Fans of Patrick McGoohan’s classic BBC spy series The Prisoner will recognize this gimmick from Episode 15, “The Girl Who Was Death.” This is a pint glass with words etched on the bottom (in authentic “Village” font) that appear line by line as the liquid is imbibed.
Update: Got lots of folks asking to buy these, and I finally managed to get a couple dozen made and posted in my Etsy shop. Thanks for all your positive comments.
Update 2: Etchworld has started carrying these stencils in their online catalog, so those of you who want to DIY should now have a much easier time sourcing the vinyl. Thanks, folks!
Use a mug instead of a glass! And then orient the text based on whether you think the mug is more likely to be used by a right- or left-handed drinker. =]
Yes it does. As pointed out in Step 5. But probably worth emphasizing.
Especially since those nitrile gloves provide no protection to acids. HF is scary stuff- it won’t burn your skin- it seeps painlessly into your tissue and seeks Ca- that is your bones- and dissolves it. Best get real acid gloves if you’re screwing around with HF.
I did finally managed to make a run of these and get them listed in my Etsy store, if anyone wants to buy. Thanks for your interest. Sorry about the busted Etchworld link.

The claim that “nitrile gloves provide no protection to acids” is unsupported by any evidence that I can find, and, frankly, makes little sense to me. They exclude water, they exclude acid.
Those are cool! If you want to use my vector art, which is authentic to the show styling, you can download it at the link below, and should feel free to do so. Sell it or whatever, I don’t care, though I suppose it’s possible the BBC actually has some rights in this that I am not empowered to convey. But you won’t get any grief from me, though you might link to this guide if you are feeling generous.

Nitrile gloves are impervious to hydrofluoric acid in liquid form, although vapourised acids may penetrate thin layer gloves with sufficient exposure. A respirator should be worn.
