The basics
What is a Skinny Straw?
A drinking straw with a natural flavour lining on the inside. Drop it into a cold drink and the flavour and vitamins infuse as you sip. No powder, no syrup, no washing up.
How do I use it?
One straw into roughly 250 ml (about 8 oz) of any cold drink. Sip and enjoy. Use each straw once and don't chew it — it's designed for a single drink.
How many straws in a box?
Ten.
How big is a straw?
180 mm long and 8 mm across, with rolled ends so it's comfortable to drink from.
What's in it
How much vitamin is actually in one straw?
100% of the daily value of all three: 16 mg of vitamin B3, 5 mg of B5 and 1.3 mg of B6. Full breakdown on our Nutrition & Ingredients page.
Is it really zero sugar and zero calories?
Yes. Zero grams of sugar, and 0.6 calories per straw — which rounds to zero under US labelling rules. The sweetness comes from stevia and monk fruit.
What's it made of?
The straw is plant-sourced cellulose acetate, approved for direct food contact and home compostable. The lining is natural flavour, guar gum, stevia, citric acid, monk fruit and the three B vitamins. The wrapper is a compostable PLA film.
Are there allergens?
No. Skinny Straws are free from all fourteen major allergens — gluten, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, peanuts, sesame, soy, sulphites, lupin, molluscs, celery and mustard are all absent. They're also GMO free.
Is it Kosher or Halal?
Not yet. Both are applicable to the product but certification isn't complete, so we won't claim it until it is.
Using them
What drinks do they work in?
Any cold drink. They're designed for cold beverages, so hot drinks aren't what they're built for.
How long does the flavour last?
Each straw is made for one drink. You'll get the most from it in the first few minutes, so it's best used when your drink is poured rather than left sitting.
Can I reuse one?
No — single use only. Once a straw is unwrapped, use it within 24 hours.
Is it really compostable?
Yes, home compostable, straw and wrapper both. No industrial facility needed.
Storage
How long do they keep?
24 months. Store them somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight — below 20°C and under 50% humidity. Every straw carries a batch number and best-before date.
