The straw question - Tiki Drinks and Food

And the flavor impact from the melting ice diluting your drink can be readily brought out, if you are prolonging the consumption of the beverage. Beyond that, I haven't noticed the flavor subtlety from drinking out of a much smaller straw, but it certainly makes sense. I usually grab a couple of long drink straws from places like 7-11 for bowl-based drinks. But the diameter of these straws seem even greater than your standard drink straws. They are find for drinking a Big Gulp, but lousy for a tropical cocktail. Thanks a lot. Now you got me obsessed to experiment with a smaller sized drink straw. Wasn't it enough to fuel my obsession with the Book of Tiki?
