  I’m not from the US, but know about the kind of cups you’re talking about. They’re common everywhere at fast food, and other restaurants selling food to go.

  They’re indeed designed for using a straw. When having lunch outside I typical bring a water bottle. Then buy food without drink, or refill if there’s a dispenser. It’s helps avoid unhealthy sodas, and avoid the cup and straw altogether.

  Why use straws at all?

  Straws ate useful for babies, the elderly or disabled who are unable to drink from a glass without making a mess.

  Hopefully you’re able to drink from a glass, and don’t need a straw.

  Why not stopping use of BOTH plastic straws and wasteful LLMs?
