"Great message and nice execution, but $30 recommended retail!?Here is literally the first entry on ebay.com for stainless straw (8 straws and 3 cleaners for $4.16):https://www.ebay.com/itm/8Pcs-Stainless-Steel-Metal-Drinking-Straw-Straws-with-3-Cleaner-Brush-Kit-Tools/182976399573?epid=25011348025&hash=item2a9a3e48d5:g:lWEAAOSwevlaPGzD Not as convenient and gimmicky as the folding one, but completely plastic-free and probably longer lasting (no moving parts or TPE to wear out over time)."
