Looking for a straw that can beat up all those all wimpy plastic straws? Want the toughest drinking straw on the market today? Try the Titanium Drinking Straw. Titanium is super strong and light; in fact the straw is tough enough that you can just jab it right into oranges or other fruits and drink right from the fruit. Titanium power!
Titanium domination baby! You can even use it to puncture and drink right from milk cartons or soda or beer cans. Video proof? You got it right here:
That’s one powerful straw. Not to mention it’s made of food grade titanium, which is tasteless, odorless, does not corrode, is non-allergenic (to most of the world), and has an excellent weight to tensile strength ratio. Solid. Overkill? I don’t think so. More like totally necessary. $14.99 at ThinkGeek.
Following a bus accident in the ’50s, I was left with half a tooth right in front. The nerve was exposed, but I was just 11 and still growing. The raw nerve was so sensitive to heat and cold that I was often near screaming. Plastic straws didn’t exist and paper ones weren’t all that common either. So my mother carried a glass straw in her purse for me to use. We broke many, but the straw as the only way I could drink nearly anything. So I don’t think the titanium straw is in any way funny. I would have loved one in ’57. BTW, I have a nifty crown with a gold back, though I shouldn’t mention that when gold is $1600 an ounce.
see- the straw also has a legitimate medical use too.
