Anatomical Straw comes in the form of a small, transparent human figure, inside of which a straw snakes.

Beginning with an extension tube that screws into the mouth, the straw follows an anatomical route, down the oesophagus, through the stomach and into the intestinal coils, finally emerging via another section of tubing that attaches to the figure's anus.

Anatomical Drinking Straw can be used either way up.

Brilliant: I would buy this. [+]

That worries me. Much as I like things that look like other things, there's really nothing I want to suck out of, or through, a cute little plastic anus.

Make a simplified blood system version that ends in a figure's neck?

I'm amazed these don't already exist, but I've never heard of them. I'm a little worried they will be pornographic, and the top will either look like "the fifth element" or someone puking, but definitely cool. (+)

Maybe just do the torso, throat to bladder?

That's going to be one long straw.

//a cute little plastic anus//

Well my first idea was a Vlad The Impaler drinking straw/figure.

How about tapeworm living in your stomach straw?

Yep, definitely. Another home ed idea too.

Weird. And probably very entertaining. [+]

Im picturing a straw that had a 2" hard mouth piece simmilar to a conventional straw, but that would hook on to the side of the glass. below the hard mouth piece could be a an extremely thin intestine--inspired tubing that would go into the glass itself. another plus is the extreme flexibility of the straw would mean that the straw would be really portable, even in huge lengths and you could whip the noodle end out of your cup and into someone elses without the top of your straw ever leaving your glass.

While on biz or a vacation. A time away from the normal, at many a third world or economically impoverished lands, the potential to hire an actual anatomical version.

This sounds familiar.
