Received these just as pictured and very quickly. There are enough straws for a family. I originally  I didn't not like the "thin" diameter of the straws, because I'm accustomed to my thicker plastic straw that came with another plastic cup. However, if you're using these stainless steel straws for a stainless steel hot/cold travel mug, this straw fits perfectly in that cover. There is one larger straw that I really like, however, that one does not fit into my thermal cover. The silicone slip covers helps the metal straw from banging against your teeth. So don't throw those away. Also, the straw keeps the drink cooler, too. Recommend these stainless steel straws.
