ELi5: How did plastic straws specifically become targeted for eco-friendly banning, but similar disposables like plastic forks and spoons didn’t?
In: Culture
Off-topic but I just tried one of the new paper straws this week. They need a bit of work–there is a slight taste and texture to it in your mouth as you can feel a tiny bit of the straw come apart due to your saliva. Kind of like you’re licking cardboard. Also, I did not drink very quickly and the straw that was in the liquid started to get soggy.
What I would like to see is it becoming normal to carry around utensils and a re-usable straw of your own, and perhaps get served beverages more often in washable cups/glasses that require no straw.
