California

I would love to know the facts before a change like this was made. I am just guessing, but if this country uses X tons of plastic straws each year, I would bet that less than 1/10th of 1% is ending up in the water system. I boat all of the time. I have never seen a straw in the water. Never

Same here, plastic water bottle, yes but never a straw. Years ago I was fishing in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and came across a straw hat floating out there, very similar to the one Brian Billick used to wear at training camp in Western MD (McDaniel) College, minus the Raven bird on the front.

I mow my lawn in that hat

California is a medievalist's dream. I get to watch what happens when highly unsanitary conditions meet virulent plagues from the comfort of my chair.

It's hard to describe, but it's kind of like sucking on a lemon at first, it draws the moisture out of your lips and mouth, then it gets soggy and collapses. But at least the planet is saved. Throwing plastic straws in the trash seems to be an adequate alternative to the less efficient paper ones, but that's just me.

We got stainless steel straws for our kids. They're pretty sweet.

For home use only or do you take them with you to fast food/sit down restaurants? Just curious. That's a better option than paper straws IMO.

I've also seen bamboo straws advertised, as well as collapsible.

Do they clean up pretty easily? Are they in some sort of carrying case so they don't get all nasty in a pocket or purse?

If they are easy to clean, would seem a good transition for a sit down restaurant. Higher initial $ outlay, but reusable so you're not constantly buying the plastic or paper ones.

The stainless ones you can just toss in the dishwasher with your silverware.

The only shitty thing about them is they don’t bend, so little kids need to learn to NOT tip their cup...

There's one other shitty thing about them. They might kill you!

Only at home, but tbh, we don't go out to a ton of restaurants due to wrangling three children between 3 and 9.
