This straw would have a national or company plastic flag attached high up on its side. The attachment point would be flexible, only slightly like the accordion-joint on bendable straws. The flag would continue through to a flap that would flutter in the passing liquid, causing the flag to wave.

Not to be confused with the "patriots blow" flag draped flute? |

For some strange reason, I suspect this would sell better if there was a cartoon face on the straw, and sucking made the ears wiggle. |

would the flag raise and lower with drinking? it should. check. replace flag with drowning swimmer. yes. or drowning swimmer with semaphore 'diver down' flag. double yes. |
|
| |
An alternate design could lower a tiny flag pole with furled flag from parallel to the straw to a right angle before fluttering, caused by the flap being sucked up into the fluid stream. |

The flag should read, “drinking now in progress,” or, “do not disturb,” or, “milk near nose – no jokes please.” |
