Plastic Straws?

No kidding!

 

[musicFunsun]

I have all of the plastic straws

 

[Dana757]

As far as I can tell plastic straws are alive and well in SoCal. Very rare I get a paper one.

True… but I keep several plastic in my cars, I will go out and get one if I get a paper straw.

You mean the paper one in a plastic wrapper??? Fucking genius's they are. Some politicians brother in law bought a paper straw making business.

I've gotten plenty of paper straws, many are not your fathers paper straws. Most will survive the life of my drink(if I use one). Most impressive are the ones made with corncob material, they feel and look like plastic.
.
More than anything, even though restaurants are not supposed to just drop straws on your table randomly I've had handfuls left for us we never asked for or needed.

Canada as of Jan 1st banned all single-use plastic. I stocked up on plastic forks, knives, and straws.

 

[Meaney77]

Nothing drives me more crazy than going thru McDonalds and asking for a straw....

 

[HNL2LHC]

The replacemetn straws use are more brittle and crack If you look at them wrong.

Yep..Same here. Haven't had a paper straw in a long time. Just plastic in a paper wrapper.

Remember when the big deal used to be disposable diapers "clogging our landfills". Now it's straws killing the dolphins.

Is that a dead alien in front of that black tarp?

What about the trees??………….

What's the problem here...

What about the trees??………….

There is unrest in the forest
Trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, "Oppression"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
They say, "The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light"
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

Kind of hard to drink out of a rolled up bill.
Not impossible but not convenient either.

So I used to sneak vodka into Giants games in San Fran. I’d buy a large 7up or whatever but could not find any kind of straw to stir it with. No straws at all.

Finger it.

I started taking straws into Padres games after the first time I had to use a paper straw. They also did not have lids for fountain drinks which is ridiculous.

Well duh but straw stirred drinks always tastes better.

Yea, I eventually started doing that too.
Pretty stupid having to smuggle straws.

I think of that poem every morning as I exit my house and walk down along my garden path towards my work truck. I have a ritual I do every morning. I have this beautiful 100 year old oak tree that sits in my yard and has an old wooden bench next to it which is where I keep my hatchet. I bury that hatchet into the fucking oak tree everyday when I leave and I swear I can hear that old bitch of a tree scream as it drops the damn acorns all over my truck. Kinda gives me peace and harmony to start my day.

My wife has celiac disease and found out the hard way that some paper straw manufacturers use a flour based paste to glue the straw. Fuk paper straws

Be glad it’s not a pine tree, and have to listen to those pine cones fall into on the truck.

Don't remember where but I've had a drink with an edible straw. Pretty much tasteless though.
