Take some ping-pong balls and put them inside a hair scrunchie and presto, you could have Benzeni, a “floating coaster” that may wrap round any beverage so you may take it into the pool. Whether or not it’s as slim as a seltzer can or as fats as an insulated mug, Benzeni can adapt, courtesy of its stretchy physique that simply transforms to deal with no matter it’s surrounding. And because it’s adjustable, you may transfer it up and down as wanted with a view to preserve your drink in stability because it slowly (or quickly) empties. The coasters will also be used to drift candles (when positioned inside a cup of some form) or tied collectively for pool beer pong (see image above).
How nicely does it work? Nicely, with cans and smaller glassware, fairly nicely, although most objects are likely to float fairly near the water line. With cans it’s not an issue, however an open-mouth cup or glass is susceptible to gathering splashes and wave overruns. After half an hour of testing with a stemless wine glass, I had a number of ounces of pool water combined in to my drink. Bigger ingesting vessels are much more problematic, as Benzeni simply isn’t buoyant sufficient to maintain a heavier ingesting vessel afloat. Your finest guess is to stay to cans — of any dimension — when potential, or make sure you’re surrounded by pretty nonetheless water.
