The Straw Phenomenon

Straws alter:

  • flow speed
  • temperature perception
  • sensory intensity
  • oral motor experience
  • carbonation experience

Some people:

  • require straws
  • hate straws
  • need giant smoothie straws
  • only tolerate metal straws
  • despise paper straws with biblical intensity
  • chew straws for regulation
  • need water bottles with bite valves
  • emotionally bond with reusable tumblers

Drinking methods matter.

The body notices everything.
