They stop your lipstick smudging, too.
Comment on Are straws an unnecessary (but convenient) invention?

They work well in moving vehicles but beyond that we could ditch them entirely.
Straws are a strawman argument to begin. That plastic drink cup has about 50 times the plastic of your typical straw.

They also work well for little kids. Drinking from the rim of a cup is harder for wee tots than sipping through a straw.
I’m not saying this makes them a life essential, just noting one more case where they really make sense.
