Sweet Treat-Flavored Straws

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dippin' Dots Celebrates a Quarter Century with New Magic Milk Straws

— March 24, 2014 — Life-Stages
In honour of its 25th anniversary, Dippin' Dots has released two new magic milk straw flavors: s'mores and birthday cake.

The straws contain Dippin' Dots and when submerged into a glass of milk, the Dots add a sweet and delicious flavor. Birthday Cake features a blend of yellow, blue and pink cake flavored dots, while S'mores has a mix of graham, chocolate and marshmallow dots.

Not only is this novelty intriguing, but it is also a nutritious and simple incentive for children to drink and enjoy their milk. These straws only have 4.6 grams of sugar and 15 calories, which is a better alternative than sugary syrups or high caloric flavored milks. It is also perfect for cereal to jazz up boring bran into something delightful.
