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

My boyfriend and I frequent theme parks and many of them have switched to paper straws which really don't go well with our adult drinks. So my friend asked for one for Christmas so we could try it, it worked great! So I ordered one and chose a rainbow straw instead of a stainless one so we could differentiate between our drinks. Well, the design of the rainbow straw is slightly different from the stainless steel one as you can see in the picture. What makes a straw not as strong as a stainless one? If I knew that upfront, I'd just buy a stainless steel one. Overall they're fairly easy to clean and take a little longer to dry as water can seep between the silicone and metal, but we really only use them for our purposes. Adventures in a theme park, that's ok. We haven't had them that long so I can't say how durable they are over the long term.
