Will These Light-Up Disposable Plastic Cups Light Up The Den?! | Dragons' Den 

Working at a recycling plant I can let y’all know, stuff like this is stacked in containers for years cause it’s a waste of time to break them, remove the electronics and grind 1 gram of plastic.

Seemed like a humble chap, glad it turned out well

a rare pitch where you know he does not need £40,000, but also you do know why he is in the Den. That money is safe, he can buy them out at any point.

these are the worst form of single-use plastic. he has made single-use plastic un-recyclable. no recycling centre will spend time removing the electronics from the bottoms of these. This is irresponsible.

Damn how did I forget these dragons used to be miserable people

Disposing of these plastics is the biggest problem

Loved Debra's unhappy face after Peter disagreed with their comments and made his offer

Good luck selling disposable plastic in Europe

I still don't understand, why an entrepreneur still choose to let go 30% instead of initial 8% for such amount, when ur already existing business can generate it in a year or so y don't dey reinvest and partner with retailer ?

Peter: 你好吗？ The other dragons: Geeeeek.

I guess this is why I'm not a dragon. I can not believe this was even thought of.

There is a reason this simple idea has not been implemented. Impractical.

James is cool and all, but I would also choose Peter. Not that I would invest in a product like this in the first place 😂

About 20 years old this clip

Knowing what is happening in Congo for batteries..absolutely not

Peter sees opportunity while the others don't

RU-vid should really update their terms and policies to state that constantly reuploading the same videos to a channel is banned, i know for i fact this video has be uploaded here at least 4 times now.

I had these for a party for my mums 60th... they were so impressive to my guests 😂😂

It's ridiculous enough to have one time use cups. To add a one time use battery is absurd/immoral.

James went greedy there and it worked against him. 😂

Walking to the wall is so weird 😭

This is not a bright idea 😂

U wan DVD?

I always find it funny when they offer like 8 percent of their company and expect all this extra help from the dragons AFTER they invest the money...basically asking them to help build your dream while only getting a tiny slice and PAYING to help you...

R.I.P Ming Yuin

Theo has gone even further in my estimation ❤

Fun little product, normal valueation for once and healthy figures. Happy to see a deal. My guess is that Peter had extra interest in the factory area in China.

This was filmed before 2007 but reposted here in 2024

He looks like Matt Damon :D

Im having fray bentos pie and chips for tea with 5 slices of bread

when was this filmed? they keep talking about 2006 and 2008 lmao

That is COOL !!

Pretty cool product but not seen these anywhere, must not of done so well

Very cool product

I got so many off these 😂😂😂😂 I got glow in the dark shot glasses to what a waste of money

It’s a party scene/festival thing

"Hello, my name is Minion"

Does this company still exist?

Plastic fantastic

Why light it up if its disposable?

That lady always do not invest

That was a dumb last question, who wouldn’t after success

Peter invest in your other business Jones.

Is he Mr Ping's VA?

Plastics are the big problem

Flooot … 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think some of the dragons were really unnecessarily harsh. They had no reason to condemn the product. I’m glad Peter saw through the pettiness of the other dragons

Before Deborah became green 😅

Why did he go for Peter, the one that wanted to take a look into the lease conflict?

more chinese plastic products please!

Why single use tho? What a waste

What's up with these bots in the comments

So Duncan is out because the factory pays its rent. Theo is out because batteries can’t be recycled. Deborah is out because… someone else did something somewhat similar. Absolute knobs.

go see what companies the dragons own an ask yourself if they care about enviroment lol

If the inventor would like to contact me regarding the single use, i can help you make lots more lovely money even if your product stalled . Let me know. Kind Regards

I not rike this, I think it is Ming-in!

Fugs den innit

I don't understand why this would be an investment. The patent he has on this can't be that good if there are already competitors doing it, looking very similar. I think Deb hit it on the head, that there were already competition doing very similar things at the time. I'm surprised they didn't ask more questions about the patent itself, or maybe they just didn't show it.

I don’t think any of them should endorse a product that is so environmentally harmful

People complaining about single use plastic with electronics - what about disposable vapes?

For all those who care about the environment this video is from the times when no one did. Have you seen the dragons? They look infinitely younger than they do now. Bet you two of the dragons on the newest season were in elementary school when this was filmed.

ecologically awful......

He is a scientist dragons have no chance to outsmart him maybe next time...

I know what these products need - a wireless charging dock (for restaurants, with multiple docks built in) Make them reusable and rechargeable + Waterproof If possible, with water resistance in mind, a replaceable battery would also be a great feature

Ming you in jenny I'm out

Incoming tree huggers

Your videos are so creative i find them very satisfying and reassuring. You are talented

Why do British women love Black & Irish men?

I thought this pitch was going to go the Wong way but he pulled it back in the end 👍

Do the people complaining about plastic understand these clips are from a tv show and not filmed recently?

What's he saying? Something about fried rice ?

dont invest in destroying the earth , ffs , this is a disgrace.

I fking hate when they pretend to be so ecologically concerned. A trip with their yachts or jets will pollute x100 more than the few tons of plastic waste.

pitched valuation: £500,000 peter’s offer/final valuation: £133,333 (declined counter-offer valuation: £160,000) anytime I watch one of these pitches, the first thing I do is punch their numbers into my calculator to figure out the entrepreneur’s proposed valuation. the quickest way to do it is cross-multiplication - you multiply the amount requested by 100, and then divide it by the percentage of equity on offer. so for this pitch, it would be: amt requested - £40,000 equity offered - 8% 40,000✖️100 🟰 4,000,000 4,000,000➗8 🟰 500,000 and so the entrepreneur’s proposal values his business at £500K. peter’s offer for 30% equity values it at ~£133K. if peter had accepted the 25% counter-offer, it would have effectively valued the business at £160,000. :)

Without the cameras nobody has a problem with recycling issues or owning the business park... greedy dragons 😂🫏🫏🫏🫏🫏

The other 4 Dragons made a heck of a MISTAKE not investing in this man. These glasses are ALL OVER the internet for sale.
