Idiot-Proof Glassware
February 16, 2009
Thanks to the Dallas Morning News for pointing me to this terrific tale of intoxspiration.
"About two years ago, I started noticing that people carrying martini glasses were spilling their drinks," says [Renee] Williams, a full-time information technology professional.
"The glasses looked sophisticated, but they weren't functional."
So keeping consistent with the sophisticated shape of the cocktail glass, Williams added a lip around the glass and a hole for a straw and Sipatiniz were born.
Stay classy, Sipatiniz.
I don't know what to say. I don't know why you don't get more comments on your site. I think it's awesome.

Ice in a cocktail glass? Sipatiniz is breakin' all the rules!
Also: Worst. Product name. EVAR. Obviously.

Nothing says sophistication quite like sipping gin through a straw. Classy!

Speaking from experience, it's not the shape of the glass that determines spillage, it's how many chocotinis and Cosmos you've had! teeheehee!

I'm torn... while in theory I'm all in for any device that prevents cocktail spillage, this smells of the nursery. If you are only allowed blunt-end scissors, or are made to eat off paper plates using plastic utensils, then this would be the glass for you.
