From the 3rd link:
The team is in the process of speaking with a large manufacturer to bring Smart Straws to the market, Baigorri said, and plan to make it “very affordable and cheap enough to dispose.”
Laudible goal, but I do wonder why other teams failed. The bulk price (on amazon) seems to be about $2.30 each, which definitely isnt super cheap.
The downside of “every drink gets a stick” is that it becomes much easier for a would-be rapist to replace the stick with a fake at the same time as inserting the drug. If you cant trust the integrity of the drink, you can’t trust the stick either.
I wonder if having a “Free drink replacement, no questions asked” policy might be easier/cheaper answer. If you think your drink was tampered with, return it to the bar for a replacement. Bar can increase their prices a bit to cover the wasted drinks.
Is this one of those “my first chemistry project” kinda things? I swear I have heard of heaps of these kind of things coming out of unis, and nothing about this seems different to all the ones from ages ago.

Buy up plebs, someone’s gonna get rich at step 2.
Its only a genocide if it comes from the third reich. Anything else is just sparkling ethnic cleansing.
Spotify are sending hundreds of millions of dollars to Rogan et al. They might not be US based, but their money is flowing that way.
