This, ladies is the damndest thing I’ve seen in awhile. Hubby and I were getting gas today, and he comes out of the convenience store with a drink and this straw. It’s big and fat, it’s aluminum, and it makes every drink you take icy cold.
One sip and I was hooked, oh my it’s amazing. I came home and Googled it, these are known as Slurpee Straws, we don’t have 7-Eleven’s in our part of the country, but apparently other convenience store chains have jumped on the bandwagon and are selling them as well.
You know what they remind me of? If you’re of a certain age, I bet your mom or grandma had an aluminum pitcher and a set of stackable aluminum glasses when you were a kid. Oh my, did they make your drink cold.
Or maybe I should just enjoy the aluminum straw. Hey it’s a great straw, it’s icy cold, and best of all it’s red. Such a cheap thrill chill on a gloomy Sunday afternoon. I know, it’s a stretch, but there isn’t much to get excited about in January around here.
Woohoo, works for me…
Happy Sunday ~ Jan
These glasses were such a treat back in the pre air-conditioning days. Nice memory.

Yes! My mother put our names on the glasses with red nail polish so we'd know which one was ours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for enjoying the awesomeness we refer to as "The Worlds Coldest Straw" aka Polar Pipe. I work for the company that imports this little piece of aluminum awesomness..do you mind sharing where you got yours? Or better yet post on our FB page..."worlds coldest straw"
