Whatever happened to the Crazy Straw?

The Economy, that's what happened.





Scenario - Mom and 2 kids go grocery shopping.

Kid 1 - Mommy, Mommy can we get Crazy Straws instead of regular this time?

Mom - In this economy?

Kid 2 - Please Mommy, I love it when my juice does a loop de-loop before entering my cavity infested mouth.

Mom - Shut the fuck up Bobby, you'll drink out of a regular straw and you'll like it.

Thus, another family and industry are ruined thanks to the Economy.
