Paper straws suck.

They just do. My name is Gerald Shaffer, I own Shaffer Foods and this is my opinion.

Paper straws suck. When they aren't sticking in that horrible way to your lips - or in mere minutes feeling like a mushy make out session - paper straws are adding dangerous PFAS to your drink.

Paper straws suck and not in that sort of funny play on words way either, no, they are just terrible, bad for you, bad for the environment - both in production and as waste - and everybody hates them. So why are they so popular in restaurants?

Lack of Choice from the Big Suppliers

With the demise of plastic straws a massive whole was opened. If restaurateurs didn't think straws were an essential item they certainly know better now. Unprepared and desperate to offer their customers and alternative to plastic, bar owners contacted their big suppliers - who contacted china and said "what do you have to replace those ocean polluting plastic straws you've been selling me since the 60's?" China said paper straws are what you get now and that's the end of it. Masses of - not so cheap - christmas themed chemical filled tubes. Yuck.

But wait. Is There A Choice?

Yes! There is a choice. A fantastic choice in fact. A choice so amazing you will wonder why you didn't know about it sooner.
