Area college student scores Shark Tank win

The idea first came to Shirah Benarde in a dream. She had heard about drink spiking from friends who were in college, and while dozing one night, she came up with a solution.

The next morning, the then-16-year-old West Palm Beach high schooler grabbed pantyhose from her mom’s closet and a scrunchie. She then created the first prototype for a product to cover a drink to keep it from being spiked with drugs. Knowing she was onto something, she and her dad contacted a local seamstress, who helped create several more prototypes to perfect the product.
