Same with the straws. Instead of polypropylene they're now paper coated in pfas. The coating isn't perfect so the paper gets soggy and dissolves, making the user ingest pfas as well. Which is inert (the toxins are emitted during the production process) but can still accumulate in the body to questionable effect Yeah this was not a good trade off. Though most cups (eg polarcup) were already pfas-coated paper so it's not a new problem. And yes straws aren't really necessary but as someone with sensitive teeth they avoid pain in cold drinks. That's why I use them. McDonald's tried to simply stop serving them here (EU) but the backlash was too great.
