How come paper cups can hold hot coffee for hours, but a paper straw turns to mush after 10 mins?

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.

Because the coffee is only on the inside. If you put the cup in a bucket of water it would also get mushy
