What an idea!

It's about time

Now I know this doesn't fall in the realm of "high tech", but dammit, it was about time they came up with something to keep from losing the little straw. I've got cans everywhere with the straw missing. Whoever finally came up with this is a genius.

"The “Hold-It” straw holder, from Texan company Hold-It Inc., has got to be the most practical invention since… well, since the shoe at least. If you’ve ever used a can of WD-40, you’ll understand why. The little red straw that comes with the lubricant is infamous in its ability to vanish after one or two uses. No one really knows where they go. I, for one, think hungry little children eat them as candy when you’re not looking. Whatever the case, the “Hold-It” easily attaches to the can of delightfully smelling lube and clamps onto the straw, thus preventing its disappearance."

Just goes to show - if you have an idea, persue it. This is America, you have to take the opportunity you can't wait for someone to hand it to you.

These dudes will probably make a million bucks on this.

Hey, someone invented the paperclip...
