bendy straws
Articulated drinking tubes
Bendy straws are drinking straws with an accordion-like section near the top that allows the straw to bend at an angle.
The flexible joint makes drinking easier for children, hospital patients, or anyone who can't sit upright to drink.
The nurse brought him a cup of water with a bendy straw.
