The battery is the most expensive part of a used electric car, and it's also the one you can't see. A clean interior and a fresh service stamp tell you very little about what's under the floor. The ...

Big business: Scrub Daddy has reportedly generated more than $2.9 billion in sales, while Bombas has surpassed $2.5 billion.
Not every winner got a deal: Ring and Kodiak Cakes became major success stories despite leaving Shark Tank without an investment.
Popularity doesn't guarantee value: Comparing alternatives, checking price histories, and avoiding unnecessary extras can help you save.
Who knew a smiling sponge could become a multibillion-dollar business? Or that a company selling socks could make billions while giving away millions of pairs?
A new Entertainment Weekly ranking looks at 20 of the biggest success stories from Shark Tank, including Scrub Daddy, Bombas, Ring, and Squatty Potty.
Some made their investors very rich, while others were rejected by the sharks but yet still went on to become household names.
But here's a question the TV show doesn't always answer: Are these products actually worth your money?
Let's look at seven popular Shark Tank success stories and the shopping lessons they offer.
1. Scrub Daddy: Don't pay extra for a famous face
The smiley-faced sponge has reportedly generated more than $2.9 billion in sales. Its big selling point? The material becomes firmer in cold water and softer in warm water.
Shopping tip: Before paying a premium, compare Scrub Daddy (and Scrub Mommy) with those ordinary scrub sponges. The handy holes in the sponge isnt a proprietary feature and many others have the same, making them easy to clean large utensils. The takeaway here is if you mainly need something to wipe down counters or do basic dish washing, a cheaper sponge will often do the job just fine.
2. Bombas: Think beyond the price tag
Bombas built a massive sock business around comfort and its buy-one, donate-one model.
The company has reportedly surpassed $2.5 billion in sales.
Shopping tip: Bombas socks aren't cheap, so don't assume the higher price means they'll last longer. Be sure to compare the materials, cushioning and warranty with less expensive brands.
Also, before buying a multipack, try a single pair to see whether the comfort and fit justify the extra cost of the bulk buy.
3. Ring: Watch out for the subscription
In what has become one of the biggest passes in Shark Tanks history, Ring's founder famously left the show without a deal.

Only 42% of phone companies have fully installed required technology designed to help stop fraudulent robocalls, according to a new analysis.
Although scam and unwanted calls have declined, the average reported financial loss from successful phone and text has increased.
Artificial intelligence is making it easier for scammers to impersonate trusted people and organizations, raising concerns about how consumers can protect their money.
Unwanted calls may be becoming slightly less common, but that doesn't mean consumers are out of the woods when it comes to phone .
A new report from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund finds that many phone companies still haven't fully implemented technology designed to verify callers and help prevent fraudulent calls from reaching consumers.
The report, Ringing in Our Fears 2026, examines how well phone companies are following federal requirements intended to combat robocalls. Five years after those requirements began, fewer than half of registered phone companies have completely installed the necessary technology across their networks.
Scam losses are climbing despite fewer calls
The analysis found that 4,853 of the 11,467 phone companies registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had fully implemented the required technology. The remaining 6,614 had not.
Among the 34 largest or most significant phone companies in the country, 20 had completed installation across their entire networks, 10 had installed the technology on only part of their networks, and four hadn't installed it at all.
There is some encouraging news: YouMail data cited in the report shows that scam and unwanted calls fell to about 2.1 billion per month in 2026, down from nearly 2.5 billion per month in 2025.
However, the financial consequences of successful have worsened. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) data shows that consumers who reported losing money to phone in the first half of 2026 lost an average of $3,973 per incident, an increase of nearly 8% from the same period in 2025. Average reported losses from scam text messages reached $1,960, up about 35%.
The report points to increasingly convincing that use personal information and impersonate banks or government agencies.
