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!
ReplyDeleteMy fave, fave, fave thing to do was drink milk with my crazy straw in my Underdog glass. I just stopped doing it last week.
ReplyDeleteMy kiddos love these as much as I did!
ReplyDeletechocolate milk with crazy straws, ah that takes me back!
ReplyDeleteLOVE 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!
ReplyDeleteWe 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIck. Grown-up Alison is bothered by this. A lot.
Oh my god!!!!! The 2 mini CB's LOOOVE them!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteI NEED a crazy straw!!! Now!
ReplyDeleteYep. Had a first grader bring them in just the other day.
ReplyDeleteYup, the cute curly things were fun, but impossible to clean. These days there would probably be recalls and lawsuits...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun but very annoying when you are thirsty.

Reminds me of Six Flags!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMan, 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.
