Drinking Straw..

i just received a mail form my last colleague...please do read peeps~

I ordered a Club Sandwich and a Sprite in a restaurant
somewhere in Malaysia . When I finished half of the sandwich
I sipped a sprite. But it didnt taste like an ordinary
sprite I used to drink. So I sipped once more, but it still
tasted the same. It tasted like a sprite mixed with some
kind of oil. I called the clerk and asked him if the sprite
was expired.. He said it was just delivered today. So I
asked him to taste it. Then he also found that something was
wrong with it.

Both of us were wondering for a while. Then I got to look
inside the straw. There were a lot of tiny black round
things that looked like eggs. So I cut the middle of the
straw lengthwise to have a better look.. Yuck. There were a
lot of tiny black round things in it. I suppose they were
eggs of cockroach. About 1000 eggs were there.
Then I began to check all the other straws in the straws case one by one. Almost all
of them contained black eggs that seemed to be either the
cockroach eggs or excretions.

After the incident I began to check all the straws in the restaurants and fast food chains that I had gone to. Almost
of all the straws contained the same black eggs. Especially
the darker the colors of straws, the more black eggs were found. In black straws, extreme amount of black eggs were found.It was found out that it's because the cockroaches live
(hatch eggs and excrete) in the dark places.

* 80% or more restaurants in the malls use red or black colored straws.

SO NEXT TIME.... BE CAUTIOUS... CHECK THE STRAW BEFORE YOU PLACE IT INSIDE THE DRINKS!!
