I am wanting to find the straws like what Duff uses for support in his cake..Does anyone know where I can get them ?

They are bubble tea straws and you can get them at Asian markets or on ebay. Do a google search and you will also find them elsewhere.

That is what I thought they were !! Thank you very much !! I will do that

I just googled it ..are they all the same size or is there different sizes ?

They are all the same size as far as I know.

Most of the cheaper suppliers on net aren't in the US, this is a supplier I found on Ebay that's in the US, and it only takes a few days to get to you.

And there are different sizes....seen some 6" to 8" long. Also, there are different diameters from 1/4" to 1/2" I think you'd need the 1/2" straws which are REALLY hard and sturdy.

HTH

Ty very much !! This is great ..I will be order some to get stocked up !!

Ok, today I went to the Asian Market and they had the straws with unpointed ends and it was 50 in the pack for $1.35!!! If you have an Asian Market near, check with them first.

HTH

Oh , I will have to find and Asian Market in my Area and check that out !!! TY

Are they called that because they are fat/wide?...like if you go to Mc donalds you get the thin straws, but if you go to whataburger, they have those fat straws?....

Im kind of lost on this dumb question....lol

They are called Bubble tea straws because they are specificly made for Bubble tea. (Boba Tea) It is an Asian drink that has tapioca balls in it and the straws have to be big enough for the balls to go through and thick enough to not collapse when sucking them up. LOL

BUBBLE STRAWS 101....Thanks now I know what and why they are called that....
