The Idea

A little mesh bonnet to go at the end of your straw that's in your iced tea so you don't suck up the lemon seeds. SOOO needed!

I thought of this idea when I was...

choking on a lemon seed

First, it will be hard to suck the liquid.
Second, it will constantly be stuffed with seeds and pulp.

use a traditional tea strainer when making the tea, problem solved.

Maybe not the way to do it, but simple ideas like that are the best. Look at the guy who invented and patented those little cardboard sleeves that Starbucks and everyoen else uses now. http://www.inc.com/m...1/24702_pagen_3.html

I say give it some more thought.
