Just bought a new set and I’m back to my glory days of being able to sip anything thoughtfully, slowly languorously (—more like langloriously—, and much less addictively.
I get to enjoy my drinks longer and saving money on overconsumption. Its good to have a little friction and slightly work for it a little ;)
Its far more satisfying especially with anything carbonated or rich.
Much much much better for pacing urself. Get them in a fun color or something easier on the eyes like black or dark grey/blue
I dont like their floppiness/insubstantiality tho. Different tastes :) I threw out my silicone ones like right away.
They were also extremely wide compared to the thinner metal ones which was the biggest factor in the exercise
They make silicone toppers for metal straws so you get the strength of the metal with the mouth feel and lower chance of impalation of the silicone.
different strokes, I’m glad you’re enjoying yours!
