Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered these adorable straws for a vintage circus-themed baby shower, and while their attractive design had the desired effect, guests were awkwardly disposing of them as the paper disintegrated in their mouths! I was slightly horrified and had to apologize to guests. I would expect something like this after a longer period of use, but this started as soon as they came into contact with liquid. What is the point of a straw that can't hold up to water?
