Dicky sipping straws - gags discontinued by Pipedream - review by Jul!a

What is it and what can it do for me?

This is a novelty straw, and it can provide hours of entertainment for you and your friends. Its best place is going to be at a bachelorette party or among a group of people who find tiny penises amusing.

What does the packaging look like?

About what you'd expect for something that holds penis shaped straws. The top cardboard part says what it is and how many are inside, and the back of that says that it's from Pipedream. The straws themselves are housed in a plastic bag that can double as storage in between uses.

So tell me more about them. How many are in the package? What are they made of? How well do they work?

There are 10 of these in each package. When you pull one out you'll notice that the top 2 1/2" or so is shaped like a realistic penis, balls and everything. There's a well defined head, veins down the shaft, and even a pair of balls. All the balls are really good for here though is catching whatever you were drinking, which might not be a bad thing if you've finished your delicious drink and discover that there's just a small taste left. The other 5" is just straw shaft that doesn't do anything more exciting than bring your tasty drink to you.

As a straw it works surprisingly well, at least better than I had anticipated that it might. There's no getting around really wrapping your lips around this thing though. Gingerly sucking on the head won't work, you have to really work the shaft and suck to be rewarded with your delicious beverage of choice.

Each straw is made of plastic and while it can be cleaned, it may not be the most effective use of your time. I think the best way to clean them would be to fill a sink with warm soapy water and swish it around in there, then rinse and let air dry. As for storage, back in the bag they came in or in another plastic bag is what I'd recommend.

Got any pictures?

I've got one of the top portion to share with you!

This was another of the few bachelorette party items I brought with me to the last one, and the bride absolutely loved it. Before we even got where we were going, it was in her Sonic cup that may or may not have been half alcohol. The straws were a huge hit all night, and I'd buy them again for another party.
