Great lighting! I especially like the bendy part.

The background, setup concept and lighting looks good to me.

There is a bit of blown out hightlights that is not working for me here, especially the details lost in places where the straws bend.

Very clever and humorous, this image meets the challenge criteria perfectly as being Not Quite Right. From that standpoint, it is the most unique image so far in the challenge. From an image standpoint, it is technically flawed by being over sharpened which gives the image an unnatural appearance. Having said that, the whimsical nature of the image compared to it's minor technical flaw is over whelming. Well done.
