Chopstick-Straw (Soup Sticks)

Julian Lechner invented the product “Soup Sticks” (or “Chopstick-Straws”) in 2013. The chopsticks are also straws, eliminating one extra utensil from the food table.

Chopstick Straws (YEP) Will Change How You Eat Ramen Forever
By Andrew Liszewski
Published September 9, 2013
Tradition or not, slurping soup broth directly from a bowl can be an awkward experience, if only because you often end up with it dripping down your chin. But instead of letting all that tasty broth go to waste because you don’t have a spoon at your disposal, hopefully restaurants will see the genius in Julian Lechner’s hollow chop stick design he’s named Soup Straws.
