I understand this is more of a logistical issue, but it shows a glaring lack of product viability. The straws themselves are good and quite fun. It starts to smell a bit strange…

Pros
  • straws

  • There are other interesting options.

These herbal straws have a pleasant, slightly herbal flavor that goes well with milk and most teas. It's great to have a natural

Pros
  • Paper and plastic
Cons
  • Not reliable
