Once in a restaurant I got some longe macaroni pasta as a straw and I still think this was genius.

Unless you have a gluten allergy, or need to drink something hot.

Gluten free pasta exists.

Also love the idea of having to quickly drink your hot drink before your straw becomes a limp noodle (literally) 😂
