What a waste

Why can't manufacturers make replacement parts that are REASONABLY priced for their crappy products?

Joseph's go-to sippy is the Nuby Flip'n'Sip. It has a soft spout that he loved to chew on. I've cut two of them down to the little valve thing (which is also broken from chewing). Don't you think they'd realize that this is a common problem with teething children? Not to mention just losing straw pieces... they are small and clear and perfect for garbage disposals.

But no, you can't just replace the straw. You can pay $3 to replace the whole top. The cost of a new cup is only slightly more than that!

I know they do this to make you spend more on their product, but it's so darn wasteful. It makes me mad.
