Question

Just wondering about this as a I see a co-worker drinking multiple cups of coffee from same cup. And then whenever I get a drink while im out and then give me a paper straw, it becomes useless if I don’t finish the drink quickly.

I think we should use pasta straws…like long ziti. Then you can boil your used straws and eat them.
