The inspiration of straw cup comes from people's dissatisfaction with traditional drinking methods, especially when ice cubes are added to drinks, the traditional drinking methods will not be convenient enough. When he saw people using rough straws in their drinks, Si Tong thought of an improved design. He decided to find a more hygienic and convenient substitute.
So, he applied for a patent in 1888, coated the paper roll with wax, and formed the first straw that could be used. The appearance of this kind of straw is very similar to that of modern straws. Although the materials and manufacturing processes are different, the concepts are similar.
The improvement of Merois greatly improved the convenience and hygiene of drinking beverages, which laid the foundation for the birth of straw cups later.
