When they are fully outlawed theyll either provide paper straws or just make it so you have to drink directly from the cup.

They will provide plastic sheets of paper with adhesive on one end. Technically not straws.

Pollution issue. IIRC they've found sea turtles with straws lodged into their craniums.

This just reminded me of a mini raft I once constructed by taping a whole bunch of plastic straws together.

Oh yeah... I did my part.

Why is it a shit alternative? You realize theyll still function just fine as a straw while youre using it, right?

Unless you suck the drink down in under 30 seconds it's not going to retain its straw form for very long in that bubbly soft-drink. To make one thick enough to not dissolve would require thick paper and it wouldn't justify the amount of deforestation required to mass produce them.

...i don't think you understand. its not literally going to be as flimsy as a piece of paper or the wrapper the straw comes in. it'll be a biodegradable straw. its not going to immediately fall apart.

Wax paper straws existed long before plastic straws ever did.

And yet we switched to plastic for some reason. Kind of makes you think wax paper straws are inferior or something.

Natural selection. If you can't survive with humans, then you go extinct. No different than other species causing extinction.


You are still alive. Shows natural selection isn't perfect.

Polypropylene straw manufacturing is more cost-effective than coating a paper tube in wax. That's why.

If California wants to continuously make everything more expensive and drive out businesses and residents, then it's California's prerogative to do so.
