    I feel like this might be an American problem, with straws being more necessary for drinking in cars, which are all too common there.

    I rarely drive and basically never drink out of a straw, there’s just no point when you can drink directly out of the cup.

      I’m unsure how much benefit reusable straws really are because at a restaurant, they’re probably gonna give you straws anyways and I don’t think they’d put unused ones back in the box, especially post covid.

      If you want like a mixed drink or a pop out of a glass while lying on the couch or in bed a straw is useful too, thats the only time i ever use them. My fiance likes a ton of ice in everything she drinks so she uses our metal straws for everything. I still prefer drinking out a can or a bottle with a screw on cap for most things when im lying down.
