These are much thicker than I was expecting. It’s almost like a rice pasta, like a larger dried rice bucatini that you sip through. Which is fine in terms of use and texture, and I don’t think that would bother me, however because the product resembles pasta, it does mean the item is also brittle like pasta. So a few of the straws were already broken when they arrived. That could have something to do with the fact that the package was open already as seen in the photo. It’s very deliberately opened and torn at the perforation meant to be the opening to retrieve the straws. Which is nice in essence, but I’m annoyed that this product appears used. I did count and all 50 straws are still in the package (now, less the broken 2 or 3) and I just don’t have the energy to do a return or exchange for this when I intend to use the item tomorrow. I will say a prayer over my straws and assume what’s the worst someone could have possibly done with these biodegradable straws before they got to me…. Overall underwhelmed and a little annoyed with this package and delivery but seems fine enough and I’m sure it will work. Interested to see how they hold up after being submerged in a beverage for a few hours and if there is any taste or aftertaste.
Lastly and unrelated to the product, Amazon noted that the delivery was handed to a resident. Untrue. It was on my front porch when I returned home. Not an issue… just mentioning for my overall review of this item and delivery.
I probably wouldn’t order again just because I was expecting something slightly different and will likely try to find a product a little thinner and a little closer resembling plastic.

My toddler likes to use straws to drink. I bought these straws for him to use for its fun colors and because they were biodegradable; however, they aren't safe for kids. Didn't expect them break like glass. Also some were already broken in the box when they arrived. This product may work for a home with adults but not children.
