Can these straws be used to drink citrus drinks, including lemon juice? Will the acids damage the straw overtime and leach chemicals?

I doubt that the acid will damage the straws (they are pretty sturdy silicone), but I would definitely ask the manufacturer.

Only had them for a few weeks, but use them to drink smoothies with pineapple, mango & orange. I simply rinse well after each use & use soap every few days. Can't testify about damage from the acids, but would it be any worse than plastic straws?

Personal opinion, They should not harm the materials. I also have some mixed Citrus EOs and I wouldn't hesitate to try them in it.

NO, they are NOT reusable. I bought them for a craft, and they are just plain, ordinary, flimsy straws. I was not able to use them. They just like the ones you get in any fast food restaurant, but in color.

I would say "No". It works great for oranges, limes and lemons though. It's made with plastic parts, so be gentle with it.

I haven't tried it with lemons or limes but I slice potatoes, yellow squash and zucchini with it. I don't think lemons and limes would be a problem. This has been a handy kitchen tool for me.

Have had no problems with acidic drinks. The grandkids have been using them for months. They are not made of the usual disposable straw material; they are more sturdy

I use plastic bendable straws and they fit perfectly in the mouth opening. This way you can change straws for hygienic reasons.

No, these are only for cold drinks. But it will keep a drink cold for a long time. I put smoothies in mine. Use pipe cleaners to clean out the straw.

They work for a Medium strawberry lemonade from Wendys. A large lemon berry slush from sonic. Sanitizer wipes lol in other words it handles Life

I have never tried, but I do not think that the straw would be able to hold its shape in hot beverages (due to paper).

Don't know, they were bought to replace the straws for my wife and son's Starbucks 24 oz go cups, so we don't use them for anything else, sorry

I have used them in hot drinks, without any problems, but not on a long-terms basis. From the few times that I used them in hot beverages, I saw no evidence of damage to the cubes.

I use mine mostly for lemon water. I will leave the whole cut lemon in for a day and then drink it within a day or two with the lemons still in the container. I have used berries and pineapple before but remove them after a day because they get soggy. I don't reuse the fruit.

Yes! I'm happy to say that they work great in the 24 oz Tervis tumblers. That is all I use mine for. And the straws are holding up wonderfully and go through the dishwasher with no problems. (I've had mine for about 3 months now)

Hi Jamie,I never thougth of placing them in water with lemon. What a great idea. I just soaked one in water and it seems to hold up well. So I would say yes. Deb

Hello Andy! This juicer will be great for juicing citrus such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, etc. This unit uses a reamer to juice.

I think I understand what you're trying to do here. I drink lemon water in the morning too, very refreshing and healthful. You're trying to combine two drinks into one. In this case, however, I don't think it will work. Ozone is a highly reactive gas (I'm not a professional chemist this is just what I've read) that's why it is used to sterilize things (like plastic where heat can't be used). I think the O3 might destroy the healthful benefits of the lemon and destroy itself in the process. I've always read that you should take O3 water on an empty stomach and then not eat for at least 30 min lest the food in your stomach destroy the O3, this is the procedure I use (I'm not a health professional this is just personal experience).
