Our Story
Many smoothie shops made the progressive decision to switch to paper straws but quickly reverted back to plastic straws as the paper ones would get soggy. Some customers like myself take more than 30 minutes to finish a smoothie. In that time, the paper straw gets soggy and breaks off. I was sipping my smoothie, catching up with a friend when this happened in December 2018.
I grabbed another paper straw to put in my smoothie and had to open the cup to take out the straw which got a tad messy. This is when I realized there should be extra padding at the intersection of the straw and the lid since that is where it breaks off, so I created the tube. This added protection would prevent straw breakage while being eco-friendly.
The PaperSips straw remedies this problem.
