What are the alternatives?
It takes 21 days to break a habit and for most of us straws are just that; an unnecessary bad habit. However, some instances call for a straw, so here are some ideas:
Single use paper straws * are great for those with sensitive teeth.
Glass straws * are beautiful and stronger than you would expect (they are made out of the same glass as Pyrex), but they are slightly fatter than you are probably used to.
Stainless steel straws * are durable and easy to care for. They come in fat * (for smoothies and frozen drinks) and regular.
