ABSTRACT:
A retraction resistant straw of a generally cylindrical construction having a retaining tab having one edge secured to the outer periphery of the cylinder of the straw substantially parallel to the cylinder's longitudinal axis. A retaining edge from the tab extends radially from the cylinder. The tab is flexible and may be laid about the outer periphery of the straw when same is inserted into a disposable juice carton, and will return to a relaxed position so that the retaining surface will engage the inside of the upper wall of a juice carton when a child or other user attempts to retract same. An alternate embodiment having a circular retaining edge which is the bottom of a truncated cone coaxial with the straw is also shown.
