/pi-TI-yo/
A straw — used to drink beverages in Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua. The same item called 'popote' in Mexico and 'pajita' in Spain goes by 'pitillo' in Central America. When countries banned plastic straws, pitillos were at the center of the conversation.
"Give me a straw for the juice."
"They banned plastic straws at many restaurants."
