(2001) Message-ID: <280@ssc-vax.UUCP> Date: Tue, 18-Dec-84 02:59:57 EST Article-I.D.: ssc-vax.280 Posted: Tue Dec 18 02:59:57 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 20-Dec-84 04:28:12 EST Distribution: net Organization: Boeing Aerospace Co., Seattle, WA Lines: 12 One possible explaination for the infamous "Straw" anomaly in 2001: If the food container was not vented adequately, sucking on the straw would cause the sides of the container to bend in. When vaccuum was removed, the sides would spring out- pulling fluid in the straw back into the container, assuming the fluid is viscous enough to mantain a good seal. This would even be an advantage; fluid would not continue out of the straw when the person took his/her mouth from the straw.
