Straw cups and planes do not mix

Just a friendly PSA for anyone who may be flying- if you bring a straw cup full of water on a plane, do not flip it open mid-flight without screwing the top off first! 

My mom wasn't paying attention and flipped it open to give it to DD, and water came shooting out of there in a jet.  It was actually pretty funny, because my mom shot the water straight into her face and all over me and DD.  Thank goodness we took up a whole row and didn't get water all over a stranger!

LOL! Thanks for the warning. Sounds like we have the same sippy cup, which I was planning to take on the plane for DS in a couple of weeks.

Is it the Munchkin Straw cup?  Do either of you have trouble with milk coming up out of the straw at home?  Ours are doing it more than 50% of the time and I have no idea why.  Really gross to have milk on the floor all the time.

 

Oh and that story is priceless...I wish you would have had a video camera to catch the look on her face :-)

I'm glad you posted, we are flying next Saturday, I'll be sure to bring the other sippy.

I have that same problem and realized I have to re-adjust the entire straw mechanism or else the child will be sucking till she's red! Or, the straw or cup, whichever just leaks! I wonder if there really is a spill-proof sippy out there?
