In all seriousness, there's some drinks that need a straw

I get it but its rather ableist.

Also you never tried drinking from a fast food drink cup full of ice. Freezes your damn lips.

You need a fucking glass for you water? Pussy.

Please enlighten me, why do u even need a straw, can't you just drink from the cup, like in the bottom pic?

*Im genuinly wondering.

Reusable straws are gross. Unless you are taking a brush to the inside every time you're kidding yourself.

Just use trough food and drink in one easy to clean vessle

Don't you need to use the metal straws some ridiculous amount of times before it saves more carbon than the plastic single use?

Also, plastic multi use is probably better.

Basically, there is very little study / regulation on PFAS and other harmful chemicals on really everything. However most food contact materials (FCM) are full of the stuff. It's almost always better to bypass and not use single use FMCs. The more of them you remove from your use, the less you pollute and the less you expose yourself to harmful chemicals.

But how do you snort cocain with a glass? I have metal straws.

I rarely use straws, only in cases where it's more convenient enough, like when I got a liter of cola at the cinema.

The only bad thing about a metal straw is the stray ceiling tile that falls on your head. Well there is probably several bad things about a metal straw, not something a skateboarder can carry in their pocket.

You can also use a chive leaf as a straw. It'll affect the taste, but it's fun to eat it afterwards
