Wow, that was cool...
It does fit, but it bends. You should fill it with glue or something.

I've honestly found that the best replacement , or rather a way not to lose the stylus in the first place is to get a pen/pencil/stylus combe and always keep that with ya. At least you can replace those if lost.

Funny, we usually use a small spoon for that here. But at American fast food restaurants these straws are used indeed. They're plastic and usually white AFAICT.
Example
(Found via images.google.com -> fill in coffee straw)

Around here, coffee shops either have wooden sticks or little brown straws that have been pressed in the middle ( 8 shaped cross section)...
example of the "8" cross section (and an improbably small coffee cup):

Over here cups are made of stone and spoons with baby raptors' bones. I wouldn't trust that with my screen...
