Are folks so pathetic they cant drink from the side of a glass? R U kidding me? Most of the cups are...…. paper!!! Only plastic may touch the lips. Or so I've read.

Who in the world thought putting a paper product in a drink was a good idea ?
I had heard of such but living in the Midwest, we haven’t seen the craziness in person.
Fast forward to this week when I worked in Seattle all week. Needless to say, I was introduced to this moronic idea.
Some people could screw up an anvil with a rubber mallet. Nothing like leaving your straw in your drink for a few hours after lunch and your straw has turned into a wet noodle when you go to grab a drink.
The level of dumbfuckery knows no limits. You never had milk in a paper carton when you was in school? You can still buy liquid products in paper cartons today, whats the problem?

Paper straws were the only option when I was a kid. It didn't get any soggier than the paper cup. Of course I haven't drank anything through a straw in about 50 years.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I prefer to drink out of the side of a cup or glass. However if you are traveling in a vehicle a lid and straw are better to avoid spills, that or a bottle and cap. For the left's information. China and third world countries are the ones who pollute the oceans, not Americans. We either bury our trash or incinerate it. Almost every time I watch a survival show where people are placed near a beach in the tropics. They find all kinds of trash to use for survival purposes.
I too took my wagon around our neighborhood and collected coke and other soft drink bottles and at first got a penny for them, later 2 cents. Used the money to buy candy, ice cream, or various stuff.

Anyone recall when they started perforating straw wrappers so you couldn't launch them into your sibling's eye? Didn't stop a well-made spit wad.

I remember individually wrapped paper straws. Then some jerk found a way to put the wrapper on so we couldn't shoot them at each other. In school today they'd probably have some random resource officer arrest you if you did that, definitely need to be drugged to control your violent nature.

I don’t like paper straws. I thought I made that clear in the original post. If I had been around when they were first introduced, I wouldn’t had liked them then either.

Seems like an OK idea to me. Wonder how they actually work though. And I use so few I'm not in the market for 100 of them. Geno Wife had one of those in a milkshake she order last month. Worked well. In fact, much more rigid than plastic which worked well with the shake.

I've never seen them, then again........................we don't get out much. Ate at decent restaurant in Fairfield CA last month, but don't recall anyone getting a straw of any sort. If I see a package in the store I may get some, just for S & G's, Geno

Did you know that if you hold a paper straw in your fist with your thumb over the end you can plunge the straw through a raw potato? And yet we let kids run around with these dangerous things.
