Or perhaps you\u2019ve worn a crisp, new shirt at a barbeque and quickly realized that shirt wouldn\u2019t look new for long. Maybe you\u2019ve simply had a beverage accidentally knocked over, right near your smartphone that happens to be lying beside it on the table. Whatever the careless moment or unfortunate incident, a small company out of Lancaster, PA has developed a product that guarantees to revolutionize how we protect our personal possessions from life\u2019s unfortunate run-ins with these liquid-based hazards.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neverwet.com\/\"> NeverWet&#x2122;<\/a>, a longstanding Sharp Innovations client, has recently partnered with Rust-Oleum&#x2122; to bring this technology to a store near you. For about $20 a can, you can purchase NeverWet\u2019s&#x2122; two part super-hydrophobic coating that effectively resists water and other aqueous solutions, acids, bases, salt solutions and most foods.<\/p>\n<p><em>See NeverWet&#x2122;\u00a0 in Action..<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NeverWet Arrives - Hands-On Product Demonstration\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DZrjXSsfxMQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><!--more-->Gizmodo<\/strong><br \/>\nIf this all sounds a bit familiar, it may be because NeverWet&#x2122; has enjoyed tremendous media buzz of late, driven largely through powerful YouTube and blog channels. Being featured by the popular technology blogs like Gizmodo has also helped. Gizmodo, known as the \u201cGadget Guide,\u201d is something like an online version of \u201cPopular Science.\u201d And the <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/you-can-finally-buy-the-magical-spray-that-waterproofs-563613333\">June 24th post<\/a> featuring NeverWet&#x2122; has commanded over 178,000 page visitors, highlighting the magic-in-a-can phenomenon for its tech-savvy audience. This placement on Gizmodo has boosted the buzz surrounding this innovative product and could prove to be a catalyst for a viral sensation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Statistics<\/strong><br \/>\nNot only have many users landed on Gizmodo\u2019s write-up, but many have been engaged in doing so. As of July 1st, the Facebook \u201clike\u201d total for the page was approaching 9,000, while well over 400 comments flooded the page, ranging from general praise to excited anticipation of future uses and functions. That\u2019s just the beginning: A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DZrjXSsfxMQ\">YouTube clip,<\/a> shown above, posted by Lancaster Online exhibiting the scientific anomaly, has attracted nearly 2.5 million views! Consequently, NeverWet\u2019s urchin reporting, managed by the Sharp team, reveals the massive spike in page visits, from 1,900 on Monday the 17th, to over 33,000 on Tuesday the 18th, to over 45,000 on Wednesday the 19th.
