Where to find a clear straw???

[torinsmom]

My DS13 needs some supplies to make a barometer for science class. He needs a CLEAR straw. I have looked everywhere for a clear straw. All I kind find are neon, or the white with a colored stripe down it. I am thinking maybe some fast food place has clear ones. Does anyone know where to find a clear straw, because we are out of ideas and DS will lose points if he doesn't have the supplies tomorrow.

Chick-fil-a's straws are clear.

Cracker Barrel has clear ones I think.
Oh and any bar should have clear ones!(although I suppose you should hit that without your son)

Starbucks, maybe? Or are just their cold cups clear?

I think Taco Bell's straws are clear. Same with Del Taco.

Oh just thought of something else- those sippy cups that have pop up straws are clear! (more expensive than a freebie but if you are desperate)

Chuck e cheese has clear straws, at least here they do. The local movie theater does as well.

That is where I remember drinking out of a clear straw lately! Phew! I was going nuts trying to figure it out.

Thanks! I will try Wendy's on our way to school. There's an Arby's too, but I don't remember what color their straws are. Anybody know for sure what color Starbuck's are? There is one right by the school.

Starbucks are green.

Chick-fil-a's straws are clear.

Yup. Was just there today.

Subway has clear straws. I *think* Wendy's straws are red. McDonalds are white with stripes.

It is sad that I know even this much.

 

[denisekayt]

Panera Bread has clear straws in our area.

 

[Momof2princess]

Subway has clear straws, I was just there tonight.

 

[MerryPoppins]

I'd call around and check before setting out. They may think you're a little crazy, but it can't hurt to ask, right?

 

[torinsmom]

Okay, Subway, but they aren't open in the morning, UGH! Pannera Bread is way out of the way. Maybe a gas station with self-serve soda? I'm gonna try that.

I think the sippy cup straws would be too heavy for the project.

Thanks for all your help. I can't believe so many people know so much about straws!
