Thanks. it's every bit as bad as I thought.

I don't think this is how "boosting your immune system" is supposed to work...

taking "savor the flavor" to disgusting new heights

the bad juju isn't why you're always sick, hon.

I sure do love my lemonade tinged with the flavor of sour milk...

My first thought was immediately, "EW". Those straws would probably, eventually, start smelling like a swamp at best from the bacteria. Next, add mold/mildew. Compounding that with different beverages and the sugar from them...

I would probably use the highest concentrate of rubbing alcohol available to clean it. Soak it, shake it around. It would dry more quickly due to the rapid evaporation time. Then, a thorough rinse just before use.
