Three cans in the garage and not one sodding straw! Any cheap spares?

For future: cut the straw into 3 bits, keep in lid, win at life

I've got four or five in the chainstays of the hardtail.

You can have them if you can get them. 🙂

There's loads in store of your choice. Time to learn thieving skills. Let us know how it goes.

Biro ink tube. Heat the end over a flame and draw it out a bit thinner. At some point down the taper where you cut it off it will fit in correctly. The GT85 will clean the ink through. [/Blue Peter]

Won't be a problem tbh, would take about 20 seconds. Downsides? None for me anyway.

Take them back to where you bought them from and complain about the missing straws.

Have a look in the pile of dust in the garage. They are usually on the floor somewhere.

When ever I finish a bottle I save the straw. I know I have loads somewhere but it usually just the one on the bottle.

I'm amazed nobody's told the OP that he shouldn't be using GT85 yet.

If you see any kids drinking a carton of calypso juice, mug them. The little straws that come with the carton fits perfectly.

Aren't we supposed to be using paper straws now?
For the environment and stuff

If I could buy a 50 pack, I would. Or get a GT85 or Plusgas tin with the genius WD40 straw thinger.
