Siphon

ERROR - Read on;

As goshensquash pointed out, the squash stops flowing when the long end of the straw reaches the height of the squash in the first glass, not the height of the short end of the straw as I say in the video.

as the water runs down it sucks behind it as long as there is more water going down then up it works. And thats the best I can do lol.

Siphoning...simple enough to film, tricky to explain. :)

Nice video, but you're wrong in the explanation. The squash stops flowing when the long end of the straw reaches the height of the squash in the first glass, not the height of the end of the short end of the straw.

You also need to explain suction; the straw's there for a reason.
