The Beach Glass is designed to address one very specific problem: drinking on a beach without accidentally knocking over your glass, or seeing it sink to the bottom of the sea. The glass is actually plastic, so it floats. And instead of ending in a foot, the bottom of this glass is a spike. When you’re done with a sip, drive your glass into the sand. The designers also suggest using it with snow or while soaking in a bathtub, since it will remain upright in water. I suspect that it could also be a crude weapon if sharpened into a shank.

Please everyone, learn the meaning of words before you use them.
Sorry, but bleh.
Gotta love the first two comments: the trolls are feeding on each other now?
That said, this kind of stuff always seems to get into the hands of those repressive regimes that just cant allow freedom of speech under their rule. But I guess it's better than being hosed with bullets.
Repressive regimes don't generally bother with non-lethal weapons...that's why they are 'repressive'.
And it looks like commenter #1 is astroturfing for commenter #2.
But whatever.
Oh you know the officier manning the water cannon is totally gonna be aiming for people's mouths.
Simple. Because it won't kill the civilian (and that is inevitably who it is used against, citizens), police tend to use it more and more often, for lesser and lesser reasons. Eventually, they are used as punishment, again, for lesser and lesser reasons. See the abuse of tasers in the US.
This kind of thing should only be used on the battlefield. Civilians, no matter how belligerent, shouldn't be subject to such attacks. Either shoot them or arrest them. Don't punish people without a trial.
