Bendy straws
The other day I came across one of those bendy straws ~ you know the one that allows you to slightly bend the last several inches of it so it tips back instead of being so straight. I had to figure that this was one of the best ideas yet to improve the straw, but just how many other people want bendy straws and how important are they in your everyday life? So this is the thread to let the manufactures and businesses know that you do or don’t like bendy straws!
First the bendy straw came wrapped with paper around it to kept it clean; how many times do you see that? Usually I get those straight straws that don’t come wrapped and don’t bend at all. I tell the waitress that “I don’t want no stinking straw if it isn’t a bendy one.”

You GO, bendy straws!
When I was a child, and this would be more than a few years ago, I seem to remember bendy straws and not only did they bend: They possessed a hidden trick up their sleeve in that they also flavored your milk.
You'd put one of these in your glass and stir. Voila! Strawberry milk - and a bendy straw experience to boot. At age 10 nothing much mattered more than that. Probably gave you cancer or made you go blind, but who cared?
Also, those straws they gave out in school were just too skinny. It was always coolest to use 2.

I only buy the neon color bendy ones to keep in the house.
I use them every day
Oh am I the only one who doesn't like the big wide "milkshake" straws for anything other than milkshakes?

I had a Crazy Straw when I was a kid. It was a rigid plastic that made a couple of full loops. Fun to play with your milk.

I prefer the non-bendies... the corrugated wrinkles around the bendy bits, stop any possible chance for firing at your target, when you're opening up the straw. (and in my family, if you can't shoot someone with a straw out of self defenece, you will very quickly be taken down on the totem pole of siblings). What is more important to you!!! Bendy straw? or compatable firing accuracy!!!
