That's now 4 questions. You need to start a poll.

Levi Roots' Reggae Reggae sauce was on it, and now its available all over the place - Subway even have a Reggae Reggae sandwich...

There was a program on a few months ago showing a few of the businesses they have invested in are doing ok.

I seem to recall reading in the paper about one of the guys who was on there. Can't remember which dragon invested in him.

I think he signed a deal well in the millions.

Something to do with a junction box or something to do with electrics and cables, it was a while ago

The inventor of i-teddy just signed a very large deal

[J0no]

They get paid to be on the show...

That's what advertising to 9 million people gets you. Dragons' Den is almost a self fulfilling prophecy in that regard. At least when the product is half decent.

I believe i-teddy and Igloo (frozen food transportation) have also done very well.

It's great.

Tesco sold out of his love apple sauce and first sauce still going strong.

Perhaps, but it's a dagger in the gut if they slate you.

I think they did a show or two about some of the success stories... SO I guess yes, they do make money, or else they wouldn't do the show (though of course for some of them I rather think they'd pay to be on the show and happily lose a million or so a series, as they are fame hunters).
