Mammoth Straws

Does anyone remember these tall, large, lengthy, thin, inedible straws (were made of plastic) called 'Mammoth Straws' which had differently coloured sherbet crystals in them (came in different fruit flavours)?

The height of the straws had square paper which you had to rip off then suck out the sherbet crystals from the straws. The straws came in a large, tall, lengthy, thin cardboard box (the box was yellow, was 3D and had no lid).

The box said 'MAMMOTH STRAW' in block capitals vertically (because mammoth can mean 'incredibly large') and had four corners and each corner had cartoon drawings of four different professional people - a rugby player, a clown, a skier and a magician. They all wore white trousers with differently coloured vertical stripes and their legs were the same size and length of the straws themselves.

I so miss this box. :'( Does anyone still have it?

Some time in the 80s; the box went on Saturday 10 May 1997.

I said, the box is discontinued. It went a long time ago.
