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
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.
