And we don't even need straws. You can just drink from the rim of the glass at a sit down restaurant like you do at home, or a to-go drink could have a sippy lid like a coffee.
- doubled112 5y agoI can't be the only person that just does this when the drink comes with a paper straw.
- moron4hire 5y agoUnfortunately, as soon as they hand out the straw, it doesn't matter if you use it or not, it's going into the trash. So often the wrapper gets wet while it's sitting on the table and they just discard every paper product left on the table.
- Larrikin 5y agoMilk shakes, boba tea, thick smoothies, and similar drinks are all awful to consume without a straw. If an establishment insists on me using a paper straw with them, I'd rather just not order them.
- moron4hire 5y ago"Awful"? Isn't that a bit of an overstatement? Also, I get a milkshake maybe two times a year. Doesn't warrant every other drink normalizing on straw usage.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoYou don't need plastic bottles either... you can use glass ones... and a lot more plastic bottles are produced and thrown away than plastic straws... and they usually come with plastic labels, wrapped in plastic 6packs, on a pallet, wrapped in plastic wrap. You could easily replace that with a glass bottle in a reusable plastic crate. I've seen quite a few videos of flood waters carrying waste down some random (usually asian or african) rivers... didn't see a lot of straws there.
