Straw does not actually bend.

Bendy Straw History: After watching his young daughter, Judith, struggle to drink a milkshake with a straight straw, Joseph B. Friedman invented the bendable straw. The Santa Monica based company, the Flexible Straw Corporation, was founded in 1939, and in the late 1940’s was manufacturing bendable straws, with its first sales marketed to hospitals.
