    as a grown ass adult, I can’t even remember the last time I used a straw. this isn’t an important issue. more distraction.

      Bloody Marys.

      It is a little important to fix & move on, since these paper straws…don’t work too well for too long…and their binding glue is a carcinogen! It’s a good thing, like you, I tend to go without straws. 🙂

      No use, no waste. Also frequent use of straws leads to perioral wrinkles & IIRC it’s not great for your teeth.

          Very true, I was looking at a titanium straw. Idk. I should probably get one. I wouldn’t be using it every day but I’m not going to stop drinking Bloody Marys.
