Is there a place on line to order the bubble tea straws? I use dowels-with no problems-but they hurt my hand tring to cut them!

I haven't used the bubble tea straws yet, but I watch Sharon Zambito's videos and she has a great one on Successful Stacking. (she's also a CC member!) and she utilizes them. I would like to try them. Also, the SPS. Where do you get them? I think I may have some I picked up somewhere 2nd hand? But are they disposable or just the legs of them? Any info on this would be helpful. I use wooden dowels now and don't like them. I don't like the splintering and the uneveness of them. thanks!

i like the long red straws you get at racetrac or macdonalds, the ends are already cut straight so i only have to make one cut, i got bubble tea straws from TenTea, they're alot bigger around but neither end is squarely cut and even though you can cut them easily with scissors making that a straight cut is tricky, unless im missing something here!

I have a friend who uses straws for her cake business, but only MacDonalds straws because they are sturdier.
