(12 pack) TAL Stainless Steel Ranger Tumbler 24 fl oz, Black

I received my TAL 24oz RNG TMBL Black about a week ago now, and I must say this drinking cup is excellent for either your cold and/or hot beverages. And this cup holds a lot to get you through your day or night. So if looking for a drinking cup that will keep your cold or hot beverages lasting for hours this is the drinking cup for you...

For me this Tal 24 oz. tumbler is ideal. I'm well into my 70's and somewhat more klutzy than in younger years. Before tumblers with lids I became well acquainted with my carpet cleaner when cleaning up iced tea and Pepsi spills from the carpeting. The screw on lids ensure no spills when tipped over on end and coffee tables as well as falls to the floor. Another feature very important to me is the ability to use everyday 10 1/4 inch plastic straws. As purchased this is not possible - the spring on the trap door is too strong and the little door crushes the plastic straw. However there is a simple solution. The heavy plastic straw that comes with the tumbler is 10 1/2 inches long and can be cut into four 2 5/8 inch segments. Place one in the straw hole to hold the trap door open and an everyday plastic straw (not the big dia. smoothie straws) fits perfectly inside the heavy duty straw segment. If the cutting process leaves burrs on the inside diameter of the straw that may have to be cleaned up. The other three segments can be used on other tumblers or as spares. I've included a couple photos, hopefully they show up with the review.
