In which year did Rob Law pitch the Trunki suitcase on Dragon's Den?

The story behind the answer

Rob Law pitched the Trunki suitcase on Dragon's Den in 2006.

Trunki was a ride-on children's suitcase created by designer and entrepreneur Rob Law through his company Magmatic. Law presented the product to the Dragons during the show's early years, seeking investment to support its growth.

The pitch became notable because the Dragons did not make an investment offer. Despite that televised outcome, Trunki later became a successful travel product and won recognition for its design. Its story is often used to illustrate that rejection by television investors does not necessarily predict a product's long-term performance.

The year can be confused with 2005, the year Dragon's Den first aired in Britain, or with later years when Trunki was already widely known. The original televised pitch occurred in 2006, shortly after the programme's launch.
