Milkshake Paper Straws: Diameter, Strength and Sampling
Milkshake and smoothie applications require a wider flow path and stronger construction than general beverage service. Product selection should reflect viscosity, ice content, fruit pieces, cup size and the time between preparation and consumption.

Why is a wider straw needed?
A wider internal channel reduces flow resistance in viscous drinks.
Can one size serve both smoothies and milkshakes?
Sometimes, but recipes with pulp or inclusions should be tested independently.
