What Is the Eggmazing Egg Decorator Exactly?

Eggmazing Egg Decorator is a mess-free solution for coloring eggs.

According to their website, the invention “utilizes a patent pending design that provides a new and creative way to decorate Easter eggs with the simple touch of a colorful marker.” Kids simply place an egg into the spinning machine and decorate it by placing the marker on the edge of the egg—resulting in a festive, colorful design.

The product costs $29.99.

What Did the Sharks Think of the Innovative Egg Decorator

Kevin O’Leary thinks it’s a bit too seasonal and questions how they would make any money.

Surprisingly, they sold 10,000 units in 23 days for a total sales of $150,000. They have more than a million dollars in purchase orders. They also have a sister product: the Treemendous Ornament Decorator for Christmas.

O’Leary likes the Easter egg decorator, but doesn’t like the ornaments or the high cost. He decides, however, to offer $50,000 for 33 percent, in addition to $300,000 as a loan at 13 percent interest. He then changes it to 11 percent. Barbara Corcoran doesn’t like their Christmas idea either but offers $350,000 for 15 percent—half in cash and half as a line of credit at the lowest market interest rate. O’Leary then updates his offer to $300,000 as a loan at seven percent interest, in addition to $50,000 for 20 percent.

Lori Greiner then jumps in with an offer of $100,000 for 12.5 percent, with the remainder as a line of credit at seven percent interest. The duo says they don’t want to go above 10 percent equity. Robert Herjavec goes out because he doesn’t view it as a whole company.

Corcoran updates her offer to $350,000 at the lowest interest rate with a credit line at 10 percent, while Greiner also updates her offer to $350,000 for 10 percent equity with a $2 royalty until the interest is recouped. In addition, she will give $1 to any charity of their choosing. Mark Cuban also goes out.

Herjavec encourages them to take Corcoran’s offer due to Greiner’s royalty.

The duo ultimately accepts Greiner’s offer.
