Whizzinator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Original Whizzinator is a product intended to defeat drug tests. The device received media coverage in May 2005 in the United States after Onterrio Smith, a Former Minnesota Vikings running back, was caught with one at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, which resulted in his suspension. Actor Tom Sizemore has also brought the Whizzinator into the public eye after having been caught with one attempting to evade drug tests.

The Whizzinator comes as a kit complete with dried urine and syringe, heater packs (to keep the urine at body temperature), a false penis (available in several skin tones including white, tan, latino, brown, and black) and instruction manual. The company has recently begun offering a 'female version' ^[1] of the Whizzinator as well. Though there is no information on exactly how this product differs from the 'disposable unisex' product also on the market.

The United States Congress held hearings on the Whizzinator on May 17, 2005.

[edit] Possible inspiration for the Whizzinator

A device to deliver 'unadulterated child's piss' is used by a drunken Withnail in the 1987 film Withnail and I in an attempt to escape a police alcohol test. However, it is discovered when the police notice him fumbling with a rubber tube.
