<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4266590, member: 360&quot;]The strainer / filter at the base is to stop you from sucking up tea-leaves while drinking, and either clogging the straw, or choking on them! I think even if you unscrewed the filter, you&#039;d have a hard time drinking a smoothie or milkshake through this!...But if you could - damn - that&#039;d be the world&#039;s fanciest milkshake straw!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These days, they&#039;re made of stainless steel, but since stainless wasn&#039;t widely available until the mid-20th century, the antique ones are made of silver. You can actually find them pretty easily online, but they do cost a bit of coin. I got lucky with this one. Even with postage from the UK, it was CHEAP. I love it!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
