I think those pasta straws are the answer, assuming we cook and eat them after.
Even if we don't I assume they would be healthier and better biodegradable right?

#52I'm sure someone probably feels strongly about this, but I will ask anyway: Do we as a society even need straws? I never use a straw at home. The only time I would consider wanting one would be for a milkshake maybe, due to its thickness making it hard to sip otherwise. I am not anti-straw, just think it is sort of a weird thing for our society to use when I stop to think about it.
When people wear lipstick and are drinking something, a straw helps keep it on. If society's going to have lipstick and people go out, I think society sorta has to have straws! See e.g. https://stylecaster.com/beauty/makeup/468366/how-to-make-lip...

#54Why does every drink need a straw, anyway?
Consumers demand it, and we chose a society that mostly freely provides goods for consumer demands. So is your issue with the free market, or is it toothless consumer elitism (I don't mean this reply to be a defense of the market either. I'm asking you to evaluate what is core to your criticism)
Except for Ad industry and marketing.

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
When drinking particularly acid drinks, juice, soda, etc., a straw significantly reduces the amount of erosion of your teeth.
I question if it actually does make a difference, and in any case, we should kill two birds with one stone and just not drink unhealthy drinks. “It’s so simple!” -Jim Gaffigan “Stop it!” -Bob Newhart

Of course you don’t need straws at home unless you have special needs, because your glass is full of drink not ice with a splash of drink.

#60He can only drink out of a cup using a straw due to the trembling and shakes.
Also, straws are fun.
