At first glance, they seem to be of good quality, the stainless steel looks nicely processed and polished as it should. With a flashlight and magnifying glass, unfortunately, the imperfections are revealed. The tube is made with welding, and the "bump" of the weld seam is noticeable on the inner surface. The marks on the inner surface from the rings-lines that are visible on the outside and presumably provide a better grip on the straw are also apparent. Unacceptable! All these imperfections on the inner surface make cleaning difficult and promote the growth of bacteria. The brush does the job it should, but if we have to incorporate special cleaning for our straws into our lives, in my opinion, it's not worth it! Also, if someone has a tendency to chew on straws, they should stay away from these to avoid damage to their teeth. Personally, I will continue to use them because I like the diameter they have, thin enough for freddo but also aesthetically pleasing. For juices, cocktails, etc., they are not suitable, they are too thin. The two shorter straws in the photo, I cut myself with a dremel, to make them suitable for freddo. If someone is very concerned about hygiene, I think the only solution is glass reusable straws. My impression is that this quality is the same, and each supplier simply puts their own packaging and their own "sauce" trying to sell it as expensively as possible. The same product, "generic" on a supermarket shelf or anywhere else, has one-fifth the cost of the "branded" one. This with reservation, but externally the product is identical.

Excellent, just the right length for short glasses. I use them either in a fridge or in cocktails without any issue.
