Straws are my new nemesis

So, this one time (OK, fine, last week), I decided to use a straw to drink a glass of water. And that turned out to be one of my worst decisions in recent memory. Here's why.

  1. Oh my god! That's horrible! I had no idea that drinking out of a straw can cause someone to get so much air into his or her body.

  2. Oh Jess, that sounds awful! I woudn't have made the connection either. I too had no idea that drinking from a straw means getting more air inside your body. It makes sense, I suppose, but it just isn't something I ever really thought about. I'm glad you did make the connection though, so hopefully you'll never have to go through that again.

  3. Wow, how awful. I'm glad you got through it, and I guess learned a lesson. Will the "rules" regarding drinking with meals and using straws be a permanent part of your life or is there just a certain duration during which you have to adhere to them?

  4. Sad to hear about this. But also because I am from/live in Boulder-- and wish you could have enjoyed it more.

    Did you go to the Walnut Brewery?

  5. Anon--Yes, we did! And we liked it a lot. We'll definitely be back. Just, you know, it will be a straw-free experience next time.

  6. Holy geez. That sounds ridiculously awful. But hey, look at this way, it'll (maybe?) prepare you for your first trimester of pregnancy. ;-) Seriously, though. What an awful way to spend an afternoon, I'm so glad you weren't horribly food poisoned or anything like that!

  7. Ow! And ew! And oh my!

    This kind of makes me wonder though about all of those toddlers drinking out of straws because they can't handle the glass.
