For every shit idea like this the canadian version has 3 that are great...unlike the UK version where they drag out the ideas for so long and they are 99% shit...Think on ALL the seasons of UK ive only seen a handful of good ones
Have you ever returned bottles and get money back? Yes I have and I do it a lot of times and the machine to take the bottles back is everywhere in Finland. This idea might not be the worst idea ever, it can work if he meets the right persons
wow what a bad idea, too much product hanging around in peoples houses or thrown in the trash, and the good thing about the cardboard boxes is they insulate the pizza but also let it breathe, this plastic one would not insulate it and it would also build condensation inside giving you a cold soggy pizza.
How the fuck can an old ass man go up there and pitch this awful idea and product to these people, he doesn't even have Down Syndrome, he didn't go there as a joke, this fuckhead actually believe in this awful product. He deserved to be put down even more than what they did to him.
2:15 -- Kevin becomes Daniel Bryan for a minute, lol -- But this is just crazy, to amend something I said earlier -- I work at a pizza place and a bundle of boxes is like 13 dollars -- it equals just over two pizza paks so we get the profit pretty easily. Poor bastard don't get it :(
@riddleman65 I bet it would work in a local pizza take away in some village or small town where everyone knows everyone and you get on well with your pizza delivery guy.
It's hardly a chocolate fire guard thats all I'm saying.
He was only being stupid to try and bring it to mass market where it would never sell.
I feel bad because it's true.. the pizza boxes added to landfills EVERY day alone are so hurtful to the environment, but at the same time, I knew from the start the idea was absolutely terrible. Shame.
You know that the pitch sessions are much longer than we see on the show. So I have to wonder how much food the Dragons choke down during every taping.
Do the people who arrange the episodes tell the Dragons, "Don't have a big breakfast. We've got some entrepreneurs who are bringing food for you to taste, you'll be all set. It will save us on the kraft service truck too."
perhaps you could give a discount voucher or some other enticement/bonus if when the customer reorders if on delivery returns a washed platter.? of course this entirely relies on constant repeat business & participation from the customer so the pizzas better be gold best of the best, Or not. :-)
I work at a pizza place and I believe a pack of about 60 cardboard boxes run about $20 or so. If his thing cost $5.75 a unit, it would take over $300 to equal $20 -- Bad idea for certain!!
They MISSED out on something very important, Tradition, i LOVE ordering a pizza and receiving it in that cardboard box, that cardboard box just adds to the pizza experience, theres something about the smell of pizza in cardboard that i just beautiful, i cant imagine receiving pizza in a piece of plastic... eeewwww nasty.
Kevin:Ok you old fucked up nerd,your idea sucks shit(pulls out a gun and a 4 gallon bucket),pull out your wrinkly old stinky small cock and fill this bucket in one hour with your geek juice.
Dumb Pizza Guy:I...I can't do it,I haven't been hard in years!
4 hours later
Dumb Pizza Guy(naked,sweaty and exhausted):There,I did it,it's full of my cum.
Kevin(shoots him in the chest 4 times):Now drink your geek juice.
He wants to rid the landfills of cardboard (even though most if not all cardboard boxes are recyclable!) and put PLASTIC containers in the pizza places where the customer has to return the container after a delivery?? So, more or less, it;s like, "Okay Mr. Customer, here is your delivery. Thank you for your business at XX Pizza Store. Please return the container when you are done eating!" I wonder what kind of system it would take to keep track of all of these out there being delivered!
why not sell this on QVC for home use? i wouldn't mind to have this for my leftover frozen pizza... worth $5 ... lots of other crap sold on there nobody ever uses yet it sells
@lehighmark I think $5.7...whatever is his production cost... Which is actually insanely high for a couple plastic plates. I bet with the right contacts and a proper initial investment, he could make them for under $1 a unit.
That said, the home is definitely a much better market... But would it sell enough to be worth it?
@supersmash432:52 self explanatory.. people wont return that shit... like another user said for leftover pizza it is a good idea..imagine how it would HURT the environment using this vs recyclable boxes? and if ppl dont return this then what make more? it takes pertoleum to make that too so....
The best thing is the face of that guy, nothing gets to him, he is too stupid to take business advices from people who RUN the business. Frankly I wonder how did he got to spend 80 K on anything. Whoever he got that money from should be incapacitated, cause thats just dangerous:D
These guys were just giving this guy a dose of REAL TALK. Reality. Making him see sense.
If you wanna see RUDENESS, see the UK version of Dragon's Den. Specifically, type in "very PC epic fail" (in youtube) to see a guy get the equivalent of a watermelon shoved deep into his arse - such was the cussing he got. lmao.
And what about pick ups!? You expect people to carry this home, eat the pizza and bring it back like an hour later? And what if you RUN out of boxes? It happens!
As a person who works in Pizza places, this is a DUMB DUMB idea. Think about all the money, energy and water used transporting it to the customer and back to the store, washing it. For something to keep left overs, sure it's a good idea but think about it; a busy weekend day, a business does (at a minimum) 200 orders (which will have MULTIPLE ITEMS). This means that you need at least double or triple the amount of boxes, and you better hope the customer doesn't steal them (cont on part.2)
It is a difficult business idea. It can be used as a customer loyalty scheme. The customer may have the option to choose the plastic packaging by paying a few more dollars, and then receive a small discount on his new order every time he returns the packaging. But then again, a big pizza company would make that packaging by itself and not order it from this guy.
I'm someone who orders pizzas on a weekly basis.... although i don't always use the same vendor.... so giving back this plastic pizza plate once every few orders is debatable
The Product ITSELF is actually a good idea, but what he wants to use it for is just a bad idea. Not only could you not get it back but how would you even try to take it back, I mean, what are you going to do, deliver a Pizza to someone's else, ask them to bring out a plate, slide the Pizza of the tray and then return the pizza pack to the restraunt/ pizza shop. That just doesn't make sense. However it would be good for say, putting pizza out on the Coffee Table or bringing left-overs to someone.
@andy77718 No what the guy proposed is an even dumber idea. When the pizza is delivered you get the plastic box. The only way that box gets returned is if you order from that same pizza place and when they come to deliver you another pizza the 2nd time, they'll pick up the box from you only to give you another box that will have to be picked up on the next delivery. So if you never order a pizza from that place again...the box is yours.
This is such a stupid idea that if he continued to pursue it than he deserves/deserved to go bankrupt.
If I call a pizza place and they bring me a pizza in that, do you think that the next time I order from them, I'm going to give the thing back? Not a chance.
This is one of the most stupid ideas I have ever seen on DD.
@2SixGraders That's ridiculous, even for a 6th grader. And if you really are two 6th graders that's even worse. They are there to MAKE money, not show off that they can spend it by throwing it away on products that mathematically impossible to make money from.
@2SixGraders ...you realize that , that is worse than being such a moron in six grade. Its not a "nice try" when your name is "two six graders".. wow you're dumb
Hey buddy, I was in SIXTH grade, so ease up. I think people would understand that children in SIXTH grade don't really give a damn about anything related to grammar or spelling, including you. You don't capitalize some of the words you spell, but do I get on your case about that? Nope.
I would just let this thing go dude, there's nothing worse than a youtube comment fight that has no point.
@2SixGraders This isn't a "fight," because you don't seem to disagree that you're a moron. Noone said anything about your spelling or grammar, just your stupid ideas haha.
hahahahhahaahahahaaha wat a stupid idea. Poor guy he spent $80,000, the molding guy sure saw that this guy was an idiot and just took his money. Hey buddy, can i return my Craft Cheese Macaroni box and get a refill lol wat a crap idea.
@hoteurostud He's not even the worst one. Oil And Sand separator is just tragic, couple of non-engineers who lost their house, family and life-savings getting hosed by patent lawyers on a boring, unworkable idea. Why would a boat want to separate water from oil? What would they do with it? It's not even processed yet, so it's the useless kind of oil. The market is so specific, they had no chance. And they genuinely didn't know it till the dragons filled them in. Real sad stuff.
I understand where this guy is coming from with discarded pizza boxes, but wouldn't it just make more sense to try and develop a more biodegradable format? Spending 80,000 dollars on developing a new line of Tupperware is insane.
I love it when O'Leary gets offended by the lack of money made. I'm not mocking him for it or anything, but you'd expect people to say that with regards to any sort of moral issue, not when someone's idea is so profit-depraved.
@LordOfFreedom He is there on the show for one reason and one reason only: to make money on an investment. Kevin is no fool, he knows immediately when the cost-structure is made of fail, or the valuation was done by a maniac.
There is no room for the goody-goody stuff in Venture capital. 9 of 10 venture businesses fail, and those are the ones that drew investments to begin with. "Doing the right thing", more often than not, costs money, making a risky idea even less invest-able.
I actually think the abuse could have the opposite effect sometimes, making the person want it to work more. Sometimes I prefer James Khan's (UK Dragons Den) firm but honest approach, not like the bald dude (name?) always jumping in his chair and abusing people.
There's a reason why many countries in the world use cardboard boxes for pizza. They are way more practical than this device. However this product could be used for novelty or home storage purposes. Definitely not for delivering one of billions of pizzas daily.
Compared to the English version of Dragons Den, this show doesn't come close to the original but it still nonetheless and I like how the producers select the worst rubbish ideas to present in front of the Dragons. I guess they are going for comedic effect. Still the English Dragons are still funnier though, even when the ideas appear to be quite sensible.
If GloblWarming was real this would be an enacted idea - these bottom-rung fatcats are indicative of their higher masters - there's no bloody global warming caused by humans.
This could work if it were forced on regular delivery or take-out customers and they paid a deposit and handed it back to the restaurant or delivery guy the next time. We already do it with bottles and cans. It might not be any better for the environment now that paper boxes are recycled or composted anyway.
@notme222 Just on your last note, force is definitely necessary when dealing with garbage. An individual may decide that the most efficient thing for them is to drop their garbage where they like. You're not allowed to even do that on your own property, as fines and even imprisonment may result if neighbors complain.
eg: In the 70s, Honda invented an engine that naturally gave lower emissions but didn't use a catalytic converter. However, US law *forced* car makers to use a cat. So Americans ended up buying more of the wasteful polluting engines since the law didn't allow for the naturally clean ones.
Accountability is good. But don't force people to use your methods. If you're right people will choose it naturally.
@notme222 Places without force regarding garbage have problems, such as India having cows dying from eating too much plastic and the sick joke about Kenya being that the national flower is the plastic bag.
They have no obligation to respect anyone. A show featuring a bunch of kind-hearted billionaires who are too polite to turn down people's moronic ideas would be canceled immediately, and for good reason.
yeah I agree the dragons can be really disrespectful, but that's the business world. Personally, I would rather be ridiculed by dragons than to be broke from a bad business idea. You decide.

If I call a pizza place and they bring me a pizza in that, do you think that the next time I order from them, I'm going to give the thing back? Not a chance.
This is one of the most stupid ideas I have ever seen on DD.

There was a product that came out a while ago, where the cardboard pizza box comes with perforated lines so you can make pizza plates out of it..

For ANYONE who has a problem with the Dragons treatment, would you give him $100,000?
There you go

Can't look at it like that, $100 000 is chump change for them, but they act as though it's their life savings.

@2SixGraders Okay, if you have THAT amount of money, would you invest in it?
Also, if you're a freaking billionaire, why would you want Bozo's like this waste your time?

@2SixGraders That's ridiculous, even for a 6th grader. And if you really are two 6th graders that's even worse. They are there to MAKE money, not show off that they can spend it by throwing it away on products that mathematically impossible to make money from.

Hey buddy, I was in SIXTH grade, so ease up. I think people would understand that children in SIXTH grade don't really give a damn about anything related to grammar or spelling, including you. You don't capitalize some of the words you spell, but do I get on your case about that? Nope.
I would just let this thing go dude, there's nothing worse than a youtube comment fight that has no point.

@hoteurostud He's not even the worst one. Oil And Sand separator is just tragic, couple of non-engineers who lost their house, family and life-savings getting hosed by patent lawyers on a boring, unworkable idea. Why would a boat want to separate water from oil? What would they do with it? It's not even processed yet, so it's the useless kind of oil. The market is so specific, they had no chance. And they genuinely didn't know it till the dragons filled them in. Real sad stuff.

I understand where this guy is coming from with discarded pizza boxes, but wouldn't it just make more sense to try and develop a more biodegradable format? Spending 80,000 dollars on developing a new line of Tupperware is insane.

I love it when O'Leary gets offended by the lack of money made. I'm not mocking him for it or anything, but you'd expect people to say that with regards to any sort of moral issue, not when someone's idea is so profit-depraved.

@LordOfFreedom He is there on the show for one reason and one reason only: to make money on an investment. Kevin is no fool, he knows immediately when the cost-structure is made of fail, or the valuation was done by a maniac.
There is no room for the goody-goody stuff in Venture capital. 9 of 10 venture businesses fail, and those are the ones that drew investments to begin with. "Doing the right thing", more often than not, costs money, making a risky idea even less invest-able.

I actually think the abuse could have the opposite effect sometimes, making the person want it to work more. Sometimes I prefer James Khan's (UK Dragons Den) firm but honest approach, not like the bald dude (name?) always jumping in his chair and abusing people.

There's a reason why many countries in the world use cardboard boxes for pizza. They are way more practical than this device. However this product could be used for novelty or home storage purposes. Definitely not for delivering one of billions of pizzas daily.

Compared to the English version of Dragons Den, this show doesn't come close to the original but it still nonetheless and I like how the producers select the worst rubbish ideas to present in front of the Dragons. I guess they are going for comedic effect. Still the English Dragons are still funnier though, even when the ideas appear to be quite sensible.

This could work if it were forced on regular delivery or take-out customers and they paid a deposit and handed it back to the restaurant or delivery guy the next time. We already do it with bottles and cans. It might not be any better for the environment now that paper boxes are recycled or composted anyway.
newguy33X 2 years ago
Yes, presumably you would charge a deposit. However:
1) The fee would have to be like $5, that's what they cost.
2) An extra $5 deposit per pizza will turn away customers.
3) Many will get thrown out, or at best a recycling bin.
4) Recycling dirty secret: for emissions, recycled plastic is worse than new. It's true! The only benefit is avoiding landfills.
5) Washing sorting storing take money and energy too.
6) "if you forced people..." Efficient ideas don't need force.
Bad product
notme222 1 year ago
@notme222 Just on your last note, force is definitely necessary when dealing with garbage. An individual may decide that the most efficient thing for them is to drop their garbage where they like. You're not allowed to even do that on your own property, as fines and even imprisonment may result if neighbors complain.
newguy33X 1 year ago
@newguy33X Requiring responsibility =/= forcing behavior.
eg: In the 70s, Honda invented an engine that naturally gave lower emissions but didn't use a catalytic converter. However, US law *forced* car makers to use a cat. So Americans ended up buying more of the wasteful polluting engines since the law didn't allow for the naturally clean ones.
Accountability is good. But don't force people to use your methods. If you're right people will choose it naturally.
notme222 1 year ago
@notme222 Places without force regarding garbage have problems, such as India having cows dying from eating too much plastic and the sick joke about Kenya being that the national flower is the plastic bag.

They have no obligation to respect anyone. A show featuring a bunch of kind-hearted billionaires who are too polite to turn down people's moronic ideas would be canceled immediately, and for good reason.
