Spill-safe beverage coaster
Our spill-safe beverage coaster is used to secure a beverage container, such as a mug, glass, cup, can, bottle, etc., from accidental spills, and also to provide a secure environment to safely hold said beverage container on uneven surfaces, such as a sofa, chair, bed, floor, carpet, ground, grass, etc. The shape of our spill-safe beverage coaster is inspired from a typical drone airplane. The distinct shape of a drone's four side propellers function as horizontal supports while stabilizing itself securely on the surface, so it doesn't roll over and spill the beverage.
