WHAT a good idea! But I’d probably need them for more Dixie cup shaped drinks than glasses with stems… Still, kind of cute, and majorly genius!

I don’t get it! Maybe it’s lack of sleep, but I don’t understand how you can drink from your glass w/ out spilling your food. Or do you un-clip every time you want to sip your wine? I imagine Steve Martin from The Nerd designing this one.

I know I’m going to regret writing this, because it’s probably so simple my 2 yr old can do it.

cute idea, but I think it could look more designed instead of engineered.

I’m not sure I’m in love with these. They look too much like the actual office clips, just bent around a bit. Maybe just not my style.

cute idea! but for me it would just mean I could spill my drink *and* food at the same time.

How clever! That would be perfect for gallery or museum openings (it always makes me nervous to see folks juggling food and drink while looking at artwork)!

Very smart and much needed in my world!

ohhh. A little breakfast, and the whole world is in focus!

I think they are very clever and a good idea, but I agree that they could be designed in a more aesthetically pleasing way. Even a different color would help…

Genius!!! I go to wine and cheese catered events for work a lot. It is impossible to have a glass of wine, and plate of food, and shake hands with business associates all at once, and it’s extremely awkward to try. I don’t mind at all that they still kind of look like binder clips - I’d use them in a heartbeat!

i like the idea, but maybe it’s just me who thinks they look like binder clips on steroids!

Genius!
to me the appeal is that they do look like an office clip - they are what they are. A different color clip would give it a nice punch since they are for parties but you could easily do that yourself, with spray paint, or you could paint little swirls, or polka-dots on them too!

Very clever, I like the ideal!

What a great idea - one of those things that should have been invented a long time ago!

they indeed look a bit like paper clips but as a first it’s pretty cool! And for a personal update, one can add small decorative elements to it.

I am definitely getting those.

Cool idea! So we have party clip!

I’d be a little worries that I might scratch or chip my plates so I think I’d add a rubber ‘foot’ to the clip to protect the porcelain.
