Listen, I'm totally down for bioplastic straws. They've got a different texture and are far more brittle, but still compostable and lasts more than long enough for me to enjoy my drink.
I don't get why customers at my work hate them so much. To the point some will bring their own straws if we don't have the regular plastic milkshake straws.
It's weird...
Saw in an Italian LIDL, noodles repackaged as straws. Didn't try them but they should taste terrible, especially with hot drinks (and lethal for celiac people)
Just hand out twizzlers for everything. Double points if you can bite the ends off and then jam it into the cup for the customer before handing it to them.
