Dribble glass
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dribble glass is a drinking glass that has holes hidden in the etched design.
The purpose of a dribble glass is limited to pranks. When a person drinks from this glass, they end up spilling the liquid on their clothing as the drink trickles through the holes when they tilt the glass to take a drink.
The dribble glass was invented by prankster, and businessman, S.S. Adams (or Samuel Adams, no relation to the beer).
Not only did Adams invent the dribble glass, but he also invented about 700 of the most recognizable gag, prank and joke items of all time.
Adams' most successful gag items include itching powder, sneezing powder, invisible ink, the bug in a plastic ice cube gag, the squirting lapel flower and many others.
