Mother’s Invention Eliminates Common Kids’ Problem

PRNewswire:

Jennifer McManigal attended dozens of parties with her two children over the years, and the same thing happened each time — her kids didn’t remember which drink belonged to them.

“At a typical child’s birthday party, I’d see kids get a soda can or juice box, take one sip, then abandon the drink only to get a new one five minutes later,” McManigal said. “Or, I’d see kids drinking from a container that didn’t belong to them. I just knew there had to be a better way to stop this cross-contamination and drink waste.”

So McManigal came up with a revolutionary idea: She created a color- coded, tear-n-wear wristband called The Drink Bandit.

The Drink Bandit is a color-coded bracelet that pulls apart to create two bands — one goes on the wrist, and the other matching colored band goes on the drink. Once in place, The Drink Bandit helps the children easily identify their own drink container. Children will no longer abandon drinks, creating waste, or drink from someone else’s container, which spreads germs.

The Drink Bandit comes in a package of 10 stretchable bracelets — 20 once pulled apart — in 10 bright colors, and is available at TheDrinkBandit.com. The bracelets are disposable, but they are easily washed with soap and water and can be reused.

McManigal aims to sell the product at large retailers, grocery stores and party supply stores. She is also developing a larger Drink Bandit version to market to the adult segment.

“It’s a common scenario,” McManigal said. “You go to a party and everyone has the same drink. A lot of people accidentally grab the wrong can, cup, or bottle. You won’t die from it, but you’d rather not sip off someone else’s drink.”
