ABSTRACT:
A device for preventing an unpalatable liquid from reaching tastebuds of a user ingesting the liquid which includes a straw with open ends and a sponge positioned adjacent to one of the open ends. In preparation for use, the sponge is dipped into a flavorful drink then placed in the user's mouth with the open end of the straw at the rear of the mouth remote from the taste buds which are located in the tip of the tongue at the front of the mouth. The sponge, saturated with flavorful liquid, prevents the unpalatable liquid from reaching the tastebuds which are located at the tip of the tongue. The unpalatable liquid goes directly into the gullet. The tube may be flexible or have a flexible section for greater convenience. A screen may be provided which shields the container of unpalatable liquid from the view of the user.
