Patent Pending, The Retractable Straw was invented by Elnita Edwards of Philadelphia, PA, who said, "Produced in a food-grade, molded polypropylene, The Retractable Straw has a sliding, extendable, tube-within-tube construction. To use, one simply twists The Retractable Straw to extend it and lock it into place. To change the length or retract The Retractable Straw, one then twists it again to unlock it."
The inventor added, "The Retractable Straw can be produced in two versions. One version is a lightweight, disposable straw. The other version is a slightly heavier, re-useable straw which is dishwasher safe."
