The scam of offering drug-laced drinks to knock someone out before robbing or raping them was not named after the fairy tale. The reference was the TV frame «Good Night, Cinderella»presented by Silvio Santos in the 1970s. The attraction, which rewarded participants with a night as a princess, was very popular. It was based on her that the police dubbed the coup.

In addition, there are other possible relationships. The first is that this type of scam usually happens at nightclubs or parties – and Cinderella attends a grand ball, while Sleeping Beauty does not. Furthermore, the spiked drink often causes its victim to lose control of himself, similar to how Cinderella lost her glass slipper when she ran out of the ball.
