Metallic Beverage-Sippers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Tackle Heavy-Duty Drinks With the Titanium Straw

— July 23, 2011 — Lifestyle
The Titanium Straw is a product with two words that you probably never thought would go together and yet, here it is.

If you go through the list of what titanium is used for, chances are straws aren't one of them. But the good folks at ThinkGeek have decided to give it a go, and they've landed on this one-of-a-kind sipper that you won't find anywhere else. Why bother with a titanium straw? For one, it's tasteless and odorless, which means it won't affect taste. It also resists from getting too hot or too cold. If for some reason straws aren't light enough for you already, it's much more lightweight and it's strong. If you've ever wanted to punch a straw through an orange or grapefruit, this baby will do just fine.
