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?

        No idea, not in the US, we don’t have Wendy. Also in the rare occasion I do order a coke once or twice a year I’ll take a can not a fucking barrel.

        I also have sensitive teeth and stay away from ice cold drinks myself, it doesn’t have to be piss warm don’t you have anything in between over there? Fridge cold, take a sip and enjoy it slowly, pace yourself. Is plastic straws really the only solution, and is funally taking rid of them going to be the end of the world?

      Sometimes, on a hot day, an ice cold drink is very refreshing. Plus it’s a hassle having to remember to ask for no ice every time I eat out.

        Yeah it’s also a hassle to have to deal with millions of single use plastic straws going in the landfill every week.
