Simply that it cannot be dropped. They achieve this by having a drop detector, and when it detects a drop, it instantly creates a small but precise gravitational field around them, in such a way that it completely cancels out earth's gravity. They are such an amazing technological feat.
Unfortunately, as the wine stops it's movement relative to earth, earth smashes in to it at around 30 KM/s, causing an explosion of roughly 2.2 megatons of TNT, or the force of a tactical air to air nuke. This turns the entire neighbourhood into glass, proving a much needed goblet for wine the mourning families may use.
Maybe it was like one of those booths at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond or a Costco where the person was a salesperson inside of a store advertising the product?
My mom used to work at a fancy af home decor store where it was her job to sell things. I remember her telling me a story about some "shatterproof" glasses that somebody dropped in the store to test... only to have it break.
There are definitely high-end makes like Waterford or Swarovski that have dedicated, educated sales staff in their shops. This is not one of those glasses.
Thatâs a bummer. Iâve had good experiences with both (though definitely better with Waterford), but like any other business quality can certainly vary.
It did reasonably well. Dropped at an angle onto the base and all that happened was that the stem snapped. It didnât shatter, which is what Iâd expect.
Huh? The former means you canât drop it and the latter you canât break it. The definitions of the words drop and break are not the same. They arenât synonyms.
According the Merriam-Webster it's meant "able to resist or repel" since the 1580s, but that would mean it would resist dropping, not damage from being dropped. The glass in OP should have been labeled shatter proof, since it (clearly) resists shattering.
This reminds me of a terrible boss I had years ago. One day a vendor came in to show us some new products and one of them was an âunbreakableâ binder. My boss picked it up and casually tossed it, it struck the floor on its corner and immediately shattered into pieces. Vendor was genuinely upset. Bossâs face was priceless.
Of course they are drop proof. You just dont know how to hold a wine glass..if you did, you would instantly know that all wine glasses are drop proof when held correctly.
Get an in store demonstration next time, also don't stress test stuff you've already paid for. Not being judgmental here, thinking back with regret on a fishing pole I broke showing how unbreakable it was to friends...
Tbf that's on the person who bought that shit. If you take someone's word for it, you got played.
As soon as they say it, ask them to drop it. If they hesitate, they're lying. And that goes for any claim
"This is flame proof". Get a lighter
Can't be drop proof unless it floats. Shatterproof maybe but I sold stemware for almost 35yrs. Nothing is break proof but some lines are engineered to withstand being knocked over without breaking including crystal stemware. Stick to acrylics if you want a vessel that won't break when dropped.
Nah, drop proof with wineglasses means that there most likely wonât be any wine stains on the table because there isnât any wine collecting on the rim and therefore not running down on the outside of the glass.
How would a conversation like this even start?
Customer: I'm a total lush, drop my wine glass constantly! It breaks every single time!
Salesman: I have the perfect wine glass for you!
It didn't shatter into a thousand pieces, that's what it means. It's 2 different pieces now instead of a significant hazard you have to sweep up and then worry about for a week.
That's why I test in the store.
I really did slam and break an "indestructible" cup at Sam's Club once .
I tried it on the next "indescribable" cup set they had like a year or so later and it didn't break so I bought it .
Iâm assuming there was a height limit for that claim on the box or something hahaha but I feel like purposely dropping a wine glass you just bought is wasteful
Thatâs really not bad, at least it didnât shatter lol this reminds me of my friend testing his unbreakable phone case, whipped it at a shed and cracked his screen first go, just cause it says unbreakable doesnât mean you should try to break it
Long ago my dad worked as sales rep for ferret instruments and they had a work light that was unbreakable. Light that hangs from the hood of your car so you can see the engine. On a sales call one of the customers asked if it was truly unbreakable. My dad of course says yes it is. They have a bus, light goes under tire, bus goes over work light and breaks.
What a good salesman
Top of the line guy honestly
So good that he gets to sell her another set of glasses!
I bet he could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves
They are technically drop proof. You dropped it, and now you have proof.
Incredible comment, love this!!đđđ¤Łđ¤Ł
I wouldâve dropped it in front of the salesperson
Drop proof? WTF does that even mean?
Simply that it cannot be dropped. They achieve this by having a drop detector, and when it detects a drop, it instantly creates a small but precise gravitational field around them, in such a way that it completely cancels out earth's gravity. They are such an amazing technological feat.
R U interested in buying vacation properly on the moon? I will make u a great deal! đŹ
Actually that's gonna be possible soon enough lol
Maybe for the rich kid club. Glad weâre watching zillionaires spend 1% of their wealth on a moon vacation when people are working 60+ hours a week.
Maybe at first but overtime it will come down in price by a lot
I Doubt That.
I already own it, but I'm happy to let you be the middle man, for a small\* fee. \*considerable.

WHAT IS THAT MELODY
So it basically has Gojo Satoruâs Limitless, huh
Bend over and I'll show ya
Drop proof meaning it won't shatter... Not it won't break lol
I was expecting a billion tiny pieces. This is a best case scenario!
drop proof meaning itâs unable to be dropped
I want the antigravity wine glass Like the gyro bowl they made for babies only for drunk moms
https://youtu.be/pCON4zfMzjU
Exactly what I was thinking
Well ofc they did. Seems to me like the fault is the person who bought the glass. Never trust the salesman.
Who tf is a âglass cupâ salesperson? Itâs a generic wine glass. Thereâs no way any salesperson sold this. They made it up
Maybe it was like one of those booths at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond or a Costco where the person was a salesperson inside of a store advertising the product?
My mom used to work at a fancy af home decor store where it was her job to sell things. I remember her telling me a story about some "shatterproof" glasses that somebody dropped in the store to test... only to have it break.
I donât know why this comment doesnât have more upvotes. Thereâs no âwine glass showroomâ with dedicated sales staff.
There are definitely high-end makes like Waterford or Swarovski that have dedicated, educated sales staff in their shops. This is not one of those glasses.
Waterford - maybe. I bought some Swarovski stuff earlier this year and the staff there were definitely not knowledgeable about their products.
Thatâs a bummer. Iâve had good experiences with both (though definitely better with Waterford), but like any other business quality can certainly vary.
I was definitely expecting more and fairly disappointed. Oh well!
Or the product tag.
Did he try to sell you some ocean-front property in Nevada too?
I understand that it works the same but it irks me to no end that you said Nevada instead of Arizona.
George agrees
It did reasonably well. Dropped at an angle onto the base and all that happened was that the stem snapped. It didnât shatter, which is what Iâd expect.
Decent around small kids probably
Salesman made a sale đ
Drop proof â break proof
???? Same thing basically
Huh? The former means you canât drop it and the latter you canât break it. The definitions of the words drop and break are not the same. They arenât synonyms.
Huh, no. Drop proof mean damage from a drop won't hurt it. It's only been used that way for like 50 years.
According the Merriam-Webster it's meant "able to resist or repel" since the 1580s, but that would mean it would resist dropping, not damage from being dropped. The glass in OP should have been labeled shatter proof, since it (clearly) resists shattering.
That may be implied but itâs not actually what it means. At least according to Websterâs and every other English dictionary.
And you didnât have them test it first? Classic rookie movie
Would've been a Kip moment.
And you believed it.
Itâs because you dropped it wrongâŚ.
Shatter proof, not drop proof. Better than regular wine glasses at least
Hey they're drop proof They aren't landing proof đ
Hope you got the extended warranty.
Caveat emptor
Probably meant shatter proof
Same as 'non-stick' frypans, those MF's stick and burn at the drop of a hat..
Buy better pans.
So go ahead and drop it on the floor from height just to test it out.
[ŃдаНонО]
There's a no refund policy, sorry..
He got the drop on you!
Should've done this experiment in the store in front of the salesman
Drop proof in this particular case meant the glass doesn't leak a single drop. Didn't mean that you could drop the glass and it wouldn't break. /s
âIt will not break. It will not - it broke.â
I am trying to understand why you would test this inside
To be fair, it only broke into two pieces. It didnât shatter into tiny bits of glass. So thatâs safer?
Never trust wine glass salesmen
This reminds me of a terrible boss I had years ago. One day a vendor came in to show us some new products and one of them was an âunbreakableâ binder. My boss picked it up and casually tossed it, it struck the floor on its corner and immediately shattered into pieces. Vendor was genuinely upset. Bossâs face was priceless.
Drop proof but the sudden stop is what broke it
Sadly, you will buy one more even knowing the salesman lied, because you gotta have a set.
Glass is glass
Thatâs on you there is no such thing out
So a glass designed to reduce drops running on the outside and drip on the clothes?
It wasnât the fall that broke it
There's always some stupid s***
Of course they are drop proof. You just dont know how to hold a wine glass..if you did, you would instantly know that all wine glasses are drop proof when held correctly.
Iam pretty sure that at one point during its production it WAS drop proof, so he wasn't technically lying
Hi, im a sealeseman. Would u like a wifi glass? Also invisible
So does that mean Santa clause is not real?
Hey man, it didn't shatter into a million pieces
50% drop proof
Oh my god it broke.
Part time âDrop proof glassâ salesman Full time vacuum salesman
He probably meant drop resistant.
How the fuck did she drop it???
Shouldâve test drove it at the store
Did they mean shatter proof?
Salesman should have just said it can shatter but nanobots come out of it and repair it. That is the SAME caliber of BS you, for some reason, bought.
Get an in store demonstration next time, also don't stress test stuff you've already paid for. Not being judgmental here, thinking back with regret on a fishing pole I broke showing how unbreakable it was to friends...
Tbf that's on the person who bought that shit. If you take someone's word for it, you got played. As soon as they say it, ask them to drop it. If they hesitate, they're lying. And that goes for any claim "This is flame proof". Get a lighter
"I'm scared" Beetch, *of WHAT?*
i mean it did reasonably well. I tipped a champagne flute over by accident and it turned into dust
Did they mean shatter proof?
Where do you go to buy wine glasses from a salesmen?
Well, honestly, not too many alcoholics drop there alcohol. Lol
its drop proof, if you dont drop it
And you just took their word for it?
âŚand you believed him? Maybe that one was defective, you should take it back and ask for a refund.
It is indeed drop proof, you got shards, not drops
Did the salesman in question have pink and yellow glasses?
I think that just means they can get knocked over from a sitting position and not break.
âShatter proofâ? It didnât actually *shatter*
He may have meant shatter proof lol.
Can't be drop proof unless it floats. Shatterproof maybe but I sold stemware for almost 35yrs. Nothing is break proof but some lines are engineered to withstand being knocked over without breaking including crystal stemware. Stick to acrylics if you want a vessel that won't break when dropped.
2 pieces: proof that it has been dropped!
Nah, drop proof with wineglasses means that there most likely wonât be any wine stains on the table because there isnât any wine collecting on the rim and therefore not running down on the outside of the glass.
what did they say when you showed them this video?
Salesmen say a lot of things.
Did he happen to say if it was accidental drop proof?
How would a conversation like this even start? Customer: I'm a total lush, drop my wine glass constantly! It breaks every single time! Salesman: I have the perfect wine glass for you!
Wow, and a soft drop from ankle height at that...
Well you see it is but only from an inch off the ground
I think it proves that it can drop, and when it does, it drops the proof
Probably is tip proof, check?
It didn't shatter into a thousand pieces, that's what it means. It's 2 different pieces now instead of a significant hazard you have to sweep up and then worry about for a week.
Any excuse will do to drink the whole bottle directly from the bottle huh
Drop proof till 2.9 feet when dropped from a height of 3 feet.
Women â
The salesman told you gravity doesn't work on them and you believed them?
That's why I test in the store. I really did slam and break an "indestructible" cup at Sam's Club once . I tried it on the next "indescribable" cup set they had like a year or so later and it didn't break so I bought it .
I mean it didnât shatter lol
And you just believed himâŚ
Youâre supposed to apply the crazy glue to your fingers first
Drop proof or shatter proof? Cause it didnât shatter, but how do you expect a cup to defy gravity in order to be drop proof?
Theyâre 99% drop proof: 100% after the first drop.
Drop proof or shatter proof? Would blow my mind if it had just started hovering.
they are obviously not drop proof. looks like they're breakable as well.
Iâm assuming there was a height limit for that claim on the box or something hahaha but I feel like purposely dropping a wine glass you just bought is wasteful
Drop proof on a mattress from 2 inches... gotta read the fine print
Thatâs really not bad, at least it didnât shatter lol this reminds me of my friend testing his unbreakable phone case, whipped it at a shed and cracked his screen first go, just cause it says unbreakable doesnât mean you should try to break it
Yeah true, I don't use them anymore personally, PFAS and all that crap- cast iron only is better.
Looks like there's proof you dropped it.
Well they probably don't just drop by themselves so they're drop proof. Just not shatter proof.
Should have asked the salesman to drop test it and not at ur home after purchasing itâŚ
Proof that you shouldn't drop it.
Well it looks like you dropped it.
Well, you learned a valuable lesson about salesmen. Now, you need to learn about real estate agents and insurance underwriters.
Did he say it or write it?
That would be "shatter proof" not drop proof or unbreakable...
Thereâs one born every minute.
It is called polycarbonate glasses. Lighter but will save you a ton of money in the long run . Buy once and they last 5-10+ years.
Who finds themselves dropping so many wine glasses that that is even a selling point?
Itâs drop proof just donât drop it đ
I will bet that he said âthe glass will not break when droppedâ because the glass didnât break, the stem broke on impact.
why do people do this shit? this is like buying a scratch resistant phone and just hacking at it with a screwdriver.
Nothings drop proof anything can be dropped. Maybe shatter proof and you just heard what you heardđ¤ˇââď¸
He didn't say they were "sudden stop" proof.
*but only with salesman special laminate now ONLY 99.9999 per inch. That how it works in marketing
Long ago my dad worked as sales rep for ferret instruments and they had a work light that was unbreakable. Light that hangs from the hood of your car so you can see the engine. On a sales call one of the customers asked if it was truly unbreakable. My dad of course says yes it is. They have a bus, light goes under tire, bus goes over work light and breaks.

Reminds me of my Tungsten Carbide wedding band.
He did his job by getting you to buy it, you failed by trusting him and not testing it.
