“The extra piece is annoying to keep track of. Luckily I bought a sleeve so I just tuck it in there when I want to close the lid. It could have just been a longer all silicone straw that tucked down in for when you want to close the jug instead of an extra bit to keep track of. Also if the extra piece isn't flush against the straw it's like drinking out of a straw with a crack in it.”
“This was definitely worth spending an extra bit on. I would much rather use a straw than tip the entire jug, so I find myself drinking more water in general with it!”
