Disposable straws are such a waste, as billions of them are tossed after a single use to sit in the landfill for years and years to come.
Paper straws are becoming more and more popular but still aren’t the best option since they are a single-use product.
Here is a fun alternative for the kids or for yourself. Licorice. Yes, licorice makes the perfect straw, all you have to do is snip off or bite off the ends.
Jayson sometimes slips one into my cocktail before he serves it. Haha.
This is also a super fun straw for birthday parties! We serve red and rainbow colors licorice sticks with Izzy’s at parties and Eben loves chocolate licorice in his milkshakes.
Would you eat your straw?
Great idea – especially for kids parties. How fun!
Thank you for the reminder about these wonderful straws – I used red licorice for straws when I was a youngster. Yummy! I’ll need to revive it for my little grandson. (And his mom and dad.)
Also good is an old girl scout treat – a ‘soft’ peppermint stick stuck into an orange. The peppermint stick will have small holes in it that enlarge as you suck the juice through it. Another yummy!
fun idea!
Hi Gugaw,
Thanks. I think you will enjoy it.

Hi Leatherwood Designs,
Another great thing about these “straws” is your can color coordinate them for any party theme.

Hi Lori,
Thank you for another candy straw idea. Anytime that I can drink with and eat my straw is a good thing.

That’s a great idea, I did it to goof around as a kid, not knowing that it was “green.” Now I just do without the straw.
Kara,
We do the same thing as well when we go out…we avoid straws at all cost.
