I posted on a previous thread on how I made a facsimile straw.
1) Take a straw with a flexible neck and turn it upside down (I have lots around for the grandkids).
2) In several places on the short end of the “J”, bend it sideways and cut a small corner with a scissors.
3) Then bend the flexible neck, and cut a small slice with a scissors.
4) You can finish up with a drop of hot glue from a hot-glue gun to keep the “J” short piece vertical with the long section.
Extra: Make two of them, even better make two in different colors. (I have a box of differently colored flexible neck straws).
Pair them together with the small “J” sections paired to the opposing long section, and glue a couple drops of hot-melt glue via glue gun. Now you have double suction power!
I believe the hot glue brings the design into FDA regulatory regimen, so nobody will be sipping from your straw until after the clinicals start in 2027, and are finally reviewed well into Barron’s second term.
