Or you know, food grade stainless steel straws. No bad chemicals, doesn't turn to mush (unless exposed to temperatures of 1,400 to 1,530 °C) and fully recyclable. Some people say they are hard to wash but ive never had a problem i just stick em vertical into the silverware holder of my dishwasher and it's always gotten all the way through the straw clean.
They are cheap to produce as well. Not plastic cheap maybe but businesses could easily replace plastic straws with them without going bankrupt or anything. Easy model is just have em as an optional extra so once people already have 8 they can just use their own lol
Well, that rules out drinking McDonald’s coffee with one then.
Hey! I'm old enough to get that reference!
I think id prefer a glass straw to metal, but i get thats not something fast food could do easily.
Main issue with that is shipping, of course the government could give them subsidies to cut the costs
What's the day to day with a metal straw like?
At home it's simple but going to the mall with a metal straw in my pocket sounds uncomfortable
Just look at Every Day Carry (EDC) channels on Youtube and you will feel like a small pocket straw is fine.
I usually just keep them in the center console of my car the ones I bought came with a little nice bamboo bag thing to keep them in. So I only keep them in my pocket when I know I'm going to use them and I haven't found them to be particularly annoying in the pocket personally could always just hang the bag off a belt loop if it really bothered me though
