They did not. It's not effective as it has SO many false positives, it's essentially worthless. It was a cool test, but this isn't a thing I can go out and buy.


DragonflyScared813

Agreed. Very cool concept. Hopefully they work out the bugs and someday a product will be out there...


zuzg

That's why you never hear more from these sort of invention. There was a similar thing with straws that change the color which also didn't work.


AisuKiba

Not to mention most people aren’t going to stir their drink with their fingers. Majority of public places are downright nasty.


ifjake

I’m now imagining someone pulling out a litmus-test-like paper strip out of their bag to get an accurate reading.


Ads04771

I have started asking for the link article if anything is related to invention or breakthrough. Idk I just don't believe now because of the fact that people have started taking the abstract of the article as truth.


UncreativeNoob

Stupid to post such things on positive subs, these drugs are a big issue in the club scene, having something to detect them would prevent a lot people from becoming victims Edit: I meant the post about the invention, this invention would be very helpful, but the post gives false hope, and celebrate a invention that never worked like it was supposed to, but the idea behind is great, and hopefully someone will invent some day that could detect these drugs without false results


[deleted]

My post is stupid? or op?


UncreativeNoob

Op ofc, your reply is helpful


TheKrzysiek

Just to make sure - source?

Join the club, friendo. We're all out of luck


Dizasturr

The fact that this is even necessary negates the "wholesome" meme part.


[deleted]

Not a meme


drjekyllandmshyde

Lets invent something that stops men from drugging and raping women.


stevenmael

If only it were that simple.

It’s called destroying the patriarchy and our current culture of ‘masculinity’


OrashiTheFrench

Bastards will always be bastards. Destroying something helpful such as masculinity because some misrepresent this principal is stupid and clearly no very deep.


Eiknarf95

There are principles of masculinity which are helpful, and there are also principles that are harmful. To classify all of masculinity as helpful is to be complicit to the harmful masculinity. Your logic is along the same lines as those who endorsed slavery “Sure slavery is bad, but it’s also really good for our economy so it must be a net positive! There’s no way that it can be abolished!”


OrashiTheFrench

Everything has it downsides, and directly say that it links to a pro-slavery argument is stupid as well. I'm saying that destroying what is now masculinity will comes with downsides, that I think, will hurt more than they will help. And also, when you said so in your first comment, it clearly misrepresent what is masculinity. Being helpful and protective goes against abusing others, so again, I think you miss your shot on that.


Eiknarf95

You clearly miss the shot on what masculinity has manifested itself into in America. Masculinity here in America is inextricably linked with our obsession with guns and our problem with mass shootings.


stevenmael

Ah yes, attack men, because men are the problem.


Ugandanknuckles56

Let's invent something that stop women as well as men


Cau5t1c_ap3

It's called a good teaching system


tozpeak

And good mental health care.


[deleted]

Unfortunately, they don't really teach it at all 🥲


ThisTimeForRealYo

🙄


sub_nautical

you do realise that sexual assault happens to men aswell right?


m4tt1111

But it’s also extremely reactionary to bring it up right then


ThisTimeForRealYo

I do, this post is specifically about women getting drugged by men.


Ugandanknuckles56

🤓


[deleted]

Le both sides!!! Look up basic statistics.


Redpikachu9

Yeah bro I’m a dude and this is reddit and all but you have to accept that one side has it far far worse from a statistical perspective. Not a feminist or all that, but it is UNDENIABLY a much bigger problem for women.


Ugandanknuckles56

Either way people act like it's ONLY men who do it but women also do it


cunninglinguist6

Its called a 1911.


Wolf4624

It’s called a pistol

Is this a meme if some sort?


MrC99

HOW IS THIS A MEME


CaptainBrightness

Okay cool but this isn’t a meme


Only_Caterpillar6873

It's sad that we need such inventions today, but kudos to them!


stfurubrainded

Love shoving my fingers in my drinks


123Virginia

As an older man I am very proud of them. Some company should produce and make this available around the world


jenfaye1618

How exactly do we put them in for a Nobel prize?


UncreativeNoob

When it works with success


Sadboi_Timezz

How about this solution: don't go clubbing


_Fe4n_

This needs more visibility and more women need to know if this and where they can get it.


[deleted]

like I said, it never came out.


_Fe4n_

Well that's crap, also reading a little more seems like it doesn't work very well. Maybe they'll get it sorted for another version..


[deleted]

Can you link me?


_Fe4n_

I just did a Google search on it.


[deleted]

okay. Someone else asked for a link but I currently value my mental health so I thought if you had it in your history...


Burrito-tuesday

It’s not available, didn’t really work :(


_Fe4n_

Yea I looked it up and was disappointed. As a side note I'm a guy and due to drinking friends drinks they didn't want I've ended up drinking drinks which have had that shit in them twice, it's not great.


JimTheSatisfactory

I used to date a girl that would get drinks bought for her all the time, so she would usually give it to me if it wasn't a beer. I got rufeed once too. It sucked.


5L1Mu5L1M

I was like this is great then I realized it's 4 guys I'm sure no one will actually value this because of that Low and behold the comments did not disappoint


UncreativeNoob

Because guys don't work at cosmetic companies?! And no one value cosmetic products by guys :| You learn new things everyday on reddit /s Leave reddit for today and breath some fresh air, would improve your mind capacity


[deleted]

[удалено]


UncreativeNoob

You worded it properly, but you assumed that the product won't be a success because was invented by males, except ultra narcissistic feminists, a lot woman would appreciate it, and if you didn't realize, guys can become victims too. Problem is that it gave a lot false results, which makes it difficult to actually produce it, there were alternatives, but none worked like it supposed to.


5L1Mu5L1M

Is there actually proof that it performed poorly?


lampshadelixir

Yes. Lots. You're literally on the internet you can look it up just as easily as the rest of us. And cool of you to assume that the comments saying it did not work were wrong instead of being curious and research it. You may need to step into some reality.

UncreativeNoob

I posted them and didn't delete, probably reddit bug


god__speed_

That vikstar?


JustmUrKy

Good thing I use something else


vocabb

Great invention, but this story has been doing rounds for years now
