Reddit mentions: The best drinking straw dispensers

This video is a pretty good primer that can help you get started on preparing mate.

If your US-based, you can buy your mate related gear on Amazon, this is a pretty good starter kit. The wooden "gourd" is not traditional, but it is easier to clean.

There are tons of good Yerba brands to choose from, but to start I'd recommend a few of these:


Canarias
Rosamonte
Guayaki (Traditional) -- if you're US-based, this one is easiest to find, likely even at your local grocery store.


Good luck and enjoy!

This is the most important thing on my school list. I'm a teacher and the kids always seem to ask me for a pencil at the beginning of class as I'm taking attendance or seething equally important. It would help me to not go crazy! Next is this. I desperately need more storage in my classroom! My class numbers have shot up...which is good and bad. I teach choir, so I'm super glad that kids want to be in my class!...but that also means that I need more organization and that would really help with that. This comes next on my list because...organization. The kids need a place to put their msuical folders. As of right now, I still haven't figured out how to make it work with what I've got in my room. The 7th grade choir will have 90 kids and the 6th grade will have 80....I have 2 shelving units that have 30 slots each...and putting 2 folders per slot only gives me 120 folder homes...adding that last item will give me 60 more which I can make work!

Thanks for the contest! You really helped me to sort my priorities :)

all the items are on my school wish list!

Glass straws homie. I love drinking from these...

Those are the ones I have. $7 is well worth it, they last forever.

I have storage like this in my bathroom. A combo of plastic storage drawers for stuff I don't need every day (refills of q-tips, extra soap, first aid, etc.) and then over the door hanging baskets for taller items that I use daily but don't want out (makeup remover, hair cream, face wash).

Other daily items live in cute containers on my sink. I have a simple makeup routine and use the same nine items every day. Long items (brushes/pencils/mascara) go in one of those old fashioned straw dispensers and shorter items go in a glass apothecary jar. I have two other apothecary jars for qtips and makeup remover pads.

I could really use this tea straw because I drink a lot of tea blends that I make myself and I am too lazy to use tea balls or to strain my tea so a straw would be really useful. Thank you for the contest!

Or buy these. I find they are the most effective.

I have several bombillae, and two 1, 2 of them can be opened and scrubbed with a small diameter brush as needed. Tho' mostly I just scrub the outside, and run hot water thru them to clean.

I was going to joke but they actually make them!

titanium bent straws

Oh mine is collapsible! One piece metal straws scare me for that exact reason. When I use a straw I'm usually on a cruise ship enjoying (several) alcoholic beverages... most cruise lines no longer supply plastic straws (they blow into the ocean) so I've got my telescopic straw.

Looks like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Telescopic-Reusable-Portable-Stainless-Collapsible/dp/B07SPM4S2S/ref=sr_1_5?crid=29TDTW6GSMKDW&keywords=collapsible+straw&qid=1566062806&s=gateway&sprefix=collapsi%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-5

Clean up that mess properly

I think it comes in gold and silver too 😜

White pipes? Are you talking about these:

Reusable straw and cleaner

$17.15 is the closest thing i have.

Looks similar to this

Expandable straws are the way to go.

I’d try something outside of the pen. I think you can get a “nectar collector” online pretty cheap for dabs.

Make sure you go low on the truclear, I accidentally took 600 mg or 3/4 of the syringe (long story) and wound up high as hell for 3 days! Breathing slowed so much when I was sleeping it hurt my chest, besides that it was awesome eating food non stop and watching tv lol

You can get a nectar collector cheap! I’ve actually used this one lol

>If you want, you could refuse straws at resteraunts and purchase your own paper straws. Don’t force me to dine to your preferences.

​

Couldn't the same be said to you? You could also bring your own straws if you need them. There are alternatives to paper straws.Metal. and glass.

​

​

If it is a thick milkshake it can also just be ate with a milkshake spoon. Most sit down restaurants that offer milkshakes will have them.

​

Kids that drink from straws are more gassy and bloated because they also are sucking in air. Most kids can drink fine without straws.

>I’m simply arguing that you should mind your own business and contribute to the environment in a way that doesn’t hinder others.

Those plastic straws floating in the ocean and building up in the landfill do hinder others though.
