      Which is the only legitimate use case, but I bet >99% of straws produced aren’t used for that.

        And you can buy bent straws in multiple materials, which are not intended to be disposable.

      No, no straws for anyone, and take away their special ramps too. It’s all or nothing because that’s the only way my argument works. Color spectrum, exceptions? All I see is black and white.
