Citing pollution and threats to marine life, La Jolla's Herringbone and Searsucker in the Gaslamp and Del Mar pledge to end giving out the plastic sippers.

Once upon a time I wouldn’t vote for government tyranny but i am a smoker and I want revenge. I’ll vote to take away plastic straws, cakes, lattes, soda, beer... Whatever people enjoy putting in their mouths. PS I’m in a very bad mood tonight.

Paper straws worked fine when I was a kid, why not go back to those?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

No straws for you!

Kookiefornia Nanny State PING!

In that case, team up with a bake shop and make a line of low-cal, wide diameter EDIBLE straws. I’d imagine people would be willing to pay a couple extra pennies for those, and you could have fun creating different flavors and designs.

You should consider a beer bong for your beverage drinking needs.

Beverage assistant comes extra!

Californians
are such the trend setters.
This is right up there
with the pull tabs on beer
cans...
I’m guessing Californians
can’t figure out how to dispose
of anything properly...

I can’t decide if your message is the funniest thing I read all day or a secret key to understanding government and the human mind

As if common sense or public opinion matters to big gubmint central planners. They will ban it anyway.

It feels like the right thing to do to heal the world and make it a better place.

Plastic straws perpetuate white privilege.

Speaking of using straws....

Faygo come out with a new ‘Black Cherry’ soda that is naturally flavored and tastes like real cherries.

A couple scoops of chocolate ice cream and a can of that soda will make a float to die for. It’s like eating frozen chocolate covered cherries...absolutely yummy!

It’s just a good thing they are worried about the “important” stuff.

I bought 1000 bags off Amazon. If I have to I’ll buy straws there too. lol

Plastic straws perpetuate white privilege.
