Create fun fluid delivery contraptions

Strawz are officially intended for children over six. However, these connectible drinking straws are a lot of fun even if you've graduated grade school.

Below are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

Suggestion #1: The Double-Sipper

With "The Double-Sipper", you and a friend can gaze longingly into each other's eyes while enjoying a tasty beverage.

Share a drink with Strawz
Share your favorite drink with your favorite person with Strawz.

Suggestion #2: The Baker's Half-Dozen

Even after building a straw that can pull liquid from seven drinks simultaneously, you'll still have ten connectors and eight straws left over.

Using Strawz to drink from 7 cups at one time
With just one set of Strawz, you can easily drink from seven beverages simultaneously.

Get creative with the large selection of connectors and straws

Each set of Strawz includes twenty connectors and twenty-four straws. Here's the breakdown:

  • (8) straight extensions / joins
  • (4) "U"-shaped pieces
  • (4) elbow joints
  • (2) "T"-intersections
  • (2) four-way intersections
  • (12) short straws (3" long)
  • (12) long straws (5" long)

Package of Strawz Drinking Straws
Create elaborate designs with the 24 straws and 20 connectors included in each set of Strawz.

Simple, fun, and easy to use

While being able to slurp from seven drinks simulatenously is pretty awesome, it's not incredibly practical. However, being practical isn't the litmus test for fun and addictive toys, now is it? (Hula Hoop and Skip-it, we're looking in your direction.)

Face it, there's just something fun about watching liquid careen through a network of randomly connected tubes as you drink it. Thankfully, it's simple to create your masterpieces. Just push the pieces together!

Simply join the plastic straws to the rubbery connecting pieces to create fun straw designs.

Your questions that have been answered by the Vat19.com staff

Q: If i buy two sets can I take over the world of beverages as we know it??
A: Hm, I'm not sure just two sets will do it, but you can certainly try!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How do I wash the strawz after sipping thru them? Can I just run them under some hawt water?
A: Yes, that should work just fine. If they're a bit gunky from sitting around for a while, you can soak them in warm soapy water and then rinse them off.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I'm thinking about getting this for my 6 year old cousin, do you think he is old enough for this?
A: Yes, we think a 6-year-old is old enough to put Strawz together and use them. The recommended age is 6+ years old.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: whats with the two guys sharing "a special moment"?kinda creepy if ya ask me...
A: Yay! Mission accomplished.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: does it come with a manual on how to do the double dipper and others?
A: There are a few design ideas on the packaging, but no step-by-step instructions. This is where your own ingenuity comes in!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: are the strawz made out of rubber
A: No. The straight straw pieces are made of polypropelyne, and the connectors (which feel rubbery) are made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Both are common food-grade plastics.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will you marry me strawz?
A: We can't speak for Strawz, and actually, the Strawz can't speak for themselves. But, we can say that once you purchase a set, they're all yours.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: It says they are dishwasher safe, but I have a feeling if I just put them in my dishwasher they would fly around and I would have straw bits melted to the bottom. Any recommended ways to wash them?
A: If you'd like to wash the Strawz in the dishwasher, you'll need to put them in a small netted bag to prevent the pieces from being tossed around and lost in the washer. Alternatively, you can soak them in a bowl with warm soapy water for a bit and then rinse them off with warm water.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: if i get a lime and blue will they connect with each other?
A: Yes, they certainly will.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Will the strawz improve my chances with the ladies?
A: If you develop some mad Strawz skillz, we think it could be quite impressive. You never know!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: can you make them in more color's?
A: Sorry, but the Strawz are currently only available in lime and blue.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How could I get a giftcard for my friend? Do you guys take Visa giftcards?
A: At this time, Vat19 does not offer our own giftcards, but we can accept Visa giftcards.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: can these straws be washed?
A: Yes, you can place them in the dishwasher. Although, because they are such small pieces, we recommend putting them all in a small netted bag before putting them in the dishwasher. That way all the pieces will stay together. Alternatively, you can soak them in warm soapy water and just rinse them off.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How r u guys so awesome?
A: We'd like to say we were born awesome, but it actually took years of practice. Although we must say that we think our customers are way more awesome than us!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: are you planning to make other colors of this like PINK?
A: Currently, we only carry the Strawz in Blue and Lime.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Why are they not recommended for children under 6? I would like to buy them for some 4 and 5 year olds.
A: The only reason the Strawz are not recommended for children under six is the small pieces in the set. There is a risk of children swallowing the small connectors. However, with proper adult supervision, four and five-year-olds should be able to use and enjoy them with no problems.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: If you have a hat with big pockets to hold soda can you use them to make a drinking hat
A: We don't see why not. Get creative with your Strawz - that's what they're for!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: which ones bought more? the lime or the blue.
A: They're pretty even, actually.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No
