Next time you're out for a few drinks and something tastes funny, whip out your lipgloss and test the drink for drugs. A new lipgloss from British cosmetics company 2LoveMyLips comes with a spike detector to identify GHB and ketamine in drinks. The gloss, which is already a hit in Britain, comes with a pink taper which is dipped into a drink and turns blue if drugs are present. The product claims to work on some fruit juices, soft drinks, energy drinks, vitamin water, tea and coffee, beer, wine, and spirits. Launches for the product are planned for Australia, the US, and tourist destinations in the Middle East, with plans to sell the product in vending machines in bars and nightclub bathrooms.

I'm of two minds about this: 1). Cool. This is a really good idea. 2). What the HELL have we come to where drug-detecting lip gloss becomes a really good idea?

I'm 49 and married, so I've been out of the dating thing for a very long time, but good Lord, is this really that much of a problem that a product like this is actually necessary? I have an 11 year old daughter and this is getting me rather concerned...
