Sipping my iced tea through a boring clear straw, I had a thought. What the heck ever happened to Crazy Straws? As a child, I thought I was such a big shot, sipping my chocolate milk or lemonade with a Crazy Straw. I loved watching colored beverages pass through the thick, twisted plastic straw right before my very eyes.
Back in the '70s, I don't remember Crazy Straws being super sophisticated or coming in different shapes and sizes. I believe they were just twisted and fun and everyone at school had to have one.
Today Crazy Straws are available in a wide variety of shapes and themes and aren't just for kids! Check out their website for straws for Bachelorette (they keep it clean!) parties, poker and more.
Did you have a Crazy Straw? Do your kids use them today?

Crazy straws were always more fun than those straight ones. Even the bendy ones. I want color, pizzaz!
My fave, fave, fave thing to do was drink milk with my crazy straw in my Underdog glass. I just stopped doing it last week.
My kiddos love these as much as I did!
chocolate milk with crazy straws, ah that takes me back!
LOVE THIS!!!!!! we just bought crazy straws for T's friend's for T's birthday party this weekend!!! i'll have to get a picture of all the girls drinking from them! how cute! i did like crazy straws too, however, i had a hard time cleaning them. i remember trying to clean them myself and thinking that if i put the dish soap directly into the straw that it would clean, however when i went to take my first sip in my "clean" straw, i just slurped up a big thing of soapy drink. gross. another time, i didn't clean it and the milk got moldy in the straw. dang crazy straws. ;) i was so young back then!
We have an entire drawer full of crazy straws. Some of them are even from when my brother and I were kids. In fact, I think I'll go grab one right now!
I love(d) crazy straws. But I remember that we had some that you re-used. And I have to question how clean the dishwasher got those loop-de-loops.
Ick. Grown-up Alison is bothered by this. A lot.
Oh my god!!!!! The 2 mini CB's LOOOVE them!
I'm so old, I remember wax coated paper straws lol but I do remember when plastic bendy straws came out. Boy weren't we excited hahaha... Hiya Ally, happy Tuesday!
My kids liked Krazy Straws. Hey, I used one with them. I forwarded the link to my daughter, I bet she will be get some for her daughter.
I NEED a crazy straw!!! Now!
Yep. Had a first grader bring them in just the other day.
Yup, the cute curly things were fun, but impossible to clean. These days there would probably be recalls and lawsuits...
I love crazy straws!!! Recently, I purchased aluminum(IDK some metal...) straws from 7/11 and OMG. It was friggin great. I love them. Its so cold! I enjoy them frequently. You should try em.
These are fun but very annoying when you are thirsty.

Reminds me of Six Flags!
I can't tell you just how much I loved these things as a kid…and those bowls with the straw built in…I think they were called sip-a-bowls.
Man, those were the good, old days.
Oh, crazy straws, most definitely cool. The only problem is that you have to rinse them immediately, or they grow mold. Yuck.
