The gloves are packaged in such a way that makes it easy to eat or interact with surfaces in public that promotes [clean and sanitary hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshist-debuts1). McGlovin was created by the owner of Serda's Coffee Co and Serda Brewing, John Serda, who got into the habit of preparing sandwiches—like a food service worker—with gloves on. Eventually, John began eating his sandwiches with his gloves on too, helping to cut down on messes. McGlovin asks: "Instead of people using 100 wet wipes to clean their hands after, why not just provide a set of gloves before and save on paper costs?"
