“I have never taken a sip directly from the jug spout because I love these straws so much. I add one to every order just in case, even though my first one is still good as new a year later. I love how the plain white goes with any and every jugsleeve combo, so it'll always be my go to! I've always loved how the design allows it pop up when the spout opens, and then push down to close. Just something else to love from Hydrojug!”
