I just bought a carton of Rubicon and was stunned to notice a new design in straws. Very much like the old straw but flattened and sealed shut at the drinking end, with four holes on each of the four sides (you'll have to trust me on ths sides). I've had no drippage whatsoever.

I don't have many straw drinks.

When did this happen? Is it standard? What will be next?
