  • How long will my topper last in my drink?
    Times vary according to the consistency of the drink. Foamy or thicker liquids will allow the toppers to last longer, while thinner liquids will cause the topper to lose its shape faster. Wafer paper toppers will last around 10 to 25 minutes with the image intact. Clear edible toppers will last 5 to 20 minutes with image intact. Please note: The toppers don't completely dissolve into the drink. After the image is gone, people either eat it or put it aside. Dunking the topper into the drink or getting the image wet will cause the ink to lift and run into the drink.
