I was joking. I highly doubt there's anything wrong with 6-year old triflow. And I don't think bikes are affected by the botulism toxin.

And yes, the straw is an indispensable feature. You could always pour your White Lightning into the triflow bottle. If you don't want the triflow, you could dump it, or pour it temporarily into a cup and then into the White Lightning bottle.

Another great tip I found, get an empty needle-tip vape-juice bottle and put thin chain lube in it. The short metal tip is even better than the triflow straw for most applications, except you know, that one pivot way in the back of your RD or something.
