“When you drink, the ball is blocked by the gravity in the recess of the glass.”
This means there’s also some leftover liquid in the recess of the glass. You’ll never finish your drink easily. -

Yeah that’s silly I’d lose the ball the second day.

I was thinking the exact same thing as Yummy. Lols. Instead of swirling the glass…why not just twirl a spoon o.o honestly…

You’re going to end up using a teaspoon for sugar etc anyway

When I used to do my Biology and Chemistry work in my 101 Uni class I used to carry a small magnetic tube that I would put in my coffee and put on a magnetic stirrer! Instant mixing!

Ali, that could be the coolest thing of all time. Ever.

I’m English and I use teabags, so I need a spoon to mash the heck out of it. Also, when the spoon stands up on it’s own, I know the tea is strong enough.

Oooo, I like it, but I’m willing to bet I would put too much hot water in, so when I swirl the glass around to get the ball rolling I would probably spill hot tea on my hand.

Poor design - not only is it very difficult to finish the drink due to the excess liquid in the indentation on the bottom, but it makes cleaning/rinsing/drying difficult as well. Go back to the drawing board.

For coffee, I just pour a bit higher and let hot liquid do all the mixing.

This is not only impractical, but lazy. Spoons have been around for as long as they have for a reason.

Really? The ball must be attached, otherwise it will fall into your mouth, right? And if the ball is attached then it’s gonna be a pain to clean that.

It’s a clever idea, except that when you swirl the ball around, you’re swirling the liquid around as well. Methinks it wouldn’t work so well.

its not really self-stirring anyway as it require the user to swirl the ball around.

…..because stirring a spoon around in a 2″ circle is just took much work.

I can see the avertising slogan now.
‘let us stir your tea (or coffee) with our balls’

great idea. not incredibly original and “new” but it definitely illeviates the need for plastic stirrers. but you know what ELSE can stir your liquid? a spoon! thanks, genius.
