I ordered a pack of 500 of those thin stripey ones from AliExpress a few months ago, because I needed to spend 15 bucks to get free shipping for new headphone earcups. I feel bad because I actually threw them all away. They smelt funky and the plastic they came in was yellowed and dusty

I came across an unopened box of 1,000 plastic straws in the party supply crate recently. I donât know what to do with them. Maybe hold onto them for a bit and then donate them to a museum in a decade or two?

Stand outside maccaâs and sell them. $1 per straw. Youâve now made $1000. You may cop a bit of abuse though.

Theyâd only work with soft drinks. Theyâre too thin for thick shakes. They are bendy, though. Give it another few years and the novelty of bendy straws will likely blow the kidsâ minds.
