Sometimes an idea is tantamount to the reason behind it. Take for example: NightCap, the scrunchie that aims to prevent drink spiking. It may look like one thing, but it’s been made for an entirely different reason. Before it debuts on ABC’s Shark Tank, keep reading below for five facts.
Details on NightCap
1) Shirah Benarde and her brother, Michael are the inventors behind NightCap. Shirah is only 18, a first year at the University of Tampa. Her brother is a grad student at Florida State University.
2) If that wasn’t impressive enough, Shirah came up with the idea at 16! She even received a patent for her product (the scrunchie). Later, she partnered with her brother to create NightCapIt LLC.
3) According to Boca Mag, it was made to “turn into” a scrunchie to increase the likelihood of people taking it with them. The actual cap for the drink is hidden inside the scrunchie. Just put the cover over your cup, and it’s got a small hole for a straw to fit.
4) It’s been featured on FOX’s Business Network, as well as USA Today. Their social media has a total of over 23,000 followers.
5) Right now, it only comes in classic black, and is available on their website. There’s individuals, a “family pack” of 4, as well as straw kit packages. With their goal of making it globally accessible, perhaps one of the sharks will be willing to bite?
Did NightCap Get a Deal on Shark Tank?
Lori Greiner was very passionate about this company/product. She offered $60k and 5% more than what they came in asking for. Lori also commented, “this needs to be in every woman’s hands.” They made a deal!
