    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.

      Straws do have their place of course; a common argument for them are seniors or those suffering from illness or disabilities. Pointing to metal and pasta straws is important to debunk the nonsense “but think about the…!” argument those crazy fools commonly use.

      Of course 90% of people can just use something else like those lids, yeah.
