To not like paper straws?

[RitaHayworthHair]

It's the same for wet cotton wool. Makes my teeth go funny.

Any others?

I hate paper straws too. I prefer to use a straw as it's better for lipstick. I carry a metal one around.

Wooden forks-urgh. They stick to your lips.

Oh yes the wooden forks you get in a salad are awful. I feel I need to being my own emergency cutlery as well as silicone straw out with me.

Its hypocritical really, a plastic box with a wooden fork, maybe they should do paper box and plastic fork

I hate paper straws, I just drink out of the cup.

Wooden cutlery. I’d rather not eat

Medical conditions aside, I can't see why anyone needs to drink out of a straw - just put your lips to the side of the glass and drink!

I haven't had a McDonald's milkshake since they stopped supplying plastic straws - it's impossible to drink. I need to remember to put mine in the car for next time!

Lipstick damage limitation @minniemoll !

Hate them too, but also hate drinking through a straw anyway, and very rarely do!

Also, I don't GET how people can drink through the TINY hole in the top of a takeaway coffee.

I mean WTF?

Ewwww yes and wooden toothbrushes that I tried to convert to for environmental reasons...made me teeth itch, skin crawl, the lot ewwww!

I think sipping through the little hole in a coffee cup looks like an adult sippee cup.

What hell are wooden toothbrushes

Oh they’re AWFUL.

I'm all for helping the environment but I hate paper straws. Especially in cocktails and which are drunk slowly so the straws are get even soggier

poppyonastring have you had the macdonalds daft coffee lids with the flap o ? They are by far the worst

Too right @Yesterdayforgotten. It's very important.

It is and I have my silicone straw on order!

I don’t understand why I need a straw. Both plastic and paper are wasteful. I’m perfectly capable drinking from glass, bottle or can without one.

Straws are for children

I haven't used a paper straw since I was a child in the 1970's or any other sort of straw since I was a teenager! Used to love them then as you could make them go all soggy and flat at the end! Have the same nostalgic feeling about them as I do about Sherbert Fountains when they were in paper and they went all soggy too! OP Just interested to know why are you using a straw as a grown-up and for what?!

I can drink out of those coffee cup lids too. Nothing wrong with an adult sippee cup. I have started taking my own cup to the coffee shop so no more of those lids.

Straws are for children full stop.

NotGenerationAlpha what about on the go though? And surely you dont mean the plastic macdonalds coffee lids with the flap on? They are horrendous to drink from.

@Yesterdayforgotten I usually only buy coffee on the go during work days and I have a glass keep cup and a plastic one in the office. In the weekend I tend to sit in and drink.

With the Macdonald’s one, you can tug the flip into inside the lid so it stops flipping. It’s my pet hate Macdonald’s do not use reusable plates and cups. But my children are partial to happy meals so unfortunately I do get Macdonald’s coffees regularly.
