Do the short straws have a different diameter than the tall ones?

Since these are 100% natural grass stalks, there is a slight natural variation in diameter (typically 4mm to 6mm). However, we hand-sort our batches to ensure that both the Short and Tall straws are "standard" width—perfect for thin liquids like cocktails and water, though not intended for thick smoothies or shakes.

Will the short 5-inch straws get soggy if they sit in a drink longer?

No. One of the primary benefits of hedge grass over paper is its durability. Whether it's the 5-inch or the 7.75-inch version, the grass is naturally water-resistant. It will stay rigid and functional for several hours in a cocktail without collapsing or changing the flavor of the drink.

Can I cut the tall straws down to make short ones?

While you can cut them with sharp shears, we don't recommend it for a professional environment. Cutting natural grass can sometimes cause the ends to splinter or crack if not done with industrial precision. Purchasing the 5-inch Short Straws ensures clean, machine-cut edges that are safe and smooth for your guests.
