The Last Straw team firmly believes that kids should stop taking the blame for common juice box spills. After all, can you really keep a kid from squeezing a juice box? Or dropping a juice box? Or tipping a juice box on its side? Kids are just being kids. The problem is the straw. For this very reason, we created the Last Straw – the world’s first no-spill straw specifically designed for disposable juice boxes and packs – to keep millions of mess-makers around the globe sipping their favorite beverages (including red fruit punch and chocolate milk) anywhere… anytime.
So if you’re tired of cleaning up juice box squirts, spills and stains, we need your help to get the Last Straw in the hands of your mess-makers! Here’s what you can do to help:
Take Our Quick Survey
We’re finding that big consumer product companies like quantifiable data to clearly define consumer needs before they make any changes to the design or packaging of their products. And while the need for a product like the Last Straw seems like common sense to us, they want to hear from you. For a limited time, take a 30-second survey on our blog to tell us about your juice box/pack buying habits and opinions and we’ll enter you in a chance for a drawing to win an Apple iPod Touch awarded on December 1, 2008.
Participate in Our Blogger Outreach Program
If you’re a blogger within the United States and you’d like to try the Last Straw and share a product review or feedback from your kids with us (and your readers), we want to hear it! Post a product review on your blog by December 1, 2008 and we’ll enter you in a drawing to win an Apple iPod Touch on December 15, 2008.
Follow the Blog
In the summer of 2008, The Last Straw team created a blog to openly share our story and the evolution of the Last Straw from a simple pencil sketch to a great product. On the blog, inventor/entrepreneur/dad Robert Stribling writes about the business powering the product and shares updates on Last Straw news, while co-inventor/homemaker/mom Heather Stribling shares updates and observations from the home front. Through the blog, Robert and Heather look forward to developing relationships with you in an effort to continuously improve the Last Straw and its ability to help simplify your life. Stop by often and leave us a comment! We can’t wait to hear from you.
