Jun 26, 2011 - Hey guys, Does anyone know a game similar to Land Grabbers? I just finished the game and wanted to play a similar one. I know one on PS3.

Kitchen Safe Before Shark Tank: David Krippendorf and Ryan Tseng of San Francisco, California came up with what they describe as a revolutionary habit-changing device known as the Kitchen Safe. David discovered that he needed something to curb the sugar cravings and help him develop some willpower when he found himself reaching for that jar of cookies or sweet treats far too often.

His wife would hide the junk food in their house but David would always find it; so Kitchen Safe was created. Kitchen Safe is a container with a built in time lock in the lid which allows one to set a timer thus not having access to whatever is inside until the timer goes off. The Kitchen Safe can be locked for as short as one minute up to as long as ten days. Kitchen Safe – the revolutionary time-locking container The initial use for the Kitchen Safe was for storing sweat treats and exercising willpower over oneself over a particular period. However, once David and Ryan developed the product, they realized it could be used for so much more.

It can be used to store remote controls for television or game consoles thus being useful for parents too. One unique aspect about this product is there is absolutely no way to override the lock until the timer reaches zero. This means the only option to get to what you have locked away is to break the kitchen safe – an expensive way to get your sweet treat fix!

Ryan goes on to explain this revolutionary device describing David as a ‘serial midnight muncher’. David aptly conveys this trait by munching on a cookie, which once again gets the sharks laughing. The duo further impresses the sharks given the amount of research they have put into what seems such a simple device. Studies have been done and psychologists have described the Kitchen Safe as a ‘commitment device’ and is scientifically proven to fight temptations. When Mark asks about there being no overrides on the device, David explains that when he was younger he used to nag his parents until they gave in to his demands. With the Kitchen Safe however, it is almost like a learning tool that teaches children there is no getting in to the sweet treats until the time is up.

David & Ryan were enthusiastic and passionate about Kitchen Safe throughout the pitch Kevin gets into figures with the duo and they explain how they have sold $300,000 in 11 months. 90% of the sales have come from their online website. Ryan then explains they have a purchase order with HSN. At this point Lori shows some interest and asks what it costs to produce and what the product retails at. The sharks show their surprise at the expensive retail price of $49 and ponder if they could get the price of manufacturing lower than $14.50. Kevin O’Leary somewhat rains on their parade with his skepticism. He refers to the Kitchen Safe repeatedly as a piece of crap resulting in David becoming very emotional and passionate about his product.

Lori interrupts Kevin by saying she will make an offer. Kevin has his final word declaring he is out. David goes on emotionally and explains this product matters to him personally. Daymond instantly responds with an offer of $100,000 for a 20% equity share in the company. Lori asks David if he could explain why the product means so much to him. David once again gets emotional about being overweight and struggling with temptations himself. Lori is touched by Ryan’s emotion to David’s emotional outburst and the sharks agree that this is a truly strong business partnership.

Lori matches Daymond’s offer of $100,000 for a 20% equity share in the company but she also has one contingency. She would like the duo and their product to be on QVC instead of HSN.

Daymond responds reminding David and Ryan of his deal with HSN in an attempt to sway them towards his offer. Things get even more interesting when guest shark and GoPro creator Nick Woodman decides to make an offer of his own. Lori and Nick agree to partner on an offer but for 30% of the business with Lori’s contingency of doing QVC. After some discussion between the sharks, Lori and Nick agree to offer $100,000 for 20% of the company to match Daymond’s offer. Nick and Lori both state that they believe in the product and in both David and Ryan. After a short period of discussion among themselves, Ryan announces that himself and David would like to take Lori and Nick’s offer. Lori and Nick, clearly delighted rush forward to embrace their new business partners and Nick quite aptly capture s the moment on his GoPro.

Kitchen Safe – Life after Shark Tank: Nick & Lori join forces and their offer is accepted Life after the shark tank has been good for David, Ryan and their product Kitchen Safe. Being known as a shark tank success story has done a lot for the brand not to mention having Lori and Nick’s expertise on marketing the product. David and Ryan have had such great feedback from the many customers that have used this product, they are now planning on expanding the range and even planning on creating an iPhone application that will allow you to control the Kitchen Safe timer. If you are interested in the YuBo lunch boxes you actually get them cheaper on amazon then other websites by We hope Kitchen Safe continues to be a big hit for David and Ryan.
