People bitch and moan about straws. But this thought occurred to me recently, why don’t they offer reusable ones instead and just wash it with other tableware?

    They would make it if there was demand, but that won’t happen without forced adoption of the metal straws in the first place.

      I’m sure the hygiene issues would overshadow the reusability issue. Folks won’t be happy the first time they get a chunk of somebody else’s dinner when they take a sip of their drink. People abuse dishes in restaurants in very creative ways.

      Glass straws might be better, if only because you can see anything that’s lodged inside.
