What is Sliimey Honey?
Slime isn't just for kids, Sliimey Honey is a testament to it. Launched in 2018 by Mark Lin, the brand focuses on creating "gourmet, high-quality slimes" in various textures, colors, and mouth-wtaering scents, Since all their slimes are made with glue, borax, and essential oils, they aren't edible.

Who is the founder of Sliimey Honey?
Mark Lin is the founder of Sliimey Honey. In a TikTok video, Lin recounted his journey of launching Sliimey Honey while he was still a high school student back in 2018. The teen borrowed $200 from his parents and began creating slime by himself and selling them. Initially, he just sold about 2 slimes per month. But when lockdown began, Lin decided to take Sliimey Honey more seriously. So, he began making TikToks of him not only making the slime but also playing with it. Soon, the TikToks began going viral. With over 800k+ followers across social media enjoying his work, Sliimey Honey became an overnight success.
What is the cost and where to buy Sliimey Honey from?
Sliimey Honey is available in several colors, flavors, and textures. With Lin releasing a new slime every Saturday, you're sure to find something you like. Currently, the slimes retail between $10.50 to $14, based on the texture and the flavor of slime you pick. You can get your very own slime from the brand's website here.
Sliimey Honey's slimes seem to be extremely popular amongst its customers, as the products have several glowing reviews on the website. A customer shared, "Items arrived quickly, the container is nice and sleek. The Slime arrived perfectly packaged, and the slime's texture was perfect! The scent smells exactly like banana and it's not too strong. The texture is a nice thick and glossy, although the more you play with it the more it seems like a glossy fluffy slime. Either way, It's a great slime that I highly recommend! Also comes with cute banana phemo slices and a big banana charm."
Where is Sliimey Honey now?
Since its launch in 2018, Sliimey Honey has become an overnight success during the lockdown. "Based in Los Angeles, we have grown to over 800K followers across social media and have sold thousands of slimes worldwide!" declared the brand. As the number of orders continue mounting each day, Lin, realized that he needed help. Having just graduated form high school, and the propset of enrolling into a college lurking over him, Lin is determined to rope in a Shark to mentor and guide him on how to grow his business.

Who will steal the deal?
While Lin's story will definitely leave the Sharks impressed, considering it's just a slime product brand, we aren't sure if any of the Sharks might be interesting in offering a deal. Although the brand's sales numbers and profit margins will ultimately be the major deciding factor for the sharks on whether to invest in the business or not. So, we will just have to wait and watch to see if the Sharks even make a deal.
