    Nonfunctional, huh? I was able to get liquid to go from a cup, through a paper straw and into my mouth just a couple of days ago. Of course, this is the UK. Have paper straws in the U.S. lost the power to facilitate liquid transportation?

    Yeah, I don’t really like how mushy paper straws can get either. You know what I dislike even more? The fact that I have enough microplastics in my body to make an entire box full of plastic straws.
