    $140 USD for a box of pasta. You should buy a box and let us know. To be fair that gets you a few thousand straws but no matter how hungry I am I can’t eat that many pieces of noodle.

      140 for how many pounds? you can get a 50 pack for like 6 bucks.

      i kind of want to try them in both drinks and pasta. like, that would pick up so much vodka sauce i want it. but i have yet to try the rice pasta i don’t gag on. i’ll stick with my cannellonis, ravioles, linguines, bucatinis, and cavatappis. those five hit all the notes i need.

        $140 = 2250 straws.

        5c a straw feels expensive. I buy PLA straws at around 4c a straw. I don’t think pasta straws are all that better unless you compost. All straws are bad if you’re just chucking them in a bin at least from what i’ve heard.
