22 Biggest Shark Tank Success Stories That You Might Now Have Known About

Shark Tank. It's the place where dreams are pitched, deals are made (or heartbreakingly lost), and sometimes, just sometimes, a product emerges that's so clever, so useful, or so darn comfy that it completely takes over the world. We've all seen those episodes where you just know an idea is going to be huge, and then BAM, a few months later, it's everywhere. These aren't just fleeting fads; they're testaments to ingenuity meeting opportunity.

So, we're celebrating those brilliant sparks that got the Sharks' attention and then went on to conquer our homes, solve our weird little problems, or just make life a bit more awesome. This list is packed with those very items. You've probably nodded along recognizing a fair few – because their success is that big – but seeing them all together really highlights the incredible innovation that came out of that tank.

#1 The Most Discerning Member Of Your Household (Your Dog, Obviously) Can Now Enjoy A Tiny, Personal Lawn Indoors With A Fresh Patch Real Grass Patch For Dogs

Review: "Fresh patch has been a total lifesaver!! We live on the 4th floor of a condo and just got a puppy! Potty training would have been a complete nightmare without it! It’s been so easy to wake up in the middle of the night and bring him on the balcony to relieve himself instead of having to go alllll the way downstairs. Our Goldendoodle puppy Prince LOVES using his fresh patch! When the fresh patch died we needed a temporary solution so we bought sod from a store and it just wasn’t as convenient or fresh!! Nothing compares!" - fashpup
