[Angled Tips] 5 Pcs 10" Reusable Bubble Tea Straws & Smoothie Straws, 0.5" Wide Stainless Steel Straw, Metal Straw for Boba, Tapioca Pearl, Milkshakes, Jumbo Drinks | 2 Cleaning Brushes

I didn't find a particular use for the bag that these came with, we just store them in a drawer? The straws themselves are great, we have run them through the dishwasher a bunch of times with no issue. Cleaned them with soap upon receiving them just to be sure there was nothing funky on them. The cleaning brushes they come with are really nice, they are wide enough to definitely clean the inside of the straws effectively. Obviously you can also use them on other things as well once once you have them (the brushes)(or the straws for that matter). We have only used these particularly for making bubble type tea, with tapioca pearls or fruit jellies. They definitely conduct the temperature of what you are drinking through them, so if you are drinking something very cold be careful that you do not get your lips too cold. I definitely would not drink hot things with them, I think the heat would transfer super fast through the metal and could burn you more than the liquid, or cool your lips more than the liquid would by itself. They are pretty darn wide in diameter? Which is totally fine for the applications I described above. But it does mean you actually have to exert, not a lot of force, but a lot of effort on using the straw? In that you have to create a decent amount of suction because the straw is wide And you need to move more volume than you would with a thinner straw. (Like you get "lower pressure" for your effort, haha, it's hard to describe.) They are also very long! Which isn't really a problem? But I almost feel like I would have preferred shorter straws, but I'm pretty sure the length was listed in the description, so that's on me. 😝 Overall useful product.

What can you say? They're straws. They do a great job. So far, no tarnishing and works great for boba tea, bush whackers or slushies. Be careful with these on slushies, though. Get a little over enthusiastic and you will brain freeze before you know it. But I love 'em.

So nice to use a non-plastic straw -- goes right into the dishwasher, and they include three brushes to clean the inside.

I made straw hole puncher out of these! Great product

These are strong metal straws, however mine came with two that were actually bent at the bottom. I was able to use a pair of pliers to unbend them. I doubt that's the case for everyone and I don't want to give the impression these are not strong metal because they are. These are very nice, strong, easy to clean. They give you a pouch with two cleaning wire brushes. We make boba smoothies here and these are exceptional for the price.

These are the bomb! I've been looking for a wide metal straw for a while (can't stand cardboard and plastic isn't much better) and was about to give up when I found these. I live on MOSTLY a liquid diet plus some soup and yogurt but smoothies and protein drinks are 80% of my calories. I am VERY picky since there are many products and the quality range is huge. My skinny metal straws worked for a few years but I'm using much more protein additives now, as well as have fallen in love with bobo tea (My treat is getting to chew on the tapioca after I'm done drinking my beverage!) These are just perfect and for anyone limited to mostly or all liquids, you don't want anything else. I have them in my car. I took a couple to the hospital recently when I had surgery and was SO GLAD I did or I would have had nothing to eat. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Work great for boba and smoothies. And they are very easy to clean (the come with a brush for cleaning). They have one end (for drinking from) that is slightly rounded inward to keep it comfortable to drink from, but that doesn’t make them more difficult to clean. The other end is slightly pointed (like the plastic boba straws you expect). So they can be used to pierce a plastic covering over a cup of bubble tea, but that does make it more difficult to slurp up the last bit of smoothie/drink.

I haven't needed straws in years, I love these for when I make boba milk tea.
