Does anyone know the type of plastic tubing (and suppliers) used for making the twirly (seen some shaped as specs) drinking straws? I guess it is a type of plastic that can be shaped when hot?

Thanks

ETA For home I'd be tempted to try acrylic tube as it's more easily available (but more brittle) e.g.

Check it's food safe with the supplier though.
