These are exactly as pictured, and arrived nicely packaged - They are obviously from a company that cares about the quality of their product. These things are loooong, too - If you have a tall glass, they're perfect. Diameter-wise, they're about the size of a pencil.
I dinged them a star for three reasons:
1. The straw rather rapidly acquires the temperature of the drink in which it's placed. I haven't tried them in a hot liquid yet, but in ice water they rapidly become ice cold, which means you're gonna feel it when you put your lips on them. (That's why I'd recommend getting the silicon-tipped version.)
2. The cleaning wand that's included isn't quite long enough to go all the way through the straw, which means you end up driving it in from each end. Whether or not this potentially leaves bacteria/viruses in the middle of the straw is an empirical question, but it at least seems possible, even if highly unlikely (I think using soap and warm water probably obviates the problem.)
3. Because they're so long, it's easy to bang your teeth on the end if you're not paying attention as you put it in your mouth. This is another reason to go for the silicon tips.
