Despite a setback on national TV, a Boynton Beach couple continues its quest to make snacking sexy
If you’re thrown into a tank of sharks, you might just get bit. Boynton Beach couple Jennifer and Michael Gallagher discovered this in fall 2020, when they appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank” to pitch His & Her Bar, their aphrodisiac nutrition supplement.
After performing an a cappella rap Michael wrote about the bar’s libidinous benefits (“super soaker on the palate, call it wet wet / fall in love with the flavor, so consequent”), the Gallaghers painfully suffered through what amounted to a summary dismissal. With just 500 bars sold at the time, totaling $2,000 in revenue, the Gallaghers found themselves small fry in the shark tank, leaving the Las Vegas studio empty-handed. Michael even broke down and wept on camera, but his emotional revelation of personal health and employment crises failed to persuade the investors.
