Edmund Scientific claims to be very serious about science and fun, and since nothing is more un-fun than spilling a drink, they’ve invented The Incredible Spill Not, to keep the kitchen–or laboratory–clean on even your clumsiest of days.
The Incredible Spill Not is currently available on Amazon for $12.95, and bills itself as being “perfect for boats” and a “demonstration of amazing physics,” which are my two main requirements for any purchase.
The deceptively simple device uses a flexible handle to prevent lateral acceleration to the cup, and has received 5-star praise on Amazon, including from one reviewer who claims the invention is ideal for elderly users who may have less steady hands.
Considering how cheap the Spill-Not is, I suggest that we all buy one and save ourselves hours of cleaning angst. We’ll just have to come up with something else to tell people not to cry over.
