This. There also are soooo many solutions to this “problem”. I saw both reusable metal straws as well as single-use ones out of very, very hard pasta (fittingly in an italian restaurant). Got the latter with a coke (so lots of acid), it didn’t change the taste of the coke in any way even after about 50 minutes of it standing around.
All those boomer fools crying over their plastic straws are either utterly dense or, more likely, full of propaganda bull.
The canteen at the Costco near me just got rid of straws entirely and uses lids made to drink directly from. Seems like an obvious solution to something that’s barely a problem.
Straws do have their place of course; a common argument for them are seniors or those suffering from illness or disabilities. Pointing to metal and pasta straws is important to debunk the nonsense “but think about the…!” argument those crazy fools commonly use.
Of course 90% of people can just use something else like those lids, yeah.
Paper straws are terrible. I feel like there should be more pressing things for the president to deal with than banning them though…
