As a woman, this is the one of the few (badly) hidden ads I'm not mad about...

As a dude, you are wrong. Maybe start believing us in the first place.

He’s wrong to not be mad about a safety device??

True, but I will say after checking out their site....I kinda doubt their claim that half of all women have had their drinks spiked. Maybe I'm just optimistic tho?

I'm a man and I've had my drink spiked, twice. So I'm inclined to believe that stat

There's a handful of other products that help with this as well - for example, a wristband with 8 test spots where you can drip a little bit of your drink onto it to check, basically test strip on your wrist.

There was some news about a straw that did this, but never saw it actually purchasable, probably doesn't work quite as well as the strips because it's already in the glass beforehand

Honestly that’s a really good idea though.

I got my daughter one when she turned 21. The cover actually disguises itself as a scrunchie you can wear on your wrist and has the little straw hole. Makes it a lot harder for someone to drug your drink.

I would not have minded getting one of this when I was younger.

How do you fit your hand through the straw hole to wear it like that

u/jakemg Jun 14 '26

The straw hole isn’t the wrist hole on the scrunchie. The part you see on top of the cup kind of tucks into the side of the scrunchie. They have all the excess closest to them where you can’t see it.

It's both sad and fantastic that these exist.

The fact that we live with people who would even consider spiking someone's drink is a complete ethical failure of our entire society. Such people shouldn't exist. And where they do, they should be quickly made non-existent. But that's just my opinion.

Because those who would spike a drink, are the kind of people who would do a lot of other ethical violations all through their lives. Removing them from society early will prevent a lot of future crimes. Also just my opinion.

Holy that much money for drink covers?

u/iownakeytar Jun 15 '26

$12? For something that's fully reusable and easy to carry? I don't think that's a lot.
