    why do you need a straw to begin with? as an adult you should be able to drink out of anything without making a mess.

    Why didn’t he just remove the lid – which is plastic, btw – and drink straight out of the cup?

    Because of certain physical aspects, some people need to use straws. There are such things as reusable plastic straws.

    Since many restaurants are adopting this idiot thing of no plastic straws you can bring your own. I have one in my purse.

    If they want to cut back on straws, maybe they should start using coffee style sipping lids for all drinks in all sizes. And yes, you could still be a punch out hole for those that want/need to use a straw.

    The priority is virtue signaling. Then profiting from all of it. Then ….

    Civilized people do not drink while they walk. The only reason to carry a cup in the street is because you bought it in a shop and are bringing it to your place, where you will have a proper straw, or spoon or other container that will help you enjoy the beverage.

    I’m 85 years old, when I was young we just had paper straws. No problem. Just don’t chew on them.

    For people who do NOT have disabilities requiring a straw: Your need to suckle must be Freudian somehow. Just drink it from the cup like you would at home.

    Wastefulness is another thing that needs to be a priority. Take off the lid and finish your drink!!

    Metal straws, Bub. Washable and permanent. They sell them. Got mine at Save-On Foods.

    Seriously? Pop off the lid and drink from the cup like an adult. I think I have a hint how you vote…

    The straw, the lid, the cup: the trifecta of trash that litters the road side and natural areas. My spouse and friends who walk for exercise are picking up after up you! Be the solution instead of the problem. DUH!

    A local chain of burger shops here is environmentally aware. Their straws are actually made from plants and last a little while longer letting you finish your drink before they start to dissolve.
