A short history of drink straws.

Thousands of years ago, people started using wheat and rye stems to sip their favorite beverages. About a hundred and forty years ago, paper straws were invented. After that, plastic straws took over. Then a sea turtle got hurt. Time to get rid of plastic straws. Let's get back to nature with all-natural Farm to Table RealStraw drink straws and stir sticks.
Life of a sea turtle... I was just swimming along and then...BOOM! OW!
The BIG RIG! My 1952 Ford 8N tractor pulls my 1940's era McCormick Deering reaper binder. The greatest generation designed equipment that still runs eighty years later. GOD BLESS FARMERS! Every single one I met on this journey was incredibly hard working and helpful. JUST ONE MORE THING: REALSTRAWS ARE FOR DRINKING ONLY! DO NOT EAT! ALSO, THEY TEST AS GLUTEN FREE BECAUSE THE GLUTEN IS CONCENTRATED IN THE SEED HEAD, AND THE REALSTRAWS ARE ACTUALLY THE STEMS. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. IF YOU HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES, DON"T USE THESE STRAWS.
