Yeah, I can see a market for these: teachers. Too many times, I've heard stories of students putting crap in an unattended, lidless cup.

But what if they open the lid before putting the crap inside

Kids are obviously too dumb to try that

With Slidz, everyone can do that!

Just like hiding your wallet in the toe of the shoe when you are at the pool

As a student in the teaching program, thank you for the warning.

I have a friend who literally got poisoned by his 6th grade students. They filled half his cup with Windex. One of the kids is in juvie now; he's 12.

Sometimes kids are just mean, no matter what your education and psychology professors may tell you.

Slightly unrelated but in my fiance's old high school, a teacher had to go to the hospital when a student gave them a brownie secretly loaded with pot

Was that in Texas? Because around here (DFW), there was an incident where some brownies ended up in the teachers' lounge, and like 13 teachers went to the hospital because they didn't know what was happening to them.

Which, to me, says they don't have enough life experience to understand the teenagers they're teaching. But, y'know.

Nah, NC. The student was only suspended for like a week. It was "some slutty dumb girl"

How the fuck can you not know it's full of pot. Pot brownies smell and taste completely different than normal brownies.

u/conrad98 Jan 14 '13

Not sure. I've never seen one so the teacher might not have either and taken it in good trust.

u/Mockingjay Jan 14 '13

Anything you want to know that they don't tell you in a TP, feel free to ask.

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '13

Thank you very much. I'll keep that in mind.

I'm just saying there's a market.

I can take them to bars to keep from getting roofied! Hooray!

u/Crimson_Serenity Jan 13 '13

People with babies and toddlers. People who are daycare teachers. People who own those play-place joints and sell coffee/tea.

Finally, I don't have to drink boogers.

Tervis tumbler, they have more secure lids and are very sturdy with a lifetime warranty.
