Sip on a Stroodle
If paper, glass, or steel doesn't
appeal, grab a Stroodle—a pasta
straw. Made of wheat and water,
it's 100 percent biodegradable,
vegan, and zero waste. Fans
say they stay firm for an hour
in a beverage; detractors liken
them to metal or glass varieties,
which aren't bendable.
Create Your Break
Eating chocolate just got personal. Nestlé has launched a
new line of handmade KitKat bars in the U.K. The Create
Your Break bars can be made in nearly 1,500 flavor
combinations from four chocolate varieties—milk, dark,
white, and ruby. Add personal flair to your chocolate
bar by adding up to three ingredients like rose petals,
meringue, salted caramel chunks, and cocoa nibs. Then
choose your packaging to seal the deal. If you want a
professional take, select the Chocolatier's Choice for the
day and wrap it in your choice of packaging.
