The Straw is Annoying
I really love this cup. It’s beautiful! So much better in person—there’s some holographic glitter on there that’s just gorgeous! Con: the straw doesn’t have anything to keep it from sitting flush against the inside bottom of the cup (which makes it very hard to suck). The lid only exacerbates the problem. I’ve never had this happen with any other tumblers, but I suspect that the fact that the hole around the straw holds it so tightly that it doesn’t allow it to move, is a part of the problem. It’s very good at keeping most of the liquid in if it tips over, but that also makes it hold the straw in place against the bottom of the cup. It’s almost like it forms a suction, and you just can’t sip. With any other cup, you can just move the straw up or down easily with your mouth (and I assume this is what I do with other cups without even realizing it). But this one holds it firmly in place, so I have to physically grab it to move it up from the inside bottom of the cup. It’s annoying (I know, First World Problem). My solution was to get a non-straw lid (with the sliding hole cover). Easier said than done. I couldn’t find a replacement that fit on Amazon, so I went to Corkcicle. It was $15 ($5 with $10 shipping!). After much frustration and deliberation, I decided to just pay the ridiculous price. And then I found a code for free shipping! But then they were out of all colors but neon yellow. Fortunately, it was closer to the color of Minnie and Mickey’s shoes, so it actually looks really cute. The problem with the straw is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. The company could fix this with a slight slant to the bottom of the straw. (In the photos, the black lid is the one that came with the cup.)
