Drink Savvy

No, it has nothing to do with Captain Jack Sparrow. It's an indiegogo crowdfunding project creating cups, straws, and glasses that change color if they come in contact with a date-rape drug. They've got about 64 hours and a fair chunk of change to go, so won't you help?

I donated a couple weeks ago; I'd like to note that they already have proof of concept and a video of a working sample cup, so this isn't just an idea, it's on its way!

Yep. I admit I think the cups are a better idea than the straws -- most people just sip at a straw without looking at it.

That's a great idea. Naturally all the usual tripods out there are bawling that it's Not Faaaairrr and this is Cock Blocking. (Uh, no, asshole, it's CRIME blocking - and the fact that you conflate the two tells me everything I need to know about your attitude about women.)

I plan to toss in a few bucks tonight. I hope this can be successfully funded.

I just saw the site. They made their goal with $242 to spare and 10 hours left.
