[net.movies] The incredible slurping Straw!

One possible explaination for the infamous "Straw" anomaly in 2001:
If the food container was not vented adequately, sucking on the straw
would cause the sides of the container to bend in.  When vaccuum was
removed, the sides would spring out- pulling fluid in the straw back into
the container, assuming the fluid is viscous enough to mantain a good seal.
This would even be an advantage; fluid would not continue out of the
straw when the person took his/her mouth from the straw.
