A straw in a soda can acts just like an air bubble in water—it naturally floats to the top.
To stop it from rising on its own, try this proven, effortless trick: thread the straw through the tab's opening.

Slide the straw through the hole made by the tab. It anchors securely and stays put every time.
Your straw no longer pops up—enjoy your drink hassle-free, without chasing it with your mouth!
Pro tip: Skip single-use straws to cut down on ocean plastic. If you love straws, choose reusable ones and take them home.
