The 'Ice Straw' is a handy solution for consumers looking to avoid conventional plastic straws and reusable options in favor of a drinking accessory that will melt after use. The straws can be made with the mold, which only needs to be filled with water before being tossed into the freezer to have them ready for your next drink. The ice straws are perfect for chilling down a drink and offers a great alternative to paper straws that become soggy with use.
The 'Ice Straw' comes in three sizes to choose from including Classic, Cocktail and Boba, which are perfectly sized for their respective drinks or everyday use. The straw molds are being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign individually or in sets of three.
