Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Local restaurant now only uses paper straws. They are coated in wax, and work just as well as the paper ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 "What is wrong with you people?!" I believe Ms. Benes was referring to the coffee shop clientele as a whole, so no offense was meant to any specific group with regards to race, colour, creed, sexuality, gender. Unless knife and fork candy bar eaters have been identified as an oppressed group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Since we get only paper straws out here I now appreciate a decent straw when I can get one. The paper ones are just gross. I would fully be behind a high end stainless steel straw. I wonder if Yeti® could come up with something?? A $25 outdoorsy type thing. I'm such a Yeti® fan I would buy a few of them.

Fadingpain Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I don't use straws, but if I did, it wouldn't be made out of stainless steel. Alters the flavor of anything you are drinking. It's like drinking out of plastic cups. That's another thing I don't do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have computer programs, sophisticated in-house programs that hides steel between warehouses in Canada and US. To beat the tariffs. Where are the regulators. Stainless is big here on the Waterways. Probably moved over a million ton if not more in scrap...This past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Since restaurants have declared war on straws, the next front will be war on take home containers. You have some leftovers? You'll have to bring your own containers to the restaurant. At this point, only only then, will the Americans who eat out literally ever night of the week hemmoreging money for lousy food will have an epiphany - it's easier to eat at home.

Pete Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) The next front should be on extra packaging. And plastic bags. George Carlin said paraphrasing "we have no choice.

bdutton Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Has anyone checked into how much energy goes into producing stainless steel straws and what happens to them when they are ventually thrown away. Seems like its simple enough to put straws in the recycling bin. All this worry about plastics here in the us when 90% of the plastic waste that ends up in the ocean comes from two rivers in southeast asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
