I’m over paper straws. They are basically a virtue signal from businesses, they would have little to no impact on the environment. Paper straws in a plastic cup, make it make sense..

    I like the bioplastic compostable ones. Paper straws are gross and don’t work well. They also don’t transmit the temperature to the lips as well

    The sensation of them is also just.. wrong. Especially as they go soggy. I just bring reusable silicone straws around with me.

    I want to strangle a sea turtle every time I receive a paper straw.

    IDEA: straws made of ice. They make your drink cold, good for the environment, and melt way fucking slower than paper

    I mean, I’m glad we’re moving away from plastic, but there are so many other things we could’ve tackled first. I do prefer plastic straws but I’ll usually go strawless before I use a paper straw.

    Paper straws are used because they’re dirt cheap and biodegradable. They’re made by recycling saw dust and adding a binder to the powder.

    I hate them too.
