it out together" - Lori. That hit me. That's how great businesses are born.
I like the fact that even though Robert didn't know how to help them he still got in.

[itachi]

It’s unfortunate that they shut down. It was due to the product containing anchovies, a common allergin, but it wasn’t listed on the label or ingredients list.

[TheOneCoolNerd]

“I can’t believe I cried”
Absolutely adorable

[joeycaldarella]

How can you make 112, 000 lbs, distribute to Costco and not tell the public there is anchovies in the recipe ?!? I'm sure everyone learned a lesson from this debacle. Lori still rocks!!

[Jshwizzy]

I really appreciate rob and lori for that, even tho they went out of business they gave them a chance. Robs always seems so genuine.

[kingkaterina]

Kevin crying over blended chickens was so unexpected but also so cute 🥺
