The fact that some paper straws perform as well as plastic suggests that the bad ones are just cheaper and are used by companies that don't care. When I used to drink the sort of drinks that use straws I carried a steel straw to use in places that didn't supply good straws

    Yeah, logistics are hard & I imagine a small bar/café doesn't have the (kind of?) staff to think about straws or where else to search for the ones that don't fill costumes with nasty shit - they just pick whatever their usual supplier has on offer so it's less paperwork.

    And it's not like anyone blamed them for shitty straws anyway.
