Krazy Design Flaw
April 24, 2011
Remember Krazy-Straws?
I do.
A fond child of the 70's memory...Saturday mornings filled with HR Puff N Stuff, School House Rock and commercials for must have items like the KRAZY-STRAW.
The Krazy-Straw. Not your run of the mill straw. So much more than a bendy straw. A swirling, twirling pipeline of fun that turned drinking your milk (or orange flavored Tang in my case) into a game!
Who could resist slurping liquid through an intertwining maze of loop-de-looped plastic tubing?
That 15 second delay while your red dye #5 Kool Aid traveled to your lips was high entertainment back then.
I had one once...
until it gunked up with milk from my bowl of Fruit Loops
and my mother insisted on tossing it in the trash.
**bittersweet memories**
When I came across Krazy-Straw GLASSES (arguably the craziest Krazy-Straw of them all) in the Target dollar bins a wave of nostalgia swirled around me and I knew they had to be added to the kid's Easter baskets.
And a generation later they are still a hit.
Except clearly they are made for a big kid face.
Not to worry.
Design flaw corrected...
Happy Easter!
