    Fuck paper straws but it is absurd that he is pursuing an EO on them.

    We should either use plant based plastics for them or just not use them at all.

      The answer my friend is pasta. It’s also something to nibble on if you are bored after your drink. Pasta straws are the best

        I prefer Twizzlers especially if it is in a Dr Pepper.

      Yeah, I’ve used some pretty good cellulose ones, they must cost 5% more to make though, so it’s impossible.

        My only complaint on some of the ones that I have used is that when they break, they can be pretty sharp. Doesn’t really matter to me because I am an adult and don’t have a habit of cheating on straws. But I could see that being an issue for kids.

        Or just don’t use straws if you don’t have a reason too. I can see when you have a fountain soda whilst on the road but not too often outside of that (yes, I am aware there are medical reasons but that is few and far between for most of us).

      I mean, no one is forcing you to use a paper straw if you’d prefer not to use one at all.
