But that’s a very good thing in this case. These collapsible, reusable, BPA-free, food-grade silicone straws are approx 9-3/4” long, but fold up to fit into a 1-3/4” x 2-3/4” carrying pod with a carabiner. Attach it to your keys, belt, backpack or anyplace handy and you’ll never have to use a throwaway straw again. Good for over a thousand slurping sessions with hot or cold drinks, and you’ll get a collapsible cleaning brush with every straw. Our each is (4) light gray, pink, navy blue or aqua straws in matching cases, which we’ll pick because we have impeccable taste.
