I'll start this segment with straws. Straws are for suckers! Well, besides that they're literally for people who suck (no offense), only lazy people who are afraid to get their hands wet and who rely on the concept of capillarity use straws.
1. Contrary to popular belief, straws actually make drinking harder. You have to inhale through your mouth to get the liquid inside. And if the straw isn't long enough, you have to either bend you neck low enough for the straw to make mouth contact or you have to use your hand to lift the glass for the straw to reach your mouth. Hmmm... wouldn't it be better to just grab the glass and drink from it. You're practically wasting more energy sucking in air while using your hand to lift or your neck to bend.
2. Straws are plastic. I think you know where I'm going at here... I'm not gonna go all environmentally-mental hippie on you but you know what I mean. Save the forest, ocean, ozone, dolphins, whales, and all endangered wildlife from possible harm by not involving yourself with the non-biodegradable system, starting with straws.
3. Straws are possible nesting grounds for some insects such as cockroaches. There has been a report back then that a woman using a straw to drink her iced tea said that it tasted bitter. It turns out that there were freakin' roach eggs in the straw. This is a reminder to all you suckers (again, no offense) to always look in your straws before using them.
4. If the liquid had to go through the container which may already have traces of bacteria, what more if the liquid goes through the straw... repeatedly?!
5. A drink has ice for example. If you use the straw, you'd be drinking all the uncooled liquid at the bottom. Unlike if you drink with your mouth, you'd be sipping all the iced stuff on top.
6. Straws are for suckers who don't wanna get their mouth wet. Drinking a cold, thirst-quenching drink with your lips moistened up is the most refreshing experience! Plus, when drinking hot drinks, you have more control over the heat if you use your mouth, unlike a straw which sends the hot drink straight to your tongue!
7. I'm saying this again, straws suck in all aspects!
There you have it, me and my big mouth have spoken. Straws suck! They always have and they always will. But if you talk about bendy straws, that's another story...
