I havent used any type of straw in quite some time. Plastic or paper.
They do nothing for me and I think they are one of the most pointless disposal food packaging items to exist.
Edit: there are many useful applications for straws I simply didn’t think about when posting this. Thanks for the commenters for pointing this out.
I don’t mind them in my water bottle with a flip up cap, but yeah, if I’m using a cup a straw seems pretty pointless.
