I am a huge smoothie drinker. One of the things that I had always wished for, simple as it may be, was to have glass straws to enjoy my smoothies even more. I know it sounds weird, but I am one of those people that occasionally ended up with a green mustache... and forgot to look in the mirror before heading out of the door.
In the beginning I thought it was only wishful thinking, but with time I noticed that there in fact are glass straws out there. You can imagine how ecstatic I was when David, from GlassDharma, set me a set of their straws for a review. Like I have told you before--it does not take much to get me excited. But this is a perfect solution to the plastic pollution we are experiencing. And the straws are not only pretty, but also reusable.
Here is what David, the creator of these handmade beauties, has to say about this amazing product:
* Glass straws don’t leach toxins into your food as you drink.
* Each time you use your glass straw equals one less plastic straw ending up in your landfill.
* One glass straw replaces thousands of plastic straws. (How many times will you use a straw the rest of your life?)
* Using your glass drinking straw adds a feeling of beauty to your day.
You might not get his last statement until you actually get to use the straws yourself. But if a picture is worth a thousand words, let me try to say what I mean with one picture:
Aren't they gorgeous? [You can click on the image to see it larger.]
Since this is a product review I had to make sure that I really liked these straws. In the last few days I made a variety of different drinks and smoothies. My 80-year old Mom and I fell in love with the straws. Her favorite two are the bigger ones, as are mine. The small decorative straw is perfect for more liquid drinks and shallower glasses, but is totally fun too.
My green mustache days are over! Thank you, David! Thank you, GlassDharma!
