why do people even use straws they’re not necessary even if we just ignore the waste factor, it still tastes way better, and if you use ice, it’s colder ( my personal fav reason ) while we’re at it, lids are only needed like half the time, when you are transporting the drink
Paper straws are disgusting i say abolish the straw!!

In some third world countries it’s standard to use a straw with a can due to rodents urinating on cans and drying in that little lip area.
Stick to glass bottle sodas…

Not to jump on you, but we have steel straws for a paralyzed relative. They can’t drink without assistance unless they have a conveniently placed container with a straw; even then, something like a soda can is impossible for them to drink out of without a straw.
But yes, paper straws are garbage and plastic straws are generally unnecessary.
