Just bought a new set and I’m back to my glory days of being able to sip anything thoughtfully, slowly languorously (—more like langloriously—), and much less addictively.

I get to enjoy my drinks longer and saving money on overconsumption. Its good to have a little friction and slightly work for it a little ;)

Its far more satisfying especially with anything carbonated or rich.

Much much much better for pacing urself. Get them in a fun color or something easier on the eyes like black or dark grey/blue

Edit: please dont use them for noseclams (cocaine). Best stick with your friendly neighborhood $5 CAD, whatever € note. Dont invest in USD

      Could fall on it and puncture your heart or stab yourself in the femoral artery. Most people walk with holding their drink to their side, not pointing straight at their eyeball too. Only time the straw would be aimed at your face is when you sip. Point is, it’s a pretty remote risk imo.

        Agreed completely. But I could also imagine some fool taking a sip stepping down a stair, tripping, and impaling themself. It’s possible I watch too much slapstick horror.
