This is exactly what it is, there is a slight metal taste on the tips due to the way the outside is finished but the edges are not, so putting your tongue on it can feel a bit weird.

The straw size is bigger than say a McDonalds straw so the flow is quite a lot with each sip, you can angle it against the bottom of the cup edge to limit the intake and that works well.

These are great straws and even a thick smoothie moves through the straw okay. There's even a cleaning brush included as well. I would suggest rinsing through the straw immediately after use. This will surely help with cleaning.

perfect for smoothies... nice size and easy to clean.

These are excellent! Absolutely love them.

These straws are really really useful, they don't bend or break like other straws. Perfect for drinking a smoothie or even a milkshake. I love that a cleaning brush comes with it so they don't get mouldy. My one critique would be that sometimes they are quite hard to suck out of, but if you hold the straw then it's pretty stable. Overall I definitely recommend these, they're a great price!

Love these! They are trending now which makes me so happy! Save the turtles

Won't break, crack or get misshaped.

Really like these. Great length for our nutra ninja cups. Perfect size for smoothies. And amazing price!

Happy with purchase. Quite large sizes good for smoothies. However wish size was mixed maybe two large and two smaller size.

Like the idea of these however feel odd on your teeth!
