Craft Ideas From Straw

The straw is a tube that is intended to transfer the beverage from the container mouth to drink, with the application of sucking power. The earliest straw-shaped hollow grass stems and really made of grass / straw. A thin plastic tube (such as polypropylene and polystyrene) or other materials, straight or with hinges like an accordion, it was used by one end in the mouth and another in late drink. Measures that reduce the air pressure in the mouth, then the power of atmospheric pressure to drink straw. Straws were first made by the Sumerians, and used to drink beer (to avoid solid fermentation byproducts). Argentina and their neighbors use similar metallic device called a bombilla which acts as both a straw and a sieve for tea. Modern straw was patented in 1888 by Marvin C. Stone [1].
