Rude Straws
Wal-Mart is being targeted again. This time it is from a concerned mother who believes the $1.69 bag of fun straws she bought for her 3 year old daughter has some straws shaped like a male sex organ.
The mother reportedly said “There are two of them that are shaped like the male private area.”
But what really upset her was when she contacted Wal-Mart, she believed they were rude and treated her like she was lying or making it up.
Wal-Mart’s response was as follows:
"At Wal-Mart we take customer questions and concerns seriously. After being contacted on this matter, Wal-Mart pulled the product in question from our shelves and is investigating the claim. Of course, our customer is welcome to return the item for a refund, if they would like."
The straws in question are manufactured by Eagle Marks Corporation.
When a reporter searched three local stores, no fun straws could be found on any shelves.
So based on the above picture, are the straws a problem or is someone being oversensitive?

It is all in the eyes of the beholder. The purple and yellow straw looks like a bell to me.
Is this another attempt to take advantage of a deep pocket. Looks like it to me.
It really saddens me to see into what the legal system has evolved.... or is the word declined. Why does this woman think she has a case for legal action? If anything, I would question her parenting skills and investigate to determine whether she is fit to raise the child...someone with a perverted view like hers.
All I can say is....Some people in this world have way too much time on their hands!
Actually, the legal system would handle this case quite efficiently. A court would almost certainly dismiss any claim she could invent from this.
