Musksticks are pink, about six inches long a little short, but we can manage...

- but about as thick as a biro. and just how thick is that? somehow i suspect a biro has a diameter closer to a drinking straw rather than a cucumber... Drat!

They have a star shaped cross section. could be interesting....
On hot, humid days (or if a bit stale) they tend to be limp and melt in the mouth. On cold days (or when fresh) they are more stiff and crunchy. Oh, i want a fresh one please!
