Are Straws Still a Necessity for Drinking?

[Pengwuino]

Do you still use straws?

My friend just said only 5 year olds use straws. I'm using a straw to drink my coke! Straws are awesome in my opinion, how about you?

I bet a lot of people use straws! Seriously, i don't like my teeth hitting the ice because it gets cold. Ok that was possibly one of the most babyish things I've ever said in my life. My god what am i coming to. Straws rules, that's it.

I'm drinking out of a straw right now.

I only use straws when I get fast food and it's the only way to get the drink out of the cup without taking the lid off, which would make the cup too flimsy and prone to spilling. Besides, with fast food, they always put too much ice in the drink so you end up with a mouth full of ice cubes if you try sipping without a straw. The rest of the time, no straws. I don't think it's childish or anything though. If someone liked a LOT of ice in their drinks, they'd probably need it. Just don't use a straw at a fancy dinner party.

A straw to drink. That plastic pipe thing you use to drink.

I'm with Moonbear on this one.

Only at fast food restaurants.

Is it ok to stick them up your nose and pretend you're a walrus?

I am with MB and Jason here as well, I use straws when at fast food places, otherwise I drink from a water bottle.

How can anyone like diet soda? I mean really, our bottled water tastes better then diet coke... but then again i really like our bottled water.

Does anyone else get this? If i ever leave bottled water out for a day with the cap closed... it always smells weird! What's with that??

Well, a milkshake tastes better than water, but I'm on a diet.

Drink water It's yum!

It's got to be ice cold. And only a certain brand of mountain water the the Evo Child bought me, it was heavenly.

I can't remember the last time everyone jumped so quickly to agree with me! Am I dying? How long do I have left?

6 months... we're all very sorry

 

[Moonbear]

And I was going to try to go to sleep early tonight, but now I'm afraid to miss out on anything in my short time left.

(Actually, I do need to get to sleep...I have to have enough rest to be VERY patient teaching someone how to do some stuff tomorrow, because I know it's going to try my patience greatly.)

Did you drink out of it? Because then its probably bacteria.

Yes...

Well actually it happens when i drink from it and when i don't drink from it (just have it there in the open)

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

I drink from straws when I have a drink at a bar, unless it's a beer or martini ofcourse. Other than that I don't really ever use straws. Most things I drink straight out of the container they came in.

Anything with ice I'll use a straw, which basically means soda at restaurants. I hate ice in my coke.

That's a guaranteed sign that a guy is a bachelor!

'Cause women really hate efficiency, right ?

I hate straws. Especially if you're trying to drink through one while driving. If you miss your mouth, it can be really embarrassing.

Just driving? I was walking out of a round table with a soda and shoved the straw right up my nose

The water around here actually is bad enough to warrent bottled water. They use so much chlorine because of all the agricultural activity in this county
