1Disintegrated straw in your mouth.
@_*Jennifer
I ordered these adorable straws for a vintage circus-themed baby shower, and while their attractive design had the desired effect, guests were awkwardly disposing of them as the paper disintegrated in their mouths! I was slightly horrified and had to apologize to guests. I would expect something like this after a longer period of use, but this started as soon as they came into contact with liquid. What is the point of a straw that can't hold up to water?

1Do not use for Drinks
@_*tzenes
I purchased these recently as I was looking for a cheep source of biodegradable straws for drinks.

While the straws here did meet my criteria I quickly learned they had a Fatal flaw. The straws break down on contact with liquids. Other reviews mentioned this was a possibility of left in drinks for a while, but they didn't give an accurate time frame:

10 minutes: Straws remain firm
20 minutes: Head of Straw becomes soggy
30 minutes: Head of Straw loses all structural integrity and must be forcibly opened to use
45 minutes: Straw has degraded beyond use

I tried orienting the straws, but the bottom also starts to lose integrity collapsing the length of the straw. While the average straw breaks down by 45 minutes, with more heavy use this can be as little as 20-30 minutes.

I found that these straws only viable if you're replacing them every 20 or so minutes. As someone who consumes liquids throughout the day at work this means I've been going through at least half a dozen a day (frequently more).

I would not recommend or buy again.

22 minute straws.
@_*KT
These straws not useful for smoothies or savoring an iced coffee for more than 2 minutes. The straws just collapse and get soggy... and forget about trying to stir your smoothie with it, because it just bends.

But if you're going to use the straw to drink you're drink in under 2 minutes, then these for you.
