soda straws
Hollow sipping cylinders
Soda straws are thin, hollow tubes used to drink beverages by suction.
The term also applies to similarly shaped natural formations—slender, hollow stalactites in caves that form as water drips through limestone, leaving mineral deposits that build downward ring by ring: The cave ceiling was covered with delicate soda straws.
