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?

      Great, until some kid managed to bite and shatter one in their mouths. Even if the law suit doesn’t have teeth, you know it would be tried.

          Given how much some children gnaw on plastic or paper straws, I could easily see it happening. They are less prone to chewing on the cup/glass, though it’s not unknown. However, a drinking glass is generally a lot thicker than a glass straw. It’s also harder for a kid to put between their molars, without their parents noticing.
