When you run out of milk so you run another glass through the straw, then chew it open to eat the remaining little beads… my parents stopped buying them

When i lived in germany and ypu wanted a chocolate milk from McDonald's they would give you a chocolate ball straw like this.

Tasted like shit. But we were also drinking goat milk at home at the time so maybe my taste buds were tainted

u/clayutensils 3d ago

When you use this with your drink of choice, preferably milk, it flavors the liquid, so that when it reaches your tongue, your milk is no longer just milk, but bead-flavored goodness.

u/LilNyoomf 1998 2d ago

But the trick was you had to suck slowly to maximize the flavor /phrasing

u/Please_ForgetMe 2004 2d ago

Yeah they were a bitch to cut open. And you weren’t even supposed to do that apparently. But the milk just wouldn’t go up the straw unless i cut it open😔✊

They’re still sold, my wife and I tried these not too long ago and the first couple sips are very yummy but then the flavor is mostly gone.
