ALINK 10.5" Clear Glass Straws - 8 Pack with Brushes for Tumblers & Jars | Reusable & Eco-Friendly Drinking Straws for Home & Travel

There is absolutely a time and place for thick straws, but I was really struggling to find the thin ones that fit into a standard Yeti lid. I had a few to start with, but over the years I had some accidental drops that did them in. The straws themselves are remarkably strong for being glass, but if you drop your heavy tumbler full of coffee on the pavement because you had slippery gloves or whatever then physics is going to do its thing and break your straw. I dropped them at home while doing dishes several times and they were fine, so it's just when you insist on it that they succumb to real world pressures (like gravity and gravel.) Anyway, every time I thought I found new glass straws they were too big for my Yeti. I have metal straws that work, but I greatly prefer having a nice clear straw so I can see if anything is in there other than coffee. I also trust the cleaning process more when I can see results. This generous pack arrived yesterday and I was very happy to use one at work today. It's a small thing, I know, but it makes a big difference for me. Yesterday I could have been slurping up any kind of random debris with my beverage. Today I had the confidence of a woman with a clear glassstraw. I do believe I stood a bit taller today! Buy these straws: they are better for the planet and absolutely better for knowing you're not accidentally drinking a bug.
