Do straws have 2 holes or 1 hole.
If it was just one hole it wouldn't have two openings, which it does.

The mathematically correct answer is 1 hole.
A straw is topologically the product of a circle, which has 1 hole, and an interval, which has 0 holes. So the straw has 1 hole. Formally, a straw is topologically equivalent to S1 × [0, L], where S1 is the unit circle and L is the length of the straw.

By the way, how many holes are there in the human race?
Ear hole. 2 Eye hole. 2 Nostrils. 2 Mouth hole. 1 Ass hole. 1
Oh, there were pores. Innumerable.
That is, it is impossible to stick a straw in every hole.

Ez, 1 hole. Suppose you have a cylinder made of wood/metal, that is as big as a straw (same dimensions). When drilling through it from 1 end to the other (with a drill long enough), how many times do you need to drill? One. You can't make 2 holes with 1 drill at the same time. Now, if straw is not made of wood/metal, then swap the material after making a hole. :)

Drill through notepad, and you will have as many holes as many pages notepad had.

But let's take a cave. In a cave, an entrance is seen as a hole (hollow place in a solid body or surface). When a cave has 2 ways to enter, we say it has 2 entrances and we earlier defined an entrance of a cave as a hole. If we look at the straw as a cave, it clearly has 2 holes.. Food for thought lmao

GOVERNMENT PIPE SPECIFICATIONS
All pipe is to be made of a long hole, surrounded by metal or plastic, centered around the hole.
All pipe is to be hollow throughout the entire length – do not use holes of different length than the pipe.
The I.D. (inside diameter) of all pipe must not exceed the O.D. (outside diameter) – otherwise the hole will be on the outside of said pipe.
All pipe is to be supplied with nothing in the hole, so that water, steam or other stuff can be put inside at a later date.
All pipe should be supplied without rust – This can be more readily applied at the job site. Some vendors are now able to supply pre-rusted pipe. If available in your area, this product is recommended as it will save a lot of time on the job site.
All pipe over 500 feet (153m) in length should have the words “long pipe” clearly painted on each end, so the Contractor will know it is a long pipe.
Pipe over 2 miles (3.2 km) in length must have the words “very long pipe” painted in the middle, so the Contractor will not have to walk the entire length of the pipe to determine whether or not it is a long pipe, or a very long pipe.
All pipe over 6” (152 mm) in diameter must have the words “large pipe” painted on it, so the Contractor will not mistake it for a small pipe.
Flanges must be used on all pipe. Flanges must have holes for bolts quite separate from the big hole in the middle.
When ordering 90 degrees, 45 degrees or 30 degrees elbow, be sure to specify right hand or left hand; otherwise you will end up going the wrong way.
Be sure to specify to your vendor whether you want level, uphill, or downhill pipe. If you use downhill pipe for going uphill, the water will flow the wrong way.
All couplings should have either right hand or left hand thread, but do not mix the threads - otherwise, as the coupling is being screwed on one pipe, it is unscrewed from the other.

That's a valid point. Not only that, but it even does not contain a potato!

Well, oxford dictionary has multiple definitions, but all of them describe a hole as a hollow space, and straw has only one hollow space, so - one hole with two openings.

I really want to try that. I mean, I'm sure it's not that big a difference (except for maybe causing more burps?), but it certainly does make me curious.

:D
really don't know if this gonna succeed, and thought it was 100% marketing juice... result (cause, hey, i have to try it): it's different. and it works.
basically they closed the "front" hole, so to pierce it vertically (top and bottom) and horizontally (side of the straw). 4 little holes in place of a big one. so, it kinda flows differently in your mouth giving you the impression the product is really tastier than before (hint = it's the same identical product)
also: if you're willing to pay the shipping, i could send you one (but, hey, just one!) :P

Probably not enough to ship something internationally. I could tape up the end of a straw and poke my own holes for a lot less. ;)

At first I thought that this thread is useless. Now - after reading all comments - I feel much smarter then before.
Thanks.

So me and my friend can't seem to decide whether or not straws have 2 holes or just 1 and I was just wondering what you guys think. Personally I think it only has 1 hole.
