Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Paper straws,really?

R U kidding me? Most of the cups are...…. paper!!! Only plastic may touch the lips. Or so I've read.

All the worlds problems and these are the solutions our elected officials come up with.

I drink from Styrofoam, [bleep] them all.

Edible straws?

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?

UH, didn't we have paper straws for -- like 50 years ??

That's what I've been thinking, back in 50's era I thought they were paper.

They were indeed paper then.

They also got soggy back then too.

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.

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.

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.

If you live long enough, through a straw might be the only way you drink.🍹

We had paper straws at school, when I finished high school.... 1970. That would be 50 years ago, but we had them.

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.

Where was that Pugs? On the East Coast or were you folks visiting us Westerners?

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,

Time was we did not know any better, we just used what was there.

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.
