Green Idea: Stainless Steel Straws

What kid doesn't love a bendy straw? But it would never even occur to us to bother buying plastic straws because it's not a necessity and just ends up in the trash. These, on the other hand, can even go in the dishwasher...

Just in time for summer smoothies and drinks- we found these in a bunch of places online. Interestingly enough, they're out of stock at most of them.

Here are some of the places we found them:

My first thought is that it'd probably be rather unpleasant to drink from. But being able to stir thicker drinks like smoothies with the straw would be nice.

I wouldn't be able to trust that I was actually getting it clean, though.

I would be scared of kids poking each other's or their own eyes out.
