The bendy straw

It’s one of those inventions that had both form and function. Most people think of them as simply being that straw that a kid would get a restaurant to be entertained but really there’s so much more to these straws.

After all the drink box would not exist without the bendy straw. The fact that you need a straw that is longer than the box, but also fist neatly at the side of the box as well is an amazing math problem. Not to mention the role these straws play for the sick and elderly that can’t sit up very well to get drinks.
The bendy straw is a miracle of both science and the inventor should get a noble prize.
