Longer Length Drinking Straws
Early Drinking Straws were simply natural rye grass straws but by the late 19th century this had started to change. In 1888 Marvin Stone patented the first spiral wound paper drinking straws. Stone already had a successful cigarette holder manufacturing plant but applied his existing technology to this new product concept. In only a couple of years the production of paper straws would be the dominant product within the business. By 1906 the business introduced the first machine into the production of Drinking Straws, replacing the hand wound process. Research carried out by Stone found the ideal length of Drinking Straw to be 8.5 inches in length and narrow enough to prevent blockages by such items as lemon pips!
Such product development ultimately led to the proliferation of plastic drinking straws, those that we know are available today. Today Drinking Straws are available in a variety of sizes, widths and colours, even shapes. With a wide range of standard Drinking Straws being readily available through high street retailers at very low prices, the internet is usually used to locate drinking straws with a very specific difference.
