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


Straws are about convenience to keep the kid in (preventing spills) and still being able to drink.
Lips also do that, though. Straws just do it from a distance.
Eh but with lips you have to ensure the lid is a super tight fit or else you get leaks and spills.
