Best Answer

Most drink straws are about 5mm in diameter and are intended for sodas and thin, watery soft drinks. Shakes and Malts are known for being exceptionally thick (Thicker shakes are known to have better quality.) and are sometimes served with a spoon as well as a straw. The thick consistency is too much too suck through a thin soda straw, so larger straws are made special for the thickness of shakes. Since the clerks behind the counter making the shakes cannot see the difference in size between the straws at first glance, and must work quickly, shake straws are marked with different-colored stripes than the red ones on soda straws. The result: You no not have to strain your lungs trying to suck up rich creamy milkshakes through a teeny little straw intended for drinks no thicker than water.
