Updated 1/26/2012 : I have received the order of 3,200 from dynastywholesale

Updated 1/21/2012: I have placed an order with dynastywholesale and have maild in the check.  Once the check clears they will be sending me the box of 3,200 18 inch straws.  I'll let you all know when I receive them. I wonder how big the box will be.

Updated 1/17/2012: Added Price Comparison

Question: Will long straws be provided in the fursuit lounges?

 

I did a search on this topic and found a post from 2010 leading me to believe that long straws are provided: http://www.anthrocon.org/node/5121/drinking-while-wearing-fursuit

 

Summery: (Using my address for shipping)

_________________________________________

Supplier: http://www.dynastywholesale.com/straws.html

Amount: 3,200     Price: 49.95   Total Cost with Shipping: $74.90 (by Check) $ 85.40 (Money Order)

Restrictions: They only accept checks and money order. Item ships after check clears.

Price per straw: $74.900 / 3,200 = 0.023406525  (2.34 Cents per straw)

CONFIRMED: I made an order on 1/21/2012 and received 3,200 today. I called them up, placed my order, then mailed in my check.  My name was on the check and the phone order, so I didn't need to fill out the confusing order form.  I hope me ordering this helps others.

 

Supplier: http://www.eatfunfoods.com/product.sc?productId=1292&categoryId=-1

Amount: 500     Price: 29.00   Total Cost with Shipping: $53.94

Restrictions: They only accept checks and money order. Item ships after check clears.

Price per straw: $53.94 / 500 = 0. 10788  (10.79 Cents per straw)

I seem to recall there being long straws at the main lounge where I spent quite a bit of time volunteering. Of course my memory is slightly fuzzy so don't rely on my word for sure. I wasn't really at the other smaller lounge much so I don't know about there.

Besides, if they don't, you can just join a heap of little straws together...

I suppose I should have mentioned this earlier. We have multiple cases of long straws available.
