The device clamps onto the top of a fast-food milkshake cup; the combination of a robust pump at the bottom of the shaft and positive pressure in the cup helps move the near-solid, flavoured plastic up the pipe; it starts pumping when it detects a low-pressure condition at the upper end of the straw.

Available models include "Offshore Oil Rig" and "Texas Pumpjack". § x1
