I ordered more Honey straws from the usual person on Ebay almost 2 weeks ago.
It was a week 1/2 late and I kept getting "Whoops. Forgot to ship" responses when I emailed about it.
They state on thier page they ship on mondays and usually get it by wed.. That's always been my experience too.
Not this time.
So they said they would send some extra sticks for the inconvience. I was happy with that.

I got them today finally.
When I opend up the package almost 1/2 of them had leaked out!
You could tell the end of the straws were sealed good.

I am VERY disappointed by this also. I was REALLY looking forward to my honey sticks.


This is about the 5th time I've ordered from them too. I
what happened.

What is the difference between a "honey straw" and just using a teaspoon of liquid honey? Seems like it would be the same thing because those straws just look like plastic tubes with liquid honey inside.

I had never heard of them, I have bought the decorative honey 'sticks' for teas etc before but never seen these straws, like natalie_ca said, are they just liquid honey in a straw like those sherbet things kids eat only honey?

If they were sealed well, how did they leak?

These are different flavors. Cherry, raspberry, chocolate...etc.

I like them because I can put a couple in my purse and take them wherever I go.
It was a typo in my part... they were NOT sealed well. I emailed the seller and haven't heard anything yet. Im hoping to soon
