Real straw straws!!

"Back to the real thing. Drinking straws.
To rid the world of plastic drinking straws, two women from the Harz region in Germany set out in search of suitable stalks. Their quest was sucessful, albeit beyond the area of influence of Brussels-based standards-»experts«. They found long rye straw in Poland and have developed a cutting process which does not fray stalks. And now the natural straws have only one more hurdle to take, namely the price competition against their mass-produced plastic cousins."

Only looks like they are available in Europe at the moment, though.
