The straws apparently last one hour in cold drinks.

One hour? That's not bad. Especially if you can just grab another.

I hate paper straws man. They get gross pretty quick.

Heard the paper straws are toxic for the environment when they decay. So this is a interesting take.

Yeah that is not too bad since it is typically the average time for customers before they leave, but you would have to convince American restaurants to adopt that.

Ah, my mom was told (as a kid) that eating chocolate in the morning would give her worms. She was told other stuff too that I can't remember ATM.

LOL @ this conversation.

My mom convinced me that only women have gallbladders when she needed surgery because I was so freaked out that i'd need mine taken out.

Why dont they just use regular plastic straws and recycle them properly. In terms of waste and pollution danger, arent plastic straws a fraction of a percent?

Honestly, I don't know why companies haven't gone full in with candy straws. Sure it "rots your teeth", but if you have good oral hygiene and only have it a handful of times during the year there is nothing wrong with it. Would get rid of waste almost immediately.

Because sugar straws sound fucking disgusting.

They aren't. I've had them a handful of times. It adds a very subtle flavor to your soda barely noticeable. Obviously this is only for sodas, I wouldn't really recommend it for things like boba tea and the like, but it puts the idea out there to make edible straws.

Cardboard straws just don't cut it.

Exactly! Cups are already designed for you to be able to drink from them. When possible I skip the straw entirely.
