ABSTRACT:
A method of making a drinking straw includes the steps of selecting a flat material suitable for making a drinking straw, printing indicia on the flat material in a position to form the end portions of the straw so that each end of the straw will have indicia indicating a different type of drink thereon and then forming the flat material into a straw with indicia on each end indicating a different type of drink, such as a diet or regular cola, so that a straw can distinguish a drink by the end of the straw protruding from the drink container. The straw can also be color coded and can be printed on an elongated flat material which is spiraled on a mandrel to form the straw. A straw wrapper can be imprinted on both ends in a similar manner and one end pulled back leaving the indicia on the other end.
