One woman has 'spiked her friends' in a shocking video to prove an extremely harrowing point.

Shirah Bernarde, the founder of drink spiking prevention product, Nightcap, recently took to Instagram to show just how easy it is to spike a drink without someone knowing.

In one video, she demonstrated the scary fact by 'spiking' her friends' drinks with sweets and it's since gone viral for all the right reasons.

Shirah stitched together a series of clips slipping various different sweets into her friends' drinks without any of them noticing a thing.

Showing that 'drink spiking happens that fast' she explained: "The most common person to spike your drink is someone you know…"

"Don't let your guard down!" she added before showing more clips of her popping the sweets into just not opened-top cups but bottles and even non-alcoholic cans of soft drinks.

"Always watch your drink being made and NEVER leave it unattended," Shirah warned at the end of the video.

"This is definitely something that needs to be shown in school for awareness," praised a second.

A third pointed out: "And the pills are so tiny!! These candies are huge compared to the real ones and no one still noticed anything."

"And what is even worse this is all bright coloured candy most illegal things being added to drinks are white or clear and going to be WAY harder to see," echoed a fourth.

A fifth admitted: "I always think I’m safe because I am not drinking alcohol. This is SO important. Thank you for sharing and doing this."

"Well this is terrifying," wrote a sixth, while another thanked: "This is one of the best awareness videos I’ve seen so far I’ll be honest."

And a final Instagram user added: "This is literally the best way I've seen someone publicly educate people about this issue and I'm so thankful you did."

According to a YouGov poll in December 2022, 10% of women and 5% of men said they had been spiked.

The police reportedly received a staggering 6,732 reports of spiking in the year ending April 2023 with 957 relating to needle spiking.
