Need to create a long drinking straw for a disabled friend, 3 feet orso. He's currently using a tube from a piece of medical equipment, butit's not designed for drinking thru, and has a strong plastic taste -probably all sorts of nasty chemicals leeching into the water.Its only for cold water, but needs to be flexible. A decent lengththat we can snip 3ft pieces off would be ideal.Anyone know of any sources? TIA.

Have you thought of contacting an organisation that supports folk withdisabilities as they are bound to have come across this problem before .

Also, any wine making section in your local Wilkinson's will have plastic tubing, though not usually the squashy kind used in medical pumps. You could ask his doctor for some if you want the genuine article.
