Fat Ass Fudge Shark Tank Pitch

Donna McCue put her spin on her grandmother's fudge recipe to create Fat Ass Fudge. Fat Ass Fudge is gluten-free, lactose-free, and made using goat milk.

Donna aspired to be in show business and upon each failed attempt would lift her spirits by making fudge. She named the company after what her brother used to call her: fat ass. Interesting choice but no question its memorable.

Donna had a dream about Mark last night. She is quite excited and happily reveals she is in two Whole Foods and has sales of $60k, which to the sharks is underwhelming considering Donna's lofty valuation she seeks.

The name alone is worth a million.

—Donna McCue

All the sharks find Donna enthusiastic and entertaining yet not investable. All sharks go out.

I think she's making brownies, not fudge.

—Robert Herjavec

Fat Ass Fudge After Shark Tank

Donna McCue did an interview

interview

https://www.sharktankblog.com/fudge-funny-woman-donna-mccue-interview

with Shark Tank Blog, where she said she was well-prepared for her holiday airing of Shark Tank by twiddling down her product line to five products to streamline production. Fat Ass Fudge had 50k website visitors. Donna took out a personal loan from her brother to pay for inventory and was able to pay him back on the first day after Shark Tank.

Donna was formerly drawn into show business as she caught people's attention as a comedian who would read people's palms and provide made-up futures for people, which she grew bored of and gave up in 2001.

Donna pitched for around an hour to the sharks and found herself moving a lot to the point Daymond would tell her to return to her mark and continue.
