  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.

      I don’t need one but i know plenty of old/disabled people for who a straw is a necessity.

      I am happy we moved away from plastic straws being mainstream but i also feel like there should have been possible exceptions for medical use. The paper and aluminium alternatives are really not that good.

    i don’t think most people use straws because they have no other way of drinking lol

    Some do, sure…

      That’s the whole problem. You’re considering what most people do, but not a minority who already have extra burdens in their life.

  $20 metal straw? I think all the metal ones I have were about .25

    The lead ones are more expensive but improve the flavor of most beverages.

  What happened to those Italian pasta straws? They looked promising.

    They aren’t gluten free, so not very inclusive
