I'd be happy to save them IF I COULD FIND THEM. Sooner or later they all
disappear, generally when the can is only half empty. I wouldn't go so far as
to attribute purpose to plastic tubing, but it's plenty damn suspicious...

Yeah, I save every spray-can straw I ever see- my toolbox never has
more than two, and usually none.

And that's from saving the straws from WD40, brake cleaner, carb
