I purchased these paper straws after seeing the needless loss of animals attributed to plastic straws. These are paper, but they are sturdy, and hold up better than other paper straws that I have used. If they last until Christmas, I have some cool wreath ideas for these! These variety is red and green stripes, althogh other colors are available. I would recommend these due to the environmental advantage and good quality. #Zinnor #Sponsored #RankBoosterReview
