Troubleshooting
Straw feels slightly damp upon opening
This can occur if the packaging has been exposed to humidity. Ensure the storage area is dry. For immediate use, select a straw from the center of the pack.
Straw softens quickly in a drink
These straws are optimized for cold drinks. For extended use in beverages, consider using them for shorter periods or switching to a different material if prolonged immersion is expected.
Ink smudge on straw
While made with food-safe, BPA-free ink, excessive handling or moisture can sometimes cause minor smudging. Select another straw; this is typically cosmetic and does not affect safety.
