Yep. I’m all for limiting waste, but we never should’ve gotten rid of plastic straws. Paper straws DO NOT WORK. It’s as simple as that.
I’ve resorted to carrying my own straws these days, just so I don’t have to use soggy paper.
And frankly, I doubt getting rid of plastic straws had any effect anyway. They claimed here it was to protect sea turtles. I live four hours from the ocean. Unless a sea turtle knows how to use public transport, they’re not likely to get near my straw. Especially since I actually put it in the recycling bin anyway.
First of all, you’d be surprised, and second of all, while most people DO have silverware at more, they probably don’t have metal straws, and they’d also be easier to steal because they’re thinner than a fork or a knife and thus easier to conceal.

They should offer reusable metal straws
They’d just get stolen and you know it.
Idk, would it be any different than reusable metal silverware? Restaurants use those all the time. ┐( ∵ )┌
