ABSTRACT:
A straw is formed by a hollow upper part, a hollow lower part and an enlargement provided between the hollow upper and lower parts. The lower part extends into the enlargement to define a space therein between the hollow lower part and the enlargement. The hollow upper part opens into the enlargement above this space. With this construction, after the straw has been used to draw a beverage from a container, the space in the enlargement will remain filled with a portion of the beverage.
