Shark Tank: Gatsby Chocolate’s $500k Deal and Where to Buy Their Irresistible Chocolates
If you’re a fan of indulging in sweet treats but dread the calorie count, Gatsby Chocolate might just become your new best friend. This innovative low-calorie chocolate brand recently took center stage on the 15th season premiere of “Shark Tank,” and the world is taking notice.
With co-founders Doug Bouton, who was also behind the successful Halo Top ice cream brand, and his brother Ryan Bouton at the helm, Gatsby Chocolate is poised to revolutionize the chocolate industry.
A Sweet Pitch in the Shark Tank
On the latest episode of “Shark Tank,” Doug and Ryan faced a formidable panel of sharks, including Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Daymond John, and special guest Shark Candance Nelson. The brothers came seeking a $500,000 investment in exchange for 5% of their company.
- Lori and Mark put forward an intriguing offer: $250,000 along with a $250,000 loan at 20% interest.
- Additionally, the sharks wanted an escalating interest rate structure that would rise to 30% at $10 million in sales and 40% at $20 million in sales.
Low-Calorie Delight
What truly sets Gatsby Chocolate apart from its competitors is its remarkably low-calorie count. For many chocolate lovers, the fear of piling on extra pounds can be a deterrent. However, these chocolate bars aim to alleviate those concerns. According to the brand, it boasts the lowest calorie count of any chocolate available, with roughly half the calories of major brands.
- With each Gatsby Chocolate bar divided into three servings, you’re looking at a mere 60 to 70 calories per 30 grams of chocolate.
- In comparison, a 30g Lily’s Creamy Milk Chocolate bar has 130 calories per serving.
- Meanwhile, a 4.8-ounce Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel bar racks up a whopping 680 calories. By these calculations, you could enjoy an entire Gatsby Chocolate bar for roughly the same calorie intake as a single serving of comparable brands.
