Toygaroo is a business run by Nikki Pope. Toygaroo is the Netflix for toys. Members pay a monthly fee to get toys delivered to their door, when your child gets bored of them you can send it back and get a new one, saving the average family hundreds of dollars a year.

Wake n’ Bacon is the brainchild of Matty Sallin. When Matty was still in school he created Wake n’ Bacon for a class project, and it quickly went viral featured on major blogs and other media. Wake n’ Bacon is an alarm clock that wakes you up to the smell of cooking bacon, right beside your bed.

The world of extreme sports has a new toy, Vurtego and it’s ready to hit new heights! Brian Spencer along with his father, developed a compressed air powered pogo stick that can bounce much higher than traditional spring powered pogo sticks.

Joe Moore is hoping to hook the Sharks with his innovative product First Defense Nasal Screens. First Defense is a new take on surgical masks, instead of covering your whole face they stick to your nose creating a seal around your nostril. This should eliminate 99% of airborne particles.

Make sure you don’t miss Shark Tank this Friday at 8 PM on ABC.

Vurtego makes extreme high performance pogo sticks out of aerospace grade materials. These are not your childhood spring powered pogo stick; these pogo sticks can launch you 7 feet into the air. When you jump on the pogo stick your weight compresses the air spring, the pressure from the compressed air causes the pogo stick to reach huge heights.

The sound of an alarm clock can be a rued wake up call, but with Wake n’ Bacon you could wake up to the smell of bacon. The night before you place 2, frozen strips of bacon in the Wake n’ Bacon, and then set the alarm. 10 minutes before your alarm is set to go off, a 100-watt halogen lamp starts cooking your bacon. Not only do you wake up to the aroma of bacon but, also half your breakfast is already made.

Toygaroo is an online toy rental company that works just like Netflix. Parents will be able to order a wide range of fun and educational toys for their children (ages 0-6). You add toys to your wishlist, then the toys are delivered to you, your child plays with the toys for 30+ days, after that you can return the toys and get your next shipment. The toys are then cleaned and sanitized. Plans range from $36 to $63 per month.

We will also get a recap of Jeff Cohen’s business, Granola Gourmet. Last season Jeff asked for 175k for 25% of his 100% natural, diabetic friendly granola bar business. The Sharks turned Jeff down after they learned about his past bankruptcy.

Also, an extreme sports enthusiast introduces a hip, new product that has the Sharks hopping; and a man shows how his “Wake ‘N Bacon” device provides an aromatic morning wake-up call. And there’s an update on last season’s Granola Gourmet owner, Jeff Cohen, whom Kevin O’Leary called “radioactive.”

But the Sharks feel he is valuing his company highly and his obnoxious over-confidence could blow a deal.

Also, Kevin O’Leary is determined to seal a deal with a college student from Bloomington, Indiana who pitches a product made from soy that he concocts in his mom’s kitchen.
