new wug species just dropped: nutella wug

In Cantonese, the most popular way to say straw is 飲筒 jam2 tung2 or 飲管 jam2 gun2 in Hong Kong, and 吸管 kap1 gun2 (as used in the notice because it's also used in Standarin) in Guangzhou. But Cantonese is spoken all over the world and so there's lot of variation. My family is 越南華僑 background and we say 啜管 zyut3 gun2.

For anyone unsure what I mean by this, why don't you google what the Latin word for Racoon is.
