Given how much some children gnaw on plastic or paper straws, I could easily see it happening. They are less prone to chewing on the cup/glass, though it’s not unknown. However, a drinking glass is generally a lot thicker than a glass straw. It’s also harder for a kid to put between their molars, without their parents noticing.
