Who is willing to work as a group to urge restaurantures to switch to biodegradable paper straws and take out containers? I am, anyone else?
Paper straws are not very good for drinking foo foo frozen drinks through. They get all mushy and colllapse before I can finish my drink. Having said that, the other day I was served a paper straw that was the best paper straw I ever saw. It held its shape and can easily stand up to a Pina Colada. I can't remember which restaurant uses this excellent paper straw.
