*walking down the street in Seattle*

Guy in alley wearing trench coat: Psst

Me: Yes?

Guy: Hey, you lookin’ to score some straws?

Me: I don’t know, man, it sounds risky.

Guy: I’ve got drinking, bendy, crazy, spoon, wide, and coffee stirrers.

Me: ...Load me up.

"By the way, the United States is responsible for almost none of the plastic in the ocean. 60 percent comes from Southeast Asia. 95 percent comes from Asia and Africa combined. That leaves 5 percent split between every western country. Your straw is not a problem."

Oh that's right, meant to come back to this thread but forgot.

For the record RE my prior post (#26): I heard it reported that, sippy cup lids are included in the ban.

Plastic straw bans to basically nothing to help the environment and mainly only hurt businesses who rely on plastic straws and disabled people who depend on plastic straws

Let's all use paper straws.

Paper Straws

Who has the greatest chance of going to jail, an illegal criminal alien or a waiter who gives a plastic straw to a customer?

It’s like ethanol, green power, minimum wage and recycling. There is no benefit except that it makes liberals feel good and hurts the economy.

I see a whole new criminal enterprise springing up. Straw bootlegging. People will soon be standing outside Starbucks in trench coats selling loosie straws.
