I’m surprised Lori didn’t mention the Squatty Potty during this pitch. LOL

    Yeah, I noticed that too! Maybe she didn’t want to overdo it with the potty talk. 😂 It’s like, ‘We get it, Lori, Squatty Potty was a hit!

      It’s hard to forget when she practically shouts it from the rooftops every episode!

    I’m curious if she just didn’t see the need to make the comparison. Super Potty Trainer’s approach is quite different, focusing on kids’ fear of falling in. Maybe she thought it wasn’t necessary to bring up Squatty Potty again.

      That’s a good point.

    Maybe she’s trying to distance herself from being ‘the bathroom products shark.’ But honestly, who wouldn’t want to be associated with a product that made $175 million? 🤑

      Yeah, but who knew toilet talk could be so profitable? Squatty Potty’s sales are probably more impressive than some tech startups.

    Lori might have skipped the mention to avoid overshadowing the new product. Sometimes, highlighting past successes too much can unintentionally downplay the current pitch.

      Exactly. It’s like when a band only plays their old hits and the audience is like, ‘We get it, but what about the new stuff?

    Or maybe she just forgot.

      Classic Lori, though. Always on the hunt for the next big thing. I guess even Squatty Potty becomes just another notch on her belt after a while.

    Did anyone else think the Super Potty Trainer was more about addressing kids’ fears than the actual product itself? Like, it’s a whole different market.

      True. Squatty Potty was about adults needing to ‘sit right,’ while Super Potty Trainer is about easing kids into using the toilet. Different strokes for different folks.

    Maybe Lori didn’t mention it because Super Potty Trainer hasn’t hit the same numbers yet. It’s still relatively new compared to the Squatty Potty’s established success.

      Makes sense. You don’t want to set unrealistic expectations by comparing a newbie product to a well-established one.

    Or maybe she just didn’t want to jinx it. She’s probably got a ritual now after so many successful products

      Haha, imagine if Lori had a good luck charm she brought to every pitch. Wouldn’t put it past her.

      Right? That ad was iconic. Maybe they’re saving the theatrics for the next big potty innovation.

    Super Potty Trainer seems more niche compared to Squatty Potty. It’s like apples and oranges, even if they’re both bathroom-related.

      True, different target audiences. But hey, at least both products are ‘flush’ with success! 😂

      Oh, the Squatty Potty! That could’ve been an interesting angle, for sure. It’s always amusing to see those inventive yet quirky solutions getting airtime. What do you think—would the Squatty Potty have complemented the pitch well, or maybe even overshadowed it?
