A food-safe paper straw, including an outer tubular element made of paper material which extends along a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal insert made of paper material positioned inside the outer tubular element and stably connected to an inner surface of the outer tubular element, said insert having a profile, in transversal cross section, defined by a line at least partly corrugated and/or partly broken in such a way as to increase the bending strength of the straw, wherein said insert is stably connected to the inner surface of the outer tubular element in at least two connecting zones, preferably at least three connecting zones, angularly spaced from each other about said longitudinal axis.

A drinking straw is integrally formed of a food-grade plastic material, is flexible and comprises a sheet body, a first engaging portion, and a second engaging portion. The first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are respectively formed on two side edges of the sheet body, and the sheet body can be wound into a tubular shape to enable the first engaging portion to engage with the second engaging portion to form a suction channel in the drinking straw. Consumers can clean an inner part of the drinking straw by disengaging the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion. The drinking straw of the present invention can be cleaned easily, can reduce the cost of manufacture, and can improve suction efficiency.

A foldable reusable drinking straw in the shape of a tube is provided. The tube has a tubular wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, and a wall thickness therebetween. The inner surface defines a bore with a generally constant inner diameter. The tube has a first end and a second end, and a plurality of annular grooves in the outer surface of the wall to reduce the wall thickness of the tubular wall at each of the plurality of annular grooves for bending the tube. The wall thickness of the tube from the first end to the second end, except for the plurality of annular grooves, is generally constant. The tube also has an angular transition between the first end and the second end.

A container cover assembly with a stopper member having an outer sidewall of an elastically deformable material and a flange member extending radially outward from the outer sidewall, an inner cap member with the upper surface having the flange member of the stopper member seated thereon, the inner cap member operably configured to selectively and removably couple with a complementary threaded configuration on a conventional liquid container, wherein the stopper member is configured to seal with the upper end of the container. A collar member is coupled to the inner cap member and designed to retain a flexible straw member, wherein a protective cap member is configured to rotate with respect to the collar member to cover and retain the flexible straw member.

The various devices and systems herein include oropharyngeal exercise devices having a pump bulb with a bulb body having a flow restriction structure with a restricted configuration in which the flow restriction structure is configured to restrict the flow of fluid through the lumen such that the user must apply a force to increase the flow of the fluid. Other devices include containers and/or lids thereof with the bulbs attached to or integrated therein.

The present invention relates to a non-removable drinking straw device primarily comprised of a straw body and a locking member, wherein the locking member is further comprised of a locking notch and at least one vertical slit that forms at least one retention member on the locking member body. The locking member sits around the straw such that the straw and a portion of the locking member can be placed inside a juice box or a juice pouch. Once partially inside the juice box or pouch, the locking member can be pushed down on the straw body and locked into position by manipulating a protrusion of the straw body within the locking notch. In the deployed position, the retention members extend outwards from the body of the locking member such that the locking member hits the top wall of the juice box or juice pouch.

The invention is a rubber chugging device that can be stretched to fit over the top of a beer bottle or can to allow the drinker an easier way to “chug” a beverage. There will be a rubber straw-like tube in each device that allows air to escape while the consumer drinks.
