People often talk about swapping out plastic straws for other materials to help the ocean/fish and the environment, but they also complain about paper straws falling apart easily. Other alternatives that are slightly more sturdy like straws made of straw don’t seem very common.
But do we even need straws? My first reaction was that any liquid can be drunk directly from the vessel it’s in, and straws just add another level of convenience. If we don’t want to use plastic straws and the alternatives mostly suck (actually all straws suck 🤓), why not just ditch straws entirely?
This is actually something my dentist recommended as it helps reduce the amount of acid and sugar from the soda from saturating your teeth.
Exactly what i meant! I don’t drink any sugary substances, but the acid is detrimental to one’s teeth.
