Tiyo is an Emergency Button to Get You Out of Bad Dates and Situations
Laura McQuarrie — July 29, 2014 — Lifestyle
No matter how careful you are, sometimes you just happen to land yourself in a situation that seems to have no escape—but this is where the Tiyo emergency button comes in handy. Whether it's an awful date, a snooze-worthy meeting or just an awkward conversation, pressing the Tiyo Button will help you extricate yourself from whatever you'd rather not be a part of.
Tiyo works when you press the button on its keychain, which will then send you a call. Ahead of time, you have the option to make customizations to make the fake call seem more realistic, such as specifying who the call is coming from. To make your escape seem as natural as possible, the conversation includes a script so that you can be out of there in no time.
