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.

the glossy inside of a paper cup is actually a separate layer that is added to prevent it from getting soggy. paper straws dont have the same layer.
