Bamboo straws, paper and real

These would be cool looking in a drink. They're printed with soy ink.

144 straws for $5.50.

I think these would effect the taste of the drink.

I really like the printed paper straws but I agree with you a out the bamboo ones. Not sure they wouldn't effect the taste of the drink and it says they are reusable but I usually have enough stuff to wash and not sure I want to bother washing straws also. Also my friends would probably toss them not thinking they were reusable.
