It's Saturday, stayed at a brand hotel in a very liberal city and for the orange juice they only offered paper straws.

The straws disintegrated midway through the glass, I hate paper straws.

Leftists ruin everything good..

We went from plastic straws wrapped in paper to paper straws wrapped in plastic. 🙄

When I was a kid, a paper straw was just a paper straw. The top part always turned to mush before you finished whatever you were drinking. I learned to quit using straws and, since then, use maybe two or three a year. I never understood why it’s so hard to just drink the beverage normally.

The headline use of “too” is false. The straw industry was turned upside down based on a research papers by , I think he was ten years old. There wasn’t a problem with plastic straws in the first place

If these so-called “forever chemicals” take centuries to break down, they must be pretty non-reactive, so they’re not likely to do anything too horrible while they’re in your system.

it’d be nice if they built cars out of ‘forever chemicals’.
Sneakers at least...

Living in a feminized America means worrying about all sorts of trivial matters.

If this bugs you, get a set of “bombillo” stainless steel straws like they use in South America. They sell them cheap on Amazon. It’s better to get the kind with silicon mouthpieces and a pipe brush for cleaning.

You can also look very cool in a coffee shop when you whip one out. They are like 4 for $9.

93% of the plastic in the ocean comes from Asia.

You will suck on your paper straw and you will like it.
