    These look like to be a very popular item in prisons etc.

        If you ground or sharpen the round bit on the end it would make a cool circular knife blade.
        Just perfect for "vamp" to "cut and suck"

        maybe that should be the new name for it:
        "Stainless Steel Cut and Suck"

        • medium_tight on 26/08/2011 - 08:57

          "Stainless Steel Cut and Suck in the Muck" …. Yuuuck

    My kids are prone to chew their maccas straws, cheap to replace.
    These stainless steel ones on the other hand conjur up massive dentist bills if they start chewing without thinking…….

      Yes but isn't "stainless steel" hygenic…….

      • SakuraChan on 26/08/2011 - 09:55

        No, you can't see what's inside, after your saliva has been through it.

        • anthony on 26/08/2011 - 10:14

          Saliva is water based so it will wash off when you clean the straw with water!

          And unless you actually try to spit as much as you can through the straw then through natural drinking you do not backwash all of your spit through a straw.

      • daydream on 27/08/2011 - 14:11

        Have you ever used a kitchen sink? ;-)

    • anthony on 26/08/2011 - 09:29

      You could use water.

        Ever heard of mould which occurs in damp areas…

        • anthony on 26/08/2011 - 10:12

          Yes, on things which stay damp for extended periods of time.

          But this will not stay damp for long periods of time, once you clean it give it a shake and it will dry out pretty quick.

    It looks more like a drug taking implement disguised as a reusable straw

    You can cook your kids some dinner (crack) with this.

        I wonder if they make a special electric shaver-style, mains-powered Straw Cleaning Station, with expendable cartridges containing the cleaning solution that can be purchased separately.

    I think all of you are overlooking the most important part of this deal.

    It's a Straw/Spoon!!! Think of the practical real world applications!

    Have you ever been sitting there sipping your drink and wanting to eat pudding at the same time and thought…IF ONLY I HAD A SPOON!

    • madllama on 26/08/2011 - 13:16

      Sorry to be a downer, but it could be sooo much better if it was a straw/spork. The straw/spoon thing really just limits your options too much.

      • morini on 26/08/2011 - 17:14

        you could easily modify it with a Dremel (optional extra) to make a straw/spork/knife combo.

    They are not plastic. No worries about leaching chemicals.

    • huu on 26/08/2011 - 09:15

      Agree with tritorius, should have market it as spoon with straw instead of "reusable stainless steel straw"

      • slowmo on 26/08/2011 - 10:44

        or a spoon-straw, a spraw!

    So……. Random :)

  • carlenet on 26/08/2011 - 09:26

    Ridiculous! These shouldn't be used by children; imagine the damage that could be inflicted on self or others!

    Also, what's the purpose of having "None" as a selection!? Pay $2.69 for nothing with the ability to add nothing to your cart!? Which interestingly still adds 1 to your cart! :P

  • portmac on 26/08/2011 - 09:27

    I couldn't conceive of a more dangerous item to give a young child. If they fall onto it whilst using it, the possibility of injury is frightening.

    I've never seen plastic straws (~$1 for 50) look like such good value.

      Thats a bs reason. Just because something is higher priced does not neccessarily mean its better.
      just look at beats by dre as a prime example, tons of other headphones are cheaper and better.
      Another reason why something is higher priced is because the merchant is charging more..

      This is a good Price and my kids love that.

      It doesn't actually say her kids "love the straws", but seems to indicate that her kids like the fact that the straws are "a good price".

      in saying that, any straw could be dangerous for kids including the plastic ones at maccas….

      • jv on 26/08/2011 - 09:55

        but the risk and probability of an injury from a steel straw is much greater…

        • mr_max_powers on 26/08/2011 - 13:13

          Doesn't seem any more dangerous than a metal fork.

      • cwongtech on 26/08/2011 - 09:55

        But not as dangerous as these, maccas plastic straws will crumple up, these can go through the back of the throat given enough force.

      • SakuraChan on 26/08/2011 - 10:12

        Anything could be dangerous for kids if they use it incorrectly.

    Oh, for heavens sake! These things have been around for years and I have yet to hear of any reports of death or food poisoning by straw! I have several and they are absolutely brilliant for eating homemade slushies in the summertime. They clean up fine in the dishwasher. (… and of course I don't give them to toddlers!)

      You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

      (Yes, I know how to copy & paste ;-))

  • oz-dxer on 26/08/2011 - 11:43

    Two of these for a small child would would be perfect to test if a power point was "live".
    at least plastic straws are not conductive at 240V

    • anthony on 26/08/2011 - 11:51

      These are not going to fit into a power point.

      at least plastic straws are not conductive at 240V

      They are when they are wet, like after being used.
      And they can be squashed to fit into the power point.

    • slowmo on 26/08/2011 - 11:57

    I'm not sure that it is actually a straw? I think it might just be a "stirrer"? Bad english I think.

    • anthony on 29/08/2011 - 11:42

      The store is Australian so i think they know what they mean when they say "straw"
      http://www.stainlesslife.com.au/pages/About-Us.html

      It is a hollow round tube, that should pass as a straw i think.

      But you are correct, this could also be used as a stirrer (and so could a normal plastic straw)

  • morini on 02/09/2011 - 11:55

    I bought a giant, recyclable drinking straw from an indiginous bloke once, but it was too big to get my gob around.
