'Shark Tank' Season 15: Viewers call out Kevin O'Leary for rushing StormBag founders as Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner steal deal

StormBag was designed by father-son duo Maurice and Miles Huffman

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sandbags are a traditional strategy to safeguard your property during a storm or flood. Shoveling sand, on the other hand, can take hours. StormBags are an excellent option since all that is needed is a small amount of water, and you'll have up to 35 pounds of weight to withstand severe weather.

The product was designed by Maurice and Miles Huffman, who landed a deal on 'Shark Tank' with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner. They did, however, have another Shark in the running for the deal, and fans have appropriately called him out.

Maurice and Miles made an emotional appearance in Season 15 of 'Shark Tank'. Kevin O'Leary, on the other hand, had no time for sob tales and was eager to get down to work. Daniel Lubetzky, however, wanted to come across as a good man. The ambitious duo arrived hoping to raise $200,000 in exchange for a 10% stock holding.

The Sharks expressed their sympathies for the two, and their tale gained traction on Twitter, with supporters willing to rally behind them. The transaction with Mark and Lori is expected to conclude within three months, but viewers on the internet, notably Guest Shark Daniel, have not failed to take note of Kevin O'Leary's shenanigans.

On X, Daniel wrote, "Mr. Wonderful @kevinolearytv cracks me up. Only he could pivot from a touching family moment to cold hard business in seconds! Some may criticize but I really respect that he is consistent and authentic about accountability and results."

While other viewers wrote, "Kevin, you’re out because you’re not interested in the product. STFU and let the other sharks and entrepreneurs make a decision. I hate how he was rushing them."

Another person added, "Good choice with Lori and Mark. #SharkTank. I don't understand why Kevin wasn't interested."

A fourth viewer noted, "The Storm Bags guys deserved a way better offer that what they got. The Sharks are often way too greedy."

On Reddit, viewers confused by the Sharks' deliberation also wrote, "Kevin just said $5 was too much and now Mark wants to charge $10?"
