Beer Pong Ball Washers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Clean Cup Quickly Washes Off Stray Beer Pong Balls

— December 3, 2014 — Lifestyle
Since most people—especially drunken ones—don't have expert aim in a game of beer pong, there's The Clean Cup to save you the trouble of having to clean off ping pong balls. After rolling under dusty cabinets, picking up grit off of floors and mingling where feet have been stepping, The Clean Cup is like a car wash, but just for beer pong balls.

The automated, portable ping pong washer uses high pressure to thoroughly wash ping pong balls in about five seconds, so that there's hardly an interruption to gameplay. To be sure that your ball is clean, the device even has an indicator light. This might not seem like a necessity, but during The Clean Cup's Kickstarter campaign earlier this year, there were some eager people to make a pledge in order to scoop up a prototype.
Trend Themes
1. Automated Ping Pong Washers - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a more advanced and efficient automated ping pong washer that can clean balls even faster and with additional features.
2. Portable Cleaning Devices - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create portable cleaning devices for other games or activities that require small objects to be cleaned quickly and conveniently.
3. Indicator Lights for Cleaning Devices - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate indicator lights into various cleaning devices to provide users with assurance that the cleaning process is thorough and complete.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment Equipment Manufacturing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and manufacture automated ping pong washers to cater to the growing demand from beer pong and entertainment enthusiasts.
2. Cleaning Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new cleaning technologies and devices that offer quick and efficient cleaning solutions for various objects and surfaces.
3. Crowdfunding Platforms - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build and enhance crowdfunding platforms specifically tailored to support the creation and launch of innovative cleaning devices and products.
