The powder fills the straw and remains there until you blow on the opposite end of the straw to expel the powder in a "poof." If you need a bigger "poof," you can get a larger straw at one of the specialty coffee houses that are used for frozen drinks, etc. On 9/22/09 9:40 PM, "Dotti" <dotti.seitz-AT-verizon.net> wrote: > Yeah.
