A cat which is neither alive nor dead, but rather in a state of stasis, in a box. There is also in the box a geiger counter and a tiny radioactive particle, the counter wired to a vial of hydrochloric acid (that got your attention). After a set amount of time, the particle is 50% likely to decay, setting off a mechanism triggered by the geiger counter which smashes the vial and kills the cat. Supposedly, after that set amount of time, if no one looks in the box, the whole system is in a state of stasis because the cat is 50% likely to be alive and 505 likely to be dead, and is thus neither alive nor dead, but both. At least, until someone opens rhe box. There are all sorts of conundrums associated with this thesis, and it is very controversial.

Get the Schroedinger's Cat mug.When a woman takes two pregnancy tests with one coming up positive and the other negative. Until the woman can visit the doctor, she's both pregnant and not pregnant at the same time creating the comparison with Schrodinger’s Cat.
Kirsty: Great, two pregnancy tests with different results. I have Schrodinger’s Pregnancy here, baby and no baby at the same time.

Get the Schrodinger’s Pregnancy mug.When I bit into the burrito it was scalding hot, but when I finished the burrito it was still frozen. This happens every time no matter what side you bite into with Schrödinger's burrito.

Get the Schrödinger's burrito mug.When someone says something and based on the reaction of others will claim their previous statement to be sarcastic.

Get the Schrodinger’s Joke mug.Two people decide to hang out without specifically calling it a date. If nothing comes of it, you frame it as just two people hanging out together. If you end up dating, however, you would both point to this event as your first date.
During the Schrodeninger's Date itself, its status in indeterminate. But afterwards when you look back at the event, you can determine what it truly was.
This is derived from the famous Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment in physics. But this has greater opportunity for sexing.

Person: "Andi, was that a first date last night?"
Andi: "I don't know, it was a Schrödinger's Date. He just said that he was bored and wanted to see a movie. I'm not super interested, but if he wanted to go out, I wouldn't mind it and we had a really good time and we'll have to see what comes of it."

Person: "Jase, how was your Schrödinger's Date last night?"
Jason: "It was great, but now we're going to a hockey game this afternoon and then dinner with her parents tonight. I'm pretty sure that's was officially our first date.
