    Why the fuck didn’t Twizzlers capitalise on the non-plastic straw market?!

        I dunno man, the whole point of using a Twizzler as a straw is that you eat it after…

        Imagine if, instead of showing bling replacement teeth, rappers posed for photos with Twizzlers in their mouths. Craig Charles surely would have looked different.

          Well, you do make a good point. Plus, there’s that much less evidence left behind. Snort on homie, you’re clearly more experienced than me… 👍

            I just fucking love liquorice. Whether or not it tastes like bank notes makes no difference.

            It’s when you take the morning rush to the office and smell a pang of bank notes that I start asking questions. That’s not cologne, yet some people wear it as such.

        I used to drink root beer out of the licorice red vines, those held up quite well. Though, the lart was around seven years ago. I haven’t seen blaok red vines in ages around these parts.

        Have no idea if the red ones would have held up. Never liked those too much, heh, and other than root beer, birch beer, I’d drink coffee instead.

        Absolutely.

        Although I imagine some sort of German engineered version, where the hole isn’t all that big but somehow maintains structural integrity yet significant flow rate.

        The life we could’ve had if McDonalds didn’t dictate things.

          Sorry, fluid mechanics doesn’t work that way.

            I dunno man, I have a few German vapes protected by patents that seem to work alright. Their first patent expired a few years ago, however patents for their portable vapes won’t expire until 2035, but there’s surely some scope to make something transformative before then.

              I’m not familiar enough with vapes (German or otherwise) to understand how they’re related to using Twizzlers as straws.

                Because the vape I’m talking about has a trick heatsink inside that it uses to heat air up to the desired temperature, without massively restricting airflow.
