The result was a snorkel-like, multi-holed straw that the chain deemed " a spectacularly unnecessary product" but still made 2,000 of them that they'll be handing out at a few select locations starting February 24, 2017. They call it the "STRAW," which is an acronym for "Suction Tube for Reverse Axial Withdrawal."
Here's a video explaining the idea behind the STRAW and how they created it:
If you're hoping to luck out and get one of the straws, you can get one with the purchase of a Chocolate Shamrock Shake, while the extremely limited supply lasts, starting on the following dates and times at the following locations:
