Fortunately I found thin straws at a restaurant supply place. I also found a bar supply place that sold nothing but fat straws. I associate fat straws with drinks like the $1 margaritas from a machine at the back of Slots-O-Fun on the crummy part of the Las Vegas strip. I've always figured a blender drink shouldn't be chunky or stringy. Maybe the true quest is for a powerful blender (Red Green probably has some ideas on that). Bendy straws are for poolside and hospital, they take style from drinking. People look more interesting when they bend or move to reach the straw. You don't get a sexy glance across a Mai Tai with a bendy straw.
