Wouldn't it make the straw melty?

me!

plaidearthworm only if its too hot to drink

I actually use the little hollow stir sticks; they're made for the heat

blessed, true

Aaaaah. Never thought of it. But then again, I usually ice that tea right on down.

Except for the ginger tummy tea. It tastes nasty when iced. Brrr!

I've never done that. I always figured the straw would melt.

I started doing that so I could drink and drive and still see the road...

it works, you just have to start out drinking very slowly...

I started doing it because if you suck it slowly enough, it cools some in the straw and doesn't burn your mouth.
