5" Short Cocktail Straws 200 pcs

I needed straws for a lesson aid to teach my students about insect proboscis. These worked brilliantly, and I didn't feel guilty buying them since they are non-plastic and biodegradable. I used them at my last dinner party and they were a hit. They last many hours, even in hot liquids, and do not have a taste or smell like other eco-friendly straws I have used in the past.

These are some of my favorite disposable straws by far. They do not get soggy like the paper straws do and yet they are still an environmentally friendly. They also look really cute.A

Great straws . Good for small glasses or cups . Will order longer ones for taller glasses . No aftertaste & stays intact in beverage . Excellent price for quality straw !!

Bought these for cocktails on our home bar. Originally thought they looked weird, but after using them for a while, I think they're great. They hold up REALLY well in drinks, don't fall apart like the paper straws, but are evidently better for the environment than plastic straws. I cut about half of them short to use in shorter tiki glasses, and they work well for that too.

These are the only biodegradable straws that I have found that work in hot beverages. The only thing about that is that you can't stir it around, or else it starts to malform. However, when it does that, I just flip it upside down, and then it seems to pop back into place. If you don't stir it, there is not problem. It also is much better than paper straws. It's not just like plastic, but it works great for a biodegradable straw.

Had a great craft cocktail in a bar recently and was served one of these straws. It was such a pleasure that I put it in my pocket and took it home. Used it several times before I decided to try to find them on Amazon, and viola! here they are. They can be used over several times with a quick wash, but ultimately disposable in a friendly, compostable way. Highly recommend. Feels better than plastic and holds up great.

These a great non-plastic straws! Some details: o The feel is a thin reed-like texture. o They do NOT get soggy and fall apart like paper straws. o They are brittle, so not bite-able like plastic. o They are not so brittle to break with vigorous stirring or any normal use. Pretty durable for a non-plastic straw. o They are short FULL-sized width straws... Not cocktail sippy straws. This isn't clear in the product description. So, overall - Great alternative to plastic, which will eventually biodegrade. Do wish they had a real cocktail slow-sipping alternative.

I like these so much more than plastic or cardboard. Buying another box soon.

The first order of these straws were the 5”. They were exactly what was advertised. Sugar cane fibre. Came in a cardboard box and the straws were sturdy , and biodegradable. I then ordered another set, this time, the 8” size. When these arrived, they were wrapped in plastic, and the straws were not made from sugar cane fibre. This looked like a wheat straw. It crumpled with little pressure and didn’t have the resilience that a sugar cane straw had. LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT SUPPLIER. THIS ONE ISN'T RELIABLE WITH THEIR ORDERS THEY SEND OUT.

Einwandfrei! Einwegtrinkhalme zum bezahlbaren Preis und biologisch abbaubar. Halten eine ganze Weile nicht wie die Papphalme, die in kurzer Zeit aufweichen, Kann ich nur empfehlen!

I was looking for a straw that isn't plastic or paper. Pictures and description were ideal for what I was looking for. In fact, what I received has nothing to do with what was described. The "straw" looks like hay, at the look, at the touch, but also as it is so fragile. It breaks very easily and most of them ARE already broken, hence, unusable. They may probably be environment friendly, but you can't even use them as straws. They would probably be helpful if you have rabbits. Very, very disappointing. Do not waste your money for these hay sticks.

As expected

The first order of these straws were exactly what was advertised: Sugar cane fibre. They were great and sturdy. I ordered another set as I saw they went on sale from the same supplier. these straws were not made from sugar cane fibre, more like wheat straw It crumpled with little pressure and didn't have the resilience that a sugar cane straw had. DO NOT BUY. Very unreliable supplier that will argue with you over an issuing a refund.
