Pasta straws

Coco di Mama (best Ldn chain don’t @ me) does these and I think they’re a game changer.

They actually feel nice in the mouth, they’re food so will decompose, all round GBOPS.

Don’t they go soggy when the drink passes through them?

My friend is the managing director of Coco di Mama so he will be delighted to hear this.

I’ve got some metal reusable straws this week (with rubber sucky bits)

Only got them to qualify for free postage but they’re good, big fan

On the left hand side!

Would murder sea life with my bare hands not to have to use a paper/cardboard straw ever again

Incidentally the ones they have in Joe and The Juice (eurgh) are made from sugarcane and are excellent:

Ive got some bamboo ones. Good, but a ball ache to clean as my wife threw away the little brush that came with them

Cardboard/paper straws make me feel sick, going soggy immediately :nauseated_face:
