    After reading about that lady who died because she fell on a metal straw and impaled her eye and brain I threw away my metal straws.

        Yeah that could happen with a fork, or a toothbrush, or really anything that size if you land on it hard enough

          You don’t typically walk around with those in your mouth, especially outside your home

                I normally just use a reusable metal waterbottle, no straw required. Although sometimes I just drink it enough that it has less risk of spilling in an open cup, even in a vehicle

                  I also carry a water bottle with me but I can’t exactly go to the coffee shop and ask them to pour my latte into my bottle

              As a kid I had to go to hospital because I ran around with a toothbrush in my mouth and fell on it
