    Oh no. I can’t relive the childhood frustration of being unable to access that sweet nectar shielded behind an impenetrable puncture-proof material with no tools to work with but the flimsiest of mini plastic straws.

      They even made one of the ends of the straw pointy to give the false illusion that you can easily stick it in. Of course, all it did was puncture a hole so tiny that the straw (that had been bent several times already) couldn’t go in, so you just sucked the juice out of the package with your mouth.

      I don’t know about over there, but here they’ve started selling them with paper straws. Making it even more impossible to puncture that stupid little hole while ruining the straw in the process.

      And of course it’s the only thing my daughter wants to drink. I’ve had to resort to using a nail file to open those things.

        I hate paper straws. There are many different compostable straws and paper is about the worst.

          It’s like a game now. Can you finish the entire pouch before the straw disintegrates? Stay tuned to find out.
