Joe, the founder of the company, presented his new brand of customised sweets to the Dragons, which he named Tasty Mates and designed to be shared with friends. The idea of creating unique candies based on your friends' characters left most of the Dragons perplexed. However, Meaden had a problem with the brand name and found it hard to accept.

The woman in business, aged 65, spoke out saying, "I have a question. Are Mates condoms still around? Mates condoms... condoms that you can eat. They made condoms that were edible! I think." Peter Jones responded to her by saying, "Deborah, there was a brand named Mates but they were not meant to be eaten." Meaden made a quip saying, "Ah, that makes sense. I have an upset stomach. Maybe that's why."

"More Dragon's Den Updates: What's New?"

BBC reported that Touker Souleyman, who is a well-known face of Dragons' Den, was unable to comprehend the concept of a ready meal.

Touker Souleyman needed help understanding the idea of pre-made food sold in supermarkets. The wealthy investor, who is 70 years old, was uncertain about a proposal from Cook My Grub, a food delivery app that specializes in homemade, high-quality meals made-to-order. He confessed that accustomed to having his own personal chefs, the concept of supermarket ready meals was new to him.

Souleyman inquired, "Do I really have to make a decision about what to eat 24 hours before?! I usually make up my mind just an hour before."

Sara Davies attempted to clarify, "I've got something that will save you time. It's a pre-prepared meal that can easily be heated up in the microwave. It's like ordering food from a store, but you do it over the internet and it's only prepared after you've requested it." Souleyman responded by saying, "Oh! I assumed it would be professionally prepared by a chef. Maybe I'm too picky. I don't go grocery shopping and I avoid pre-made meals."

Bartlett made a humorous comment by saying, "Not all of us are fortunate enough to have our own personal chefs." Davies then expressed his amazement by saying, "It's fascinating to see how the wealthy live, isn't it?" He then gave a playful wink to the business owners.

The Dragons found the idea impressive, yet chose not to put in their money.

You can catch Dragon's Den on BBC One this Thursday at 8pm.
