"Drainnnnnage! Drainage, you boy. Drain dried, I'm so sorry. Hey! If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw — there it is, that's the straw — my straw reaches ACROSS the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I. Drink. Your. MILKSHAKE! *slurrrrrrrrrp* I drink it all up!"

And from designers Frank Frisari and John McCoy, the ultimate constructible straw set... perfect for draining many milkshakes simultaneously, no matter where they might be, from any room in the house. Only $14.95. As endorsed by Daniel Plainview.

These should have been a pack-in for the collector's edition of Bioshock. The tagline is obvious: Bioshakes unlock your full potential!.

I started saying that quote to myself when I saw the picture on my friend's screen across the room, only to find I had been preempted! Well played, Brownlee.

Got these from ThinkGeek a while back. They are too narrow, barely any throughput. It's hard enough to drink water out of them, forget about milkshakes. Cool idea, but useless implementation.

This fills me with an overwhelming urge to play Pipe Dream.

But what if mine is better than yours? Hell yeah, it's better than yours.

Daniel Plainview: the most badass misanthropist _EVER_ ;-) I bask in that movie's awesomeness and musical citations of Arvo Paert. So good.

I used to do that as a child with normal straws, from our kitchen to my room.

The milkshake that can be drunk through a straw is not the real milkshake.

OK, I guess if you use one of those fat straws from a tapioca-drink place you might be able to make a dent in a decently thick milkshake, but regular straws simply can't, and any company that mass-produces polymerized milk products that can fit through the drinking straws they use for soda is producing things that are almost, if not quite entirely, unlike milkshakes.

Okay, I'm no physicist, right, but the problem with this thing is that it takes so much suction to actually drink anything through it that you run the serious risk of the dreaded backsuck phenomenon, which could conceivably end up with your brain in that water bottle. Which isn't as much fun as it might sound.
