Reply to comment by mikere in YSK: November 1 the grace period ends, and all food service establishments must maintain a sufficient supply of single-use plastic beverage straws that are not compostable and provide these, free of charge, to any person who requests one. by BarriBlue

I don’t know why people hate them so much… they work just fine for me and don’t fall apart in the 15min I might use one before throwing it out.

For me, when I get a large soda from mcdonalds, it usually ends up sitting on my desk the whole afternoon while I take brief occasional sips. By the one hour mark, the paper straw is too soggy and so I have to take the lid off and drink without the straw. just a minor inconvenience imo that I don’t really care about

The biggest problem I have with paper straws though is it ends up giving whatever I’m drinking a tinge of cardboard flavor

I feel like you got more of a casually drinking soda over long periods of time problem then a straw problem.
