1. Hahahaha ha ha … “What’s the deal with these paper straws …?”

   1. … and why are they wrapped in plastic?

      1. Don’t quote me but I think it’s cellophane, not plastic. Still garbage mind you. (cellophane tends to be crinkly; feels and sounds different)
         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellophane. But then, why not make the straws from thicker cellophane? Maybe it dissolves in liquids?

         1. So I can’t become your cellophane salesman?

            1. I saw right through that quip… 😉

2. His communication skills are outstanding.

   People who criticize his grammar totally miss the point. The message is clear, terse, delivered in unambiguous language and understood by the recipient.

   The man can read his audience.

   1. The man is Shakespeare compared to Biden and Harris.

   2. Exactly right.

      BTW, the straws will kill you.

3. I actually have been hording plastic straws from my favourite old-time burger joints to use whenever I receive a paper straw. I also still have my bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup.

4. All started based off of the rantings of a nine year old.

   1. yep. here it is:

5. I recently went to a local Wendy’s restaurant and noticed that they got rid of the plastic straws and paper cups and replaced them with paper straws and plastic cups. They have managed to increase the amount of plastic going to landfills and still piss off their customers. Genius!! The level of stupid in our society is off the charts.

   1. Save the turtles: The level of stupid in our society is off the charts.

      Too TOO true. And the heavily credentialed are the stupidest—something I’ve been trying to get an IQ-obsessed friend to see.
      The upside is that my relative IQ is soaring!
      Yours too I’m sure.

6. The last time i used a straw it was part of the zippy cup.

   1. The last time I used a straw it was a pea shooter. 🙂
      You kids here probably never had one(?)…
      It’s a wonder peas never became an invasive species. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/89333300/pea-shooter-and-peas?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=toy+pea+shooter&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1

      1. The last time I used a straw, I was conducting a poll.

7. The paper straws are a 100% disappointment.. They piss me off every time.. I guess that’s the idea behind it all.. Lets have our delicious drink on a piece of recycled cardboard.. WTF..

   I know a thing or two about paper.. The recycled variety is too expensive and very few want it.. A glut of crap in the market that nobody wants.. Then our? government swoops in mandates some demand.. Brutal..

   Most of the blinking morons have no idea the paper they use was backing up to the rafters because of recycling mandates.. It failed in the market place but its success next to your Big Mac?.. Keynesian economics you stupid C-Words..

   1. Too bed we will never see him President. He could have done a lot to reign the MIC, and end the forever US perma-wars (what WOULD we do with all those young minority men in that case?) and would have absolutely smashed the US Fed Alphabet Soup.

      America is now just a Mandarin-style gangster operation, with nukes, masquerading as a country.

   2. the warehouses burn every so often , hiding the evidence. never sure if its the electriclite or the isrealite for the insurance claim

   3. I see a comedy skit. In some back room a group of envirofascists are saying “no one is stupid enough to believe this”. Cut to the future “omg they swallowed that – what else can we come up with?” It would explain a lot

8. The worst part.. Do you think the people who mandate recycled paper straws eat at McDonalds or Wendy’s?.. That would be a no.. Its alarming how stone cold dumb the average Canadian or American is..

   I say lets pretend to save the world by f@#$ing them over.. See how they like getting on the bus.. Until then we will do nothing but lose..

9. Men don’t suck on straws.

10. That stupid new Twitter logo looks like a close window button. Ugh.

11. It keeps the masses from noticing the 700 billion Trudeau pissed away and the destruction of their savings.

12. I am old enough to remember when paper straws were all that were available. Plastic straws were a serious improvement though – in my memory – the old paper straws didn’t disintegrate nearly so quickly as the new version. I suspect they were coated in something to keep them going a lot longer – some form of plastic perhaps?

    1. At the time I thought it was wax(?). Remember trying to drink a thick milkshake through the damn things?

       1. That is correct DV, wax.

13. If you carefully raise the paper straw between sips you might get to the end of a cold drink.

    A few years back I began the habit of using straws for drive thru coffee. With paper straws in seconds you have a soggy spiral of paper hanging from the lid. Tim’s are the worst followed by A&W and Mickey Dee’s. Sloppy in seconds.

    We’ll have to remember to not carry any plastic straws on our annual spring migration home. They might repurpose the drug sniffing dogs to plastic from weed.
