If all kinds of straws would disappear overnight, people's quality of life would not be affected the slightest. You can drink from a glass or bottle just fine without a straw. All the endless discussion of environmental effects of straws made of different materials is confusing to me. If it is such a serious issue, take steps to stop producing them and move on to more important things.

The experience of sucking up the tapioca balls as you consume the drink depends on the wide straw. Remove the straw, and the experience is totally different; you would get hardly any tapioca balls until you were all the way to the bottom of the drink. Now, maybe you don't give a shit about that, but then it's just a value judgment.
