Extend-A-Straw, a metal drinking straw, caters to those who would like a little glamour while reaching the bottom of any drink.  Regular straws are often too short for the drink they come with, causing them to fall into the drink and out of reach; a terrible design.  With a telescoping mechanism created with brass tube, the straw extends over two feet.  The foolishly long extension calls attention to the pettiness of the problem.
