Ever wondered how Sipahh comes up with flavours like Camp Fire Chocolate Hazelnut, Hokey-Pokey Honeycomb, or Lamington Dream? Many of our most popular flavours started as customer suggestions. We believe the best ideas come from families who use our flavored milk straws on a daily basis.
Do you have a flavour combination you’re longing to try? Whether it’s inspired by your favourite dessert, a seasonal treat, or a completely original idea, we want to hear about it. This guide explains how to share your flavour ideas with Sipahh and how customer creativity shapes our product lineup.
How Have Customer Suggestions Become Real Sipahh Flavored Milk Straw Varieties?
Since launching in Australia in 2007, Sipahh has listened to families about what flavored milk straw they want. Several of our 24 current flavored milk straw originated from customer requests. Discover the full Sipahh flavored milk straw lineup to see which have made it from suggestion to real product.
What Are Real Examples of Customer-Inspired Sipahh Flavored Milk Straw?
Camp Fire Chocolate Hazelnut: Parents requested a Nutella-inspired flavour after noticing their kids loved hazelnut spread but wanted a healthier milk option. We developed Camp Fire Chocolate Hazelnut with natural hazelnut flavouring and only 3 grams of sugar per straw.
Hokey-Pokey Honeycomb: Australian customers asked for a honeycomb toffee flavour reminiscent of classic hokey-pokey ice cream. This became one of our most requested specialty flavours in both Australia and the United States.
Seasonal Favorites: Our seasonal offerings like Chrismint Candy Cane and Miss Ginger Mr Bread (gingerbread) came from customer requests for holiday-themed flavors that make milk festive during winter months.
According to our product development team, approximately 30% of new flavour concepts come directly from customer suggestions submitted through social media, email, and customer service interactions.
What Makes a Great Sipahh Flavored Milk Straw Flavor?
Before suggesting your flavored milk straw idea, understanding what works helps us evaluate feasibility.
Flavored Milk Straw Development Criteria
- Natural Ingredient Availability: Sipahh uses natural flavouring derived from real ingredients. Flavours must be achievable using natural extracts, not artificial compounds. This commitment to no artificial colours or flavours guides our development process.
- Compatibility with Milk: Not all flavours complement milk’s natural taste. Successful flavours enhance rather than compete with milk’s creamy profile. This is why dessert-inspired flavours (such as chocolate, vanilla, and caramel) work exceptionally well.
- Appeal to Children Ages 3-12: Our primary audience is families with young children. Flavours must appeal to kids while satisfying parents’ health standards.
- Sugar Content Limitations: Each straw contains 3 grams of sugar maximum. This limits intense sweetness levels but ensures healthier alternatives to chocolate syrup or pre-flavoured milk.
- Production Feasibility: Natural flavour beads require specific manufacturing processes. Some flavour combinations, while creative, may not be technically achievable with our plant-based straw technology.

What Happens After You Submit a Flavored Milk Straw Idea?
Understanding our development process helps set realistic expectations.
5 Steps For Evaluation Process
Step 1: Collection (Ongoing)
Our marketing team monitors all submission channels monthly, collecting flavour suggestions from social media, email, and customer service interactions.
Step 2: Feasibility Review (Quarterly)
Our product development team reviews submissions quarterly, evaluating:
- Natural ingredient availability
- Manufacturing compatibility
- Market demand indicators (how many customers requested similar flavours)
- Alignment with brand values (health-focused, kid-friendly)
Step 3: Testing Phase (6-12 Months)
Viable flavour concepts move to testing:
- Sample batch creation
- Internal taste testing
- Focus group feedback with families
- Refinement based on feedback
Step 4: Launch Decision (12-18 Months)
If testing succeeds, new flavours enter production planning. Launch timing depends on:
- Seasonal appropriateness (holiday flavours vs year-round)
- Production capacity
- Market research results
Why Some Flavored Milk Straw Don’t Make It?
Transparency matters. Not every suggestion becomes a product, and here’s why:
Technical Limitations: Some flavour combinations can’t be achieved with natural ingredients or our bead-dissolution technology.
Market Size: Flavours must appeal to significant customer segments. Ultra-niche flavours (requested by only a few people) may not justify production costs.
Similar Existing Flavours: We evaluate whether suggested flavours overlap too much with our current 24 varieties.
Seasonal Timing: Some flavored milk straw work better as limited-edition seasonal releases rather than permanent additions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get credit if my flavour becomes real?
While we can’t provide formal naming rights or financial compensation for suggestions (flavour development involves extensive R&D beyond the initial idea), we do recognise community contributors. Customers whose suggestions inspire new flavours are often featured on our social media with permission and receive complimentary product samples.
How long does it take for a flavour to go from idea to product?
The typical development timeline is 12-18 months from concept to store shelves. This includes feasibility testing, ingredient sourcing, manufacturing trials, quality testing, packaging design, and production scaling. Seasonal flavours may move faster if launched as limited editions.
Can I suggest multiple flavour ideas?
Absolutely. Submit as many creative ideas as you’d like through any of our channels. We review all suggestions, and multiple submissions increase the chances that one aligns with our development roadmap.
What if someone else already suggested the same flavour?
Multiple requests for similar flavours strengthen the business case for development. If many customers independently suggest the “birthday cake” flavour, that demonstrates apparent market demand. Don’t hesitate to submit ideas even if you think others might have suggested them.
Do you develop flavours for specific dietary needs?
We continually explore options for dietary accommodations. Currently, all Sipahh straws are allergen-free (no milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy). We evaluate sugar-free and other dietary-specific options based on customer demand and technical feasibility.
