Winner of Dr. Toy’s Best Classic 2014 Toy Award in the category of Creativity, Construction, Educational Value and Activity Play.
Each kit comes with a manual that includes 17 fort designs (rockets, spaceships, pirate ships, castles, etc.) and 100 snap-on fabric clips to attach sheets or blankets to the fort.
Winedoctor – Wine Stoppers
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $250,000 for 10% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Chase Hoyt and Bob Hoyt
Winedoctor kit solo keeps good wine from going bad. The solo includes 1 grip-touch pump that works with the intell-stopper to remove the precise amount of air from wine bottles, ensuring that even days later, the wine will be as fresh and fragrant as when it was opened.
The intelli-stopper is a new high-tech “cork” that virtually eliminates wine losing flavor and aroma in unfinished bottles for over a week. The winedoctor kit solo allows wines to store flat or standing to maximize chilling and storage space.
The problem with current wine preservers is that there is no indication if enough air has been pumped out of the bottle.
