Shark Tank Key Art

Friday night on ABC, the Sharks are back in the Tank, ready to sink their teeth into a fresh batch of entrepreneurial dreams. From personal grooming gadgets to feline furniture, fragrant nasal diffusers to gourmet mozzarella sticks, the range of products pitched in this episode of “Shark Tank” is nothing if not diverse.

One entrepreneur hopes to revolutionize personal grooming with a handheld device, offering convenience and efficiency in one sleek package. Meanwhile, cat owners might find themselves purrfectly pleased with an innovative alternative to the standard cat perch. And for those seeking a more aromatic life, scented nasal diffusers present a new way to experience fragrance.

But perhaps the most tempting pitch of the night comes from the entrepreneurs behind gourmet mozzarella sticks that can be easily made at home. Will they manage to fry up a deal, or will the Sharks find the concept half-baked?

As always, the panel of Sharks – real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, “infomercial” king Kevin Harrington, tech innovator Robert Herjavec, fashion icon Daymond John, and Mr. Wonderful himself, Kevin O’Leary – are ready to pounce on the next big thing. “Shark Tank” Season 16, Episode 17 airs this Friday, April 18 at 8:00 PM on ABC.
