A mix of 2 types of straw. Sugar cane + coconut. Coconut one is made in Vietnam and sugar cane is from Taiwan.

That was the last straw https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/656125
It is limited edition though…😅
its the straw that broke the camels back
Camels³ back
Wise you are
I wonder how hard it is to make these as lots of sugar cane in OZ ??
Raw material is not the issue. Overhead and labour cost, I suspect.
Similarly, NZ pines are shipped to the PRC for manufacturing before the furniture is shipped back to ANZ.
I was shocked to read an article some years ago that importing ice cream from the EU is cheaper to produce locally.
Shelf-life 18 months
Some reviewer say they received stock with only 4 months until expiration.
Ashes to ashes. Organic to dust. Plastics for life… sigh :-(
Metal is the way to go.
I doubt they’d turn to dust the day after expiring. Anyways a straw a day and they’ll run out 20 days prior to expiring
Yes. Probably good for kids' party. Wouldnt buy it for normal usage.
I guess commercial venue/outlet should use them.
taste like coconut or sugarcane when using these straws to drink water?
I had the coffee one from last time they did a deal and tried it with water. It just like any normal plastic straw. Definitely no coffee "aroma" or taste whatsoever
DO NOT BUY IT. I just received it today and it's expiring on the 2nd of November 2021.
Mine too. Is yours sealed? Mine arent.
Normally i am okay with it, but covid casts doubt in my mind.
No sealed. Very disappointed :(
Wonder how safe the expired straws are.
@[Deactivated]: Msged EQUO, and they have explained the expiry date will be removed, like other straws being sold. Also made recommendation to use a paper/sticker sealing the lid to the container.
Will keep mine and give it a go.
Excellent customer service.
@[Deactivated]: I messaged them a few days ago when I bought my own deal and they explained the same thing. Great CS, they even provided me with a 30% off coupon (which is 30% off the price without the 50% coupon).
Brought this deal down to $3.40
Nice dealing with them. Thanks OP
Same here. Positive vote revoked.
Just got mine this week - 2nd November 2021 expiry too….what a sham
easiest way to get some payback here is to leave a review on amazon stating the above.
This is the last straw..
