I cant remember the last paper straw i encountered. Im ok with a paper one. There are some Places i dont fully trust their dishes, kind of got that bar dip and rinse feel vice a good hot bath. Sounds stupid but in some cases i like the straw to ease my mind hoping the inside is cleaner than the edge and the outside.

Are straws the devil? It would seem to me water bottles, coke cups and lids and styrofoam to go containers would far out do the poor straw.
