Why don't people use drinking straws much these days?!


Question:

Why don't people use drinking straws much these days?

Years ago, people used straws to drink their drink--then even more so when the bendy straws came out. But not so much anymore. Wonder why?


Answers:
Straws were more popular when disposable/paper cups were less common and were of lower quality. Also, dishwashing machines didn’t do as good a job of sanitizing as they do today.

Restaurants encourage folks to use straws because they drink faster using a straws than when they drink from a glass.

I use straws myself, I don't like to drink straight from a glass at a restaurant. I see lots of people here use them, and when I used to wait tables, most of my customers did too unless drinking water..

i do all the time. I have tons in the drawer. I agree with the first lady, I don't ever like to drink from a glass at a restaurant.

it tastes so much better from a straw

because when i am really thirsty i don want a straw i want to finish my drink with out a freaking straw cuz it tastes soooo much better strawless

I always drink from straws. The reason? My dentist says a smaller amount of the beverage will land on my teeth. Therefore; if the beverage has sugar, less sugar will end up on your teeth. Makes sense to me!

which bars have u been drinking in ?

I still use drinking straws. They're fun and cute.

We still use straws. I guess it was just a fad for most people to drink with a straw.
