Claim:
A straw system for use in drinking contents within a can, said straw system comprising: a) a holding frame positioned within the can and extending between a top and bottom side of an inside of the can; b) a guidance ring connected to said holding frame and said holding frame includes a main bar extending between the top and bottom sides of the sides of the inside of the can and an arm extending from said main bar at a position along a length thereof and to the top side of the can, wherein said guidance ring is connected between said main bar and said arm; c) a straw comprising a fixed bottom straw portion and a top straw portion; d) said top straw portion slideably connected to said bottom straw portion and held in alignment with an opening in the can by said guidance ring; and e) a buoyancy float connected to said top straw portion, wherein upon opening a tab of the can, said buoyancy float causes said top straw portion to float to a position extending out of the can while said fixed bottom straw portion is restrained against movement thereby enabling the contents within the can to be readily and safely consumed and wherein said guidance ring limits a height to which said buoyancy float is able to rise within the can and thus limits a distance said top straw portion extends from the can.
