I have always wondered the same thing.  My mom tries to clean them  with pipe 
cleaners, but it really doesn't help much.  I thought maybe it  was because I 
drink diet caffeine free pop and decaf tea and water.
It is so gross and sometimes it gives you a big piece of black gob in your  
mouth..  I just have to order new straws quite often.
 
I thought maybe it was caused from sugar substitute.

I'm glad  someone else mentioned that they had the same  problem!

     I had a few long drinking straws--about 2 feet or so long,  I used to use 
fairly often but they got yucky black mold inside of them,,,, Have any of you 
had that problem??? perhaps constant use or cleaning may prevent the mold 
issue...i'm not sure .   Dan H.

for years now, since moving into my apt. My friend attached a flexable tubing 
to a block of wood & attached the wooden block to the head of my bed. The 
flexable tubing I got from radio shack & is hollow, so he ran the tubing from 
my insulated gallon jug(from WalMart) thru the flexable tubing then he taped a 
thin wire to the tubing which makes it easy to bend straight to my mouth so I 
can drink all thru the night. I drink quite a bit of water during the evening & 
night.
