Dirty Cookie Shot Glasses Update | Shark Tank Season 13

The edible gift market is stagnant, and Shahira Marei wanted to change that. She thought of edible cookie shot glasses, perfect for milk, ice cream, sweet liquor, and any other beverage you can think of — and they make perfect gifts! Will the sharks eat this deal up during Shark Tank Season 13? We’ll find out in our Dirty Cookie update.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Dirty Cookie after Shark Tank!

Shahira Marei appeared on Shark Tank Season 13 and left with a deal from Robert Herjavec for $500,000 for 25% equity, which converts to 15% equity if the goal of $6 million in revenue is achieved. Regarding a Dirty Cookie update, the company is still in business and makes each cookie by hand. Further, Shahira is looking to expand globally, starting with e-commerce and physical retail locations in Canada.

Shark Tank Dirty Cookie Update

  • Entrepreneur: Shahira Marei
  • Business: Cookie shot glasses for all beverages
  • Ask: $500,000 for 5% equity
  • Result: $500,000 for 25% equity, converts to 15% equity if goal of $6 million in revenue is achieved
  • Shark: Robert Herjavec

Shahira Marei brought her giftable, edible shot glass company, Dirty Cookie, to Shark Tank during Season 13.

Dirty Cookie shot glasses are made of soft, chewy cookies and are compatible with most beverages. Shahira sells customizable bundles with DIY holiday and event kits on the company website.

After three years with little to no success, Shahira pivoted to direct-to-consumer sales. In 2021, Dirty Cookie had $2.6 million in sales.

Unfortunately, each shot glass is handmade, limiting the stock and driving up production costs.

While the sharks seem to like the cookies, they hone in on issues with the business. Mark Cuban is the first to weigh in with two main points.

Firstly, the business model is lacking. Second, this product competes in a huge market against other gifts and edible products. For these reasons, he goes out.

Next, Kevin O’Leary jumps in to voice his opinions on Dirty Cookie. He hates the business model and thinks the cost of goods is way too high, so he is out, as well.

Likewise, Daymond John doesn’t see enough profit potential, and the business model is dangerous. As a result, he goes out.

Robert Herjavec leaves in the same fashion. He states that Shahira is great, but the business has obvious flaws.

Lori Greiner, on the other hand, absolutely loves the concept. Despite all the business problems, she offers $250,000 as a loan with 8% interest and $250,000 for 25% equity. She has done deals with food companies like The Pizza Cupcake in the past and knows what she is doing.

Shahira tries to counter, but Robert ultimately interrupts the discussion.

Because he believes in her, Robert comes back into the deal with an offer of $500,000 for 30% equity. However, he says that if they hit their projected goal of $6 million in 2023, his equity share would drop to 15%.

As a result, Lori changes the terms of the equity portion of her offer to match. Shahira asks Robert if he would go down to 25% initial equity, which he accepts.

Shahira made a deal based on these unusual terms, but how is her company doing after the show? We’ll talk about that next in our Dirty Cookie update.

Our Dirty Cookie update research revealed that it has been featured on Food Network, Good Morning America, Today, and even Forbes! Shahira is off to a great start with coverage like that (and sales, as she reported).

Even better, some of her best repeat customers are big-name corporate clients who like to customize the shot glasses with company logos.

The Dirty Cookie website offers a variety of custom shot glass cookies and a scrumptious array of stuffed cookie flavors. Unfortunately, she’s still making each order by hand, so once she’s able to automate production, it could open up a whole new range of options.

In an interview with Tasting Table, Shahira says that her future plans include expanding globally into Canada in addition to an already established Egyptian franchise location.

With such a tasty and unique product in addition to big goals, we’re already looking forward to our next Dirty Cookie Update. We’re sure Shahira will come out on top when the cookie crumbles!
