100% Organic Grass Straws Drinking - Pack of 100 Natural Eco Friendly Biodegradable Drinking Straws - Disposable, Safer, Healthier Than Reusable Bamboo Straws Reusable, Paper, Wheat, Plastic Straws

So personally i despise paper straws, with how quickly they fall apart and become mushy with in a short term use. The bamboo and metal straws are great for home use, but i would feel bad using these outside of the house and having to carry around a semi dirty metal straw, or having to throwing away the bamboo ones that can be cleaned and reused(which with their cost, i do).In steps these straws. I was hesitant at first since being straw, I was worried it might impart a taste in the drink used. So far I have tried the straws in non carbonated drinks, and carbonated, and I have to say I'm pleased with the results. nearly 3 hrs of sitting in the non carbonated, and the end wasn't mushy or slimy. roughly 2 hrs in the carbonated drink, and while it was a little soft, wasn't mushy either. the non carbonated didn't impart flavor, while the carbonated did at first, but was very subtle, and either dissipated or my taste dulled to it quickly, so after 2 sips it was fine.for true one time on the go use, these are coming with me.

I remember using paper straws growing up, and they would end up getting soggy and falling apart.I was reluctant to try these straws, but my granddaughters were asking that I stay away from plastic straws so I decided to try these.I was pleasantly surprised At how durable they were. You do have to be careful and not put a lot of pressure on the straw or squeeze it and this will cause it to crack. It is still issuable if that happens. They are made from grass and have no odor to them and if left in liquid over night they do not get soggy or fall apart. I will be getting more.

I got these straws for two purposes - because they fit our Moana birthday theme and I hated paper straws and our household doesn't use disposable plastic ones if we can help it, and I didn't want to use ones we had to wash for a birthday party. These worked so well and while they're pretty easily broken/split by toddlers & young kids who used them as swords, there was no guilt for tossing them either in the trash can or for them being dropped & left in the back yard.The only thing that I found odd/disagreeable was that when you get them, I "tested" one by blowing through it, and a powder came out. I am assuming that it's basically the grass, since dried grass can be dusty, but I had to instruct my guests to give their straws a good blow or rinsing it before putting it in their drink. I did forget to do this to one subsequently and did get a different taste, but it was only there the first 2 sips.Overall, it's a good straw, doesn't get mushy or slimy or affect a drink (even after sitting for 24+ hours which did happen; the straw got soft, but did not break down), and I didn't mind the price for the environmentally friendly convenience of these.

It held up much better than paper straws ever have. Even with hot beverages. It could be a problem to some people that the straws come in different diameters but I like it. It really shows that these are a natural product. You also can smell the grassy mild scent when put in hot drinks but no strange taste just like they promised. To me, the scent it so mild that it doesn’t bother me. I’m just happy that I have disposable straws that don’t melt in my drinks anymore.

It's such a cool concept, using grass as a straw. I gotta say, all my friends were super impressed for some reason, I busted these out for our last game night (way back in the fall of 2019, well before this whole mess really kicked into gear) and everyone was like "whooaaa, what's up with these straws?". It was kind of a flex, which it wasn't really intended to be, I was just excited to show people the cool straws I found, but everyone was stoked about it.But, using them on my own I noticed that I can't stop chewing on the end. It's just a personal habit, but I don't chew on plastic or metal straws. Just these grass ones. If you have an oral fixation of any type, skip these - you're gonna bite the end, and it's gonna make it too soggy to use.

These straws arrived cracked. They are very fragile. They crack just by holding them. I bought them as a gift for my grandchildren to inspire helping the environment. They liked them but could not use very many of them because they break so easily. After receiving my review the company offered me a full refund. How nice! I appreciate their efforts to rectify the problem. Thank you.

Awesome straws... they look great, VERY natural appeal. Use then toss them without guilt! They are sturdy and they do not get soggy easily. I have even washed and reused them with no issues. They have no flavor or scent when using them... if you stick your nose in the box they do have a light grass smell. The diameter of the straws varies slightly within the box but overall they are on the small side of normal... each one is unique.

I keep the straws in my car for moments when fast food places give me paper straws. Yuck! The straws don’t interfere with the taste of the drink. And they hold up great in the liquid. Very surprising eco-friendly products. They aren’t sturdy if you try to break them in your hands. But if you just put them in the straw hole of any drink container they do fine.
