They sell them in Harrods and Selfridges too. Just goes to show that because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s any better

Cheap sweets that are over priced.
Madness.

I doubt anyone does, the whole show is fake and she is not more a businesswoman than Karen Brady is. Its just a telly show

:joker: I don't buy sweets and I wouldn't pay 18 quid for a carbon copy either :facepalm: .

Seems kind of rich the criticism Bianca got for selling tights for 20 quid , when Sarah is selling silly sweets for 18 quid .

The name is dire too

sums up her on the apprentice really, she was dire throughout the show. She will only be remembered because of Alan hiring two people.

£5 for delivery too :umm2: so a total of £23 for a jar of ****ing sweets :umm2:

You can buy a massive tub of Swizzels from Tesco for like £4 with free delivery

:skull:

you can get most of that from poundland etc and then put them in a jar, it will be way cheaper. :joker: if this is a success then i will be surprised.

I was about to mention this.

They sell those 1kg tubs of Swizzels sweets every year around Halloween for a fraction of the price.

Did she mention is the interview stage what her revenue was and was it verified?

At least Alana's cakes are handmade and not Mr Kipling cakes put into a different box.

you wouldn't put mars etc in a box and make it £20 when you can get celebrations for £5 in supermarkets would you? so i don't understand why she is ripping her customers off :skull:

If it was freshly made like Alana's cakes then its understandable but Sarah gets her supplies from a supplier.

it's an extra two pound to personalise it lmao.

£5 for delivery as well!??? :shocked: , she's taking the royal P*ss ! :crazy::, those aren't even upmarket sweets they literally look like tuck shop sweets from a school canteen :laugh2: . People must be mad to buy a jar of cheap looking crappy sweets for that price ! .

If people are foolish enough to buy it then good on her

Get money bitch

Amy Jade

Have you seen how small the jar is too? they are literally the same weight as a box of dry cat food. Nowhere near worth £18 she must be making a huge profit off of people. Robbery really.

Crimson Dynamo
19-12-2017, 04:55 PM
i doubt anyone is buying them

i mean anyone

you can put it for sale for £1000 but that does not mean anyone will buy it

lets see a receipt that even one was sold

Amy Jade
19-12-2017, 04:56 PM
Someone could easily undercut her and still make a reasonable profit

Christ. I love sweets and thought she had some good ideas. I wouldn't pay a fiver for that though.

Alana's business puts Sarah to shame :laugh2: . Sarah looks like she went to pound land or nicked them from a school canteen :facepalm:, how embarrassing It's literally a carbon copy of every cheap kids sweets out there .

You might as well go to poundland and local shop and buy a bulk of cheap AF sweets and then put them in a random jar :laugh3: ,that's what foolish con artist Sarah has done :bored: .

That looks tiny, once Debenhams did a massive one for the same price and I bought it someone for Christmas and they got me the exact same thing https://media.tenor.com/images/6c085b9d9153467ef9a63dda8dd446bc/tenor.gif

I didn't watch this series so I have to ask ... her business plan was putting existing sweets in a jar?

Exactly I might actually start my own business doing it myself selling the same thing at half the price think I could make some nice pocket money

I actually like the name and I like the idea of the business but it is not worthy of Lord Sugar’s £250k investment. However, I did not like James’s behaviour in the board room tbh, and that would have been enough to make me hire Sarah.

I think that was a prototype and will be rolled out eventually, it is a much better idea than the sweetie jar, how much packaging will be needed to make sure that arrives safely :skull:
