    This. There also are soooo many solutions to this “problem”. I saw both reusable metal straws as well as single-use ones out of very, very hard pasta (fittingly in an italian restaurant). Got the latter with a coke (so lots of acid), it didn’t change the taste of the coke in any way even after about 50 minutes of it standing around.

    All those boomer fools crying over their plastic straws are either utterly dense or, more likely, full of propaganda bull.

      The canteen at the Costco near me just got rid of straws entirely and uses lids made to drink directly from. Seems like an obvious solution to something that’s barely a problem.
