Firefly Bicycles, a manufacturer in the
USA has become an unlikely beneficiary of the drinks industry’s anti-plastic
movement after it decided to sell straws made from leftover tubing. One
particularly hot day as we were churning through iced drinks to stay cool, we
decided to turn scrap tubing into titanium drinking straws. No you can buy
them! Custom lengths, colors, and bends,
Titanium Straws are SOLD OUT! The response
has been overwhelming! We have used up 7.5 years worth of titanium scrap in
less than 24 hours! As we generate more scrap that can be turned into more straws
we will make these available again and broadcast their availability. STAY
TUNED! And thanks for your support!!
The benefits of these straws are threefold. You can avoid the use of plastic straws and
stop contributing to the over 500 million (per day) of ONE TIME USE plastic
straws that end up in landfills. These
straws are a by-product of our internal cable routing option and re bound for
the scrapper. With a little elbow grease we turn this scrap into something
useful that lives on to make the world a better place. Finally, they are just

The 10" size is best for 22 oz. glasses. The 8" size is best for a
classic 16 oz. pint glass. The 5"
size is best for tumbers and we recommend that those be purchased without a
bend. They are classier that way. These
titanium straws are MADE TO ORDER, just like our bikes. You can pick the
length, the color and whether you want it bent or straight.
Once again: These are MADE TO ORDER! We do
not stock finished straws. We squeeze them into our production schedule when we
have a free moment between bike builds so be patient. Generally we are
predicting that they will ship in 2 or so weeks. You can order them at https://fireflybicycles.com/store#!/Titanium-Drinking-Straw/p/111910296/category=3031075 … International
