Drinking straws are dispensed by providing an endless, substantially flattened flexible tube having a free end, cutting the free end of the tube to a desired length and opening the tube at its free end into a hollow tube. A refill cartridge is provided for this dispensing method which includes a substantially endless, substantially flattened flexible tube wound in substantially spiral form. The cartridge may comprise a spindle disposed at the center of the spirally wound tube, whereby the tube may be unwound from the outside of the spiral form, or the cartridge may include a cylindrical sleeve disposed around the outside circumference of the spirally wound tube, whereby the tube may be unwound from the inside of the spiral form.
