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.
