    Hot coffee through a straw?

    Isn't that a good point? Wouldn't a paper straw go soggy?
    Can you still get plastic straws where you live?

    Paper straws are worse for the environment than plastic...do you think we will go back to plastic?

    If you do need/want a straw, can't you opt for a reusable glass or metal straw?
    Don't I have four of each? (Aren't the glass ones too thick to fit thru the hole in at least one of my tumbler lids)

    Don't I have an aversion to metal straws after reading an article about a woman who died in a freak accident - stabbing herself with a metal straw affixed in the lid of a Mason jar?

    Don't they come with a handy dandy cleaning brush?

    What makes you think paper ones are environmentally worse than plastic ones??

    Where I live plastic ones are no longer sold - so don't I think chances of going back to them are nil?

    Didn't you read the recent scientific study that identified more harmful "forever" chemicals in paper straws then plastic ones? And aren't paper straws usually in plastic wrappers?

    Aren't there a lot of 'may' and 'could' in those reports?

    I haven't seen individually wrapped ones here, have you?

    Didn't I read that study just the other day? Isn't it a shame that most single-use straws contain PFAs... and "animal studies suggest that an accumulation of these chemicals over time could cause a range of appalling side effects, including liver damage, a weakened immune system, underweight babies and even infant death"? Haven't I gone almost completely straw-less?

    despite my previous facetious remark about simultaneous coffee and straws and typing - don't I not use straws at all myself?
