Partying with friends can be fun, but in times where K.O. drops play an increasingly dangerous role, drinking from an unprotected cup can have severe consequences.

Just one moment of not paying attention is enough for a stranger to pour narcotic substances into your drink.

That’s when PopCap comes to the rescue – the simple solution to protect your cup throughout an entire night while adding a catchy design that can be customised for brands or to feature promotional messages. Additionally, it can help the user avoid insects getting into the beverage when they are in a beer garden or on beaches. Simply snap the protective cap onto your cup and pop the lid open to enjoy your beverage.
