Milk straws - Are they available in the US?

I need to know if I should take some with me or can I just buy them there.

moped replied: You mean Sipahhhh's - I bought some here and they taste like asparatane (sp) - ewwwww. Jack didn't even like them

But they really are a neat idea!

redplaydoh replied: Yes, Sipahh straws... they're the same name here. I haven't tried them, but the kids like them. One less thing to pack!

ewww that is nasty

I knew it

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener known by the trade name Splenda and the generic Altern. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E955. It is 320 to 1,000 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar),[2] making it roughly twice as sweet as saccharin and four times as sweet as aspartame. Unlike aspartame it is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions and can be used in baking or in products that require a longer shelf life

Kaitlin'smom replied: they have them at walgreens here in ohio

amynicole21 replied: I usually don't mind things with Splenda, but I hate the rest of the sweeteners.

Not sure if they kids even like flavored milk Might have to try it out.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Kelloggs makes them too. I saw them in the cereal aisle at our grocery store.

lesliesmom replied: Thank you ladies! DD got one of these in a goody bag at a birthday party and loved them. Been trying to find them so now I know where to look!

Brias3 replied: The kids LOVED LOVED LOVED these while we were still living in Europe. I should have bought up a whole stock before we moved. Similar items I've found here aren't quite the same.
