Environmentally friendly: Stainless steel straw (8 pcs.) for $3.77

Hey, guys! Just a heads up: The linked offer is already a bit older and the price of the gadget might have changed or it might not be available anymore.

Plastic bags are already being slowly banned from everyday life, straws and more could soon follow. In order to reduce the plastic waste that we produce every day, we need to switch to recyclable alternatives. These include this stainless steel straw variant, which is available from China.

We already had this foldable stainless steel drinking straw here before. At that time, some criticized that the silicone tube inside and the closures on both sides a) were less practical to clean and the drinking straw less beautiful overall. That’s why we now suggest this variant.

Never buy (or throw away) straws again

With a stainless steel straw there are actually only two important questions. First: Does it work? And second: What is the quality like? You don’t really need to know more. Maybe even the size: the straws are 21.5 cm long with a diameter of 6 mm.

Stainless steel straw opening

Functioning here means: can you drink from it sensibly? And it works well here, just like a similar sized plastic straw. With the foldable version this was a bit more difficult, because the hose had a smaller diameter. In addition, the metal simply feels better than the silicone closures. Beside the bent straws there is also a straight version for almost the same price. In addition, there are different colors, but they are chosen randomly.

Stainless Steel Straw Cleaning

And the quality? We bought an identical version of the straw ourselves (although not from an online shop) and are satisfied. A K.O.-Kriterium would be sharp edges on the metal, which do not exist here. Fortunately there is no unpleasant metallic taste in the mouth after or while drinking. Since it is stainless steel, theoretically you have something from the straws forever, which are of course also suitable for the dishwasher. A brush to clean the straws manually is included with each version.

Conclusion

The idea isn’t new at all, metal drinking straws have been around forever. With a probably coming ban of the plastic version they should find however still more sales. If you want to buy a few cheaply, you will find the right offers from China here. And maybe that really means never having to worry about straws again for the next party, because you always have some in your house.

    Soak in acetic acid (vinegar) and water, 1/4cup to 1 cup of water. This is used in healthcare to sterilize, especially in home health, items such as nebulizers

    Soak briefly, rinse and allow to air dry, with diluted bleach, 1:5 water mixed. Kills anything, including HIV. (This is also why water is chlorinated. Especially pool water).
