Can this be used for dispensing 7" coffee stirrers?

I would not recommend this product for coffee stirrers. It's much longer than 7". Also, since coffee stirrers are much thinner than drinking straws, it would probably dispense more than one stirrer at a time. It didn't work all that well for straws either--I got rid of mine about a month after purchasing it because the straws would keep getting jammed in the dispenser.

Does this work with pencils after they have been sharpened several times? I have a different type of dispenser and the small pencils get jammed.

I used it in my classroom from August until about mid September. It cracked really bad. Used cute printed duck tape to try to make it work. The pencils were always getting stuck. The students (2nd grade) learned to pick the dispenser up and tilt it around a little and that would usually help. In March, the pencils were getting stuck really bad. I would have to take out all of the pencils and try to grip the pencil and pull it out. I was pulling so hard that the pencil broke and it still did not come out. I broke down and order a more expensive one, but so far it works much better. Hope this helps you!
