![]() The Khalifes' association with "Shark Tank" as co-founders of Surprise Ride is well-documented, including in a December 2, 2018, article, a FebruWashington Business Journal article and an August 26, 2014, Surprise Ride YouTube video about the Khalifes' appearance on the television show. The sisters had asked the "Shark Tank" panel for $110,000 in exchange for a 10% stake in their Surprise Ride company, but left the show in 2013 (according to Donna's LinkedIn profile) without a deal. We don't support any ads or claims using our likeness to sell Jolly CBD Gummies. We are the inventors of Surprise Ride, which delivers activity kits to kids in the mail that give them a break from screentime. We are in no way affiliated with Jolly CBD Gummies and never pitched this product on Shark Tank. In an email response on March 23, 2021, they said: Lead Stories contacted the Khalifes about the claims made in the post. Rosy Khalife's LinkedIn page also does not mention any association with the product in question. Neither Donna Khalife's website nor her LinkedIn page mention any association with CBD gummies.

In just a short 6 months, their product has completely disrupted the Smoking industry in the United States, and with the help of the Sharks, they are now ready to take over the world market. The sisters tell Lead Stories they are "in no way affiliated" with the CBD gummies product. It's an apparent ruse to use their celebrity to sell someone else's product. ![]() But a post falsely claims they were on "Shark Tank" to pitch CBD gummies as a stop-smoking aid. ![]() Not CBD ToutsÄid Donna and Rosy Khalife net "the biggest deal in 'Shark Tank' history" by pitching "powerful quit smoking CBD Gummies"? No, that's not true: When the Khalife sisters appeared on the ABC television program, they sought funding for the company they co-founded, Surprise Ride, a box subscription service focused on hands-on learning activities for children. ![]()
