dad: watch this! open up a straw by scrunching up its wrapper! no put drop of water on that wrinkly paper tube! check it ou! it wriggles and grows!
thatababy: wow! i am way too easily impressed.
Sadly, those two tricks don’t work so well anymore. The drinking straw wrappers I’ve seen now have air perforations so they won’t blow around the cafeteria and are structured so that they don’t scrunch up.I suspect the Lunch Ladies Lobby.
This does work, my Dad taught me this when I was a kid. However was ossiningaling said is true that the wrappers are different. (You guys need to have names easier to spell.)
Actually, there’s a new “unofficially official” Mythbusters fansite – http://www.citadelofmyths.freeforums.net/ .[]Feel free to ask your question there.

It is a cool trick, and little kids love stuff like this.

I love the Mythbusters. i want to be just like them when I grow up, or retire, whichever comes first.

I haven’t seen a paper straw wrapper in years.

Unfortunately, I taught my kids the trick where you blow the wrapper at each other, and it always seems to be aimed at me. :-o

I LOVE doing this. It’s all OSHA has left us since they mandated non-blowable straw wrappers. 8^(
