(Don't read this part firetiki) All we had were regular straws which was not a problem until mom left her straw hat on to take a drink and I noticed the brim was right over the flame. Fortunately she just tipped her head to the side and no problem. But so we don't repeat this incident I hope someone can tell me where one can find some extra long straws.

They sell long straws for bed-ridden patients. That's where I found the ones that I used with my giant crocodile mug. Sabu
