I havent used any type of straw in quite some time. Plastic or paper.

They do nothing for me and I think they are one of the most pointless disposal food packaging items to exist.

Edit: there are many useful applications for straws I simply didn’t think about when posting this. Thanks for the commenters for pointing this out.

    Bottle of pop. No

    Glass of water at a restaurant. Yes

    My hands shake and it’s annoying as hell when people stare at me when I’m trying to drink. So I get a straw.

      Sure, but then you’re in the accessibility scenario. It’s still a utility thing.
