Briona Arradondo reports
TAMPA, Fla. - A University of Tampa freshman invented a scrunchie that puts a cap on bad intentions, and she’s getting national exposure for her product. I came up with Nightcap because I had a friend who was roofied. At the time, I was 16 and I was a junior in high school, said Shirah Benarde, who is studying entrepreneurship at UT.
The 18-year-old student turned her prototype invention into a business over the last two years, one she hopes will protect others and prevent drink spiking.
