It’s an accessibility thing. Some people struggle without a straw (elderly, disabled, etc). Straws are also convenient if you’re wearing lipstick.

You could just learn to drink like a grown up.

That’s such a simple thing for people with mobility problems to solve for themselves.

Why is “with ice” the default option for drinks in the US? For beverages, the restaurant is saving money, but for water?
Stuka@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Because its cold and refreshing? Ice water stays cold longer than not ice water.

I commented on another thread about McDonald’s, in France they stopped giving out straws and just printed on the cup “To drink, remove lid and lift cup, you’re not an infant”
First comment underneath it was “What about people with mobility problems”
Shut the fuck up bitch

When i was in paria they just had recycled card lids with a small hole in like a coffee lid and ypu drank from the hole. Or i guess you could remove the lid.
