DIY drinking straws fill kids with fluids
All drinks taste better when you make your own straws, say the folks at thinkgeek.com of their DIY Drinking Strawz. Intended for adults, I imagine, these straws -- you buy the parts, then put together at home -- made an appearance in the April issue of kids magazine Wonder time. No doubt, this contraption could be pretty cool for the little ones in your life. Wonder time suggests you use the DIY Strawz for this refreshing watermelon drink. Feel free to substitute another fruit for the melon if you wish.
- Puree two cups diced watermelon and two cups water in blender
- Pour into pitcher
- Stir in another cup of water -- or more to best match your taste
- If not sweet enough for you, add 1/8 cup sugar
- Chill for one hour
- Pour over ice and serve

Does it come with something to clean the bends with?
I bought a cool super bent up straw once for my child. I threw it in the dishwasher assuming that would get it clean. After the wash I could see the leftover drink still stuck in the bends. I only buy disposable ones now - just too yuck for me.
