Pretty sure everyone already knows that plastic straws are **** for doing blow, plus it's easier to sanitize the stainless ones after using the, ahem, alternative orifice for those of us with deviated septums. 1
dpberr Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Since restaurants have declared war on straws, the next front will be war on take home containers. You have some leftovers? You'll have to bring your own containers to the restaurant. At this point, only only then, will the Americans who eat out literally ever night of the week hemmoreging money for lousy food will have an epiphany - it's easier to eat at home.
Pete Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) The next front should be on extra packaging. And plastic bags. George Carlin said paraphrasing "we have no choice. The only thing we can choose is paper or plastic?" Well now we don't even have that choice Edited September 21, 2018 by Pete

The paper ones are just gross. I would fully be behind a high end stainless steel straw. I wonder if Yeti® could come up with something?? A $25 outdoorsy type thing. I'm such a Yeti® fan I would buy a few of them. I bought the wife a travel mug similar to a Yeti that came with a stainless steel straw, and the brush to clean it with. Oh, and Chef, and anyone else in Cali, want me to pick you up a case of plastic straws and ship them to you? 1

Kinda strange reasoning out here. You can pi$$, shite and do drugs on the street but you go straight to hell if you have the stones to light up a cigarette!

bdutton Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Has anyone checked into how much energy goes into producing stainless steel straws and what happens to them when they are ventually thrown away. Seems like its simple enough to put straws in the recycling bin. All this worry about plastics here in the us when 90% of the plastic waste that ends up in the ocean comes from two rivers in southeast asia. 1

KD in CA Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Being over the age of six, I don't really use straws anymore so not a big issue.

We use one for hollowing-out jerky to stuff the dog's medicine in so he'll actually take ingest the meds. The other hubby takes camping, and I honestly do not want to know what he needs it for when doing his survivalist-stuff.

Some are going with biodegradable cardboard straws and these are the complete opposite......to each their own. But I think the stainless steel will be a big hit with the cocaine afficianados. They may replace the giant McDonalds straws. Edited September 22, 2018 by RaoulDuke79
