Review on FinalStraw: Collapsible, Reusable Metal Straw with Travel Case & Cleaning Tool - Stainless Steel, Eco-Friendly, Easy to Clean by Jeanie Escobedo

I even forgot I bought this for a while so this review comes quite late. It was a beautiful straw. It looked fun, the fact that it folded up was handy, getting a straw or cleaning brush out of the case can be a chore, but initially it seemed like it was worth the money. Unfortunately, it only took a couple of weeks for a bruise to form in the middle of the straw and it's now completely unusable. Best $20 you've ever spent? I'm afraid not. I took care to clean this straw (note: also a pain - the cleaning brush kept folding during use), dried and stored well/as directed and never got too hot or too cold. , so I can only assume the placement of the clip is the result of how it folds into its packaging. I haven't been able to fix it yet, but I haven't played around with it much either. Don't take it as an "everlasting straw". Despite all the advertising you may see, it's not really built to last and there are plenty of other straws out there that will last longer. It's probably best to use it as a water straw and nothing more.
