Bendy Strawsss!

Pressureeeeee! It's everywhereeeeee! Like in my bendy straw. Haha.

Okay, so today I got mad at my dad. I failed my road test on Friday (more pressure! Like in the book!) and my parents wanted me to keep driving. I didn't want to, so my dad literally dragged me out of the house, threw me in the driver's seat, and made me drive (Sorry, people, a little venting/back story here).

Then my daddy bought me apple juice and Lifesavers Gummies, and I was happy again (I know, easily entertained child). I drove back home and wanted to drink my juice, so I found myself a straw. It was bendy which made me even happier.

I was also pondering a Physics blog idea. I started drinking from my awesome red straw when I realized that I was hardly getting any juice! It made me a little sad on the inside when I figured out that there was a hole in my straw. -__-
That's me drinking from my fail straw. Little did I know that I had a Physics topic on my hands. By "sucking" the straw, I was lowering the pressure inside the straw (or I would have if there were no hole!!!). Since the pressure outside is greater, the liquid travels up the straw. Since there was a hole, air got in the straw through it, so not as much juice came up, which means less juice for me. :[ So in the end, I just said, forget the straw and threw it away.

I guess this is another quite lame blog. Sorry. I should think of these further in advance...
