Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020053905A1] A drinking straw and method for the production thereof is disclosed which is characterised by the fact that the said drinking straw is essentially constituted of a body (2) endowed with a hole (20) which runs therethrough and a mouthpiece (3) provided for engaging therewith at one end of the body, wherein the said body (2) consists of a frozen liquid of the type fit for consumption, such as water. fruit juices, soft drinks, liqueurs, etc., and the said mouthpiece (3) is composed of a stopper (30) consisting of a disk envisaged to cover the upper part of the body (2) with a small, internally hollow projection (31 ) - envisaged to fit into the through-hole of the body (2) - on one side and an internally hollow cylindrical portion (32) on the other side, which is the part that is placed in the user's mouth. In particular, in addition to performing the function of a tube for drinking a beverage via suction, the drinking straw also allows the said beverage to be cooled, being used instead of conventional ice cubes or in combination therewith; above all, however, the said drinking straw allows the liquid to be kept cooled and/or to be cooled also when running through the body 2 composed of frozen liquid, which means a consumer ingests a perfectly cool or cold drink.
