New favorite thing: stainless steel straws

I love straws. Love, love, love them. I love them so much, in fact, that I typically use two at a time in my drinks (I don't know why. I've always done this. Must be an only-child thing) and even have an old-school, jadeite pull-up straw dispenser on my kitchen counter at home. Love them.

So, when I saw these, I sort of shrieked a little bit. They're simply great -- reusable (so I don't get enviro guilt about using two non-renewable straws at a time and go off and buy a carbon credit someplace), cool looking (I mean, aren't they?), and just plain unique.

A box of 50 plastic straws costs like $1 or something, so it's not like I'm saving money with these, but they're sure a pleasure to use. The only down side? Since they're pre-bent, they don't fit in my cool straw dispenser.

Ooooh! Those are beautiful!!

Hmmm... David DID say that I always find new ways to spend money after reading your blog. He loves it when I admit to him that he's right... I wonder if that will get me some straws? ;)

How about we just say I'm wrong and we not get them?

How to clean the metal straws? Drying them clean especially? Just asking thanks I live on straws :)

viktorphilippe, I have just been washing them in the dishwasher. They drip dry in there by the time I empty the clean dishes.
