Soy Yer-Dough Shark Tank Update – What Happened After The Show

Soy Yer-Dough Before Shark Tank

Sawyer Sparks was just a college freshman when he came up with the idea for Soy-Yer-Dough. Sawyer Sparks lives in Bloomfield, Indiana and was twenty two years old at the time that he invented Soy-Yer-Doug, which is soy-based playdough for children.

In his first year as a student, his favorite professor and her five year old child mentioned that they were allergic to wheat and wheat products. Because of this reason, the professor’s child could not play with traditional playdough, because they all contain wheat. For this reason, Sawyer Sparks decided to create a soy-based playdough, and called it Soy-Yer-Dough.

Sawyer Sparks states that they have been creating Soy-Yer-Dough in his mother’s kitchen, with the help of his mother and his girlfriend. They kneed, mix and heat up their own playdough, and do this every day. Sawyer Sparks also states that he did not create Soy-Yer-Dough just to make money, but also help the community that he grew up in.

Sawyer Sparks really wants to expand his business and open up a Soy-Yer-Dough factory in Bloomfield, Indiana and provide his community with jobs. In order to be able to do this, he needs a hefty investment from the Sharks.
