Straw Poll

[PollyannaMom]

S/O of the threads on Disney's new plastic-reducing measures -

Where do you fall on straw use?



(Sorry there's no "other" - I accidentally hit <enter> before I was done.)

 

[kimblebee]

Drinking out of a can- I always use a straw

The only other thing I drink with a straw is milk because i don’t like the smell.

 

[brockash]

I would've put other, I don't need them for medical purposes, but I also do want them, as in I DO mind if there's not lids/straws available, though not medically necessary.

 

[ronandannette]

I want straws, but I'd use a paper one just as happily and probably not even notice.

 

[Disneylover99]

I really don't care one way or the other. Plastic, paper, none.....it makes no difference to me. I never use one at home.

 

[Caseheidi]

I would be happy to go without, but if they give them to me I use them. I don’t really care for the paper wines. Just feel wrong.

 

[kdonnel]

I prefer them but will use none rather then a paper straw.

 

[Newsies]

I prefer to use a straw whenever I'm out because I don't want to mess up my lipstick. I've got a really cute set of reusable ones now, so I try to carry one with me whenever I go out.

 

[Colleen27]

I use one with any non-alcoholic drink with ice in it. I prefer reusable over single-use plastic, but despise paper.

 

[superme80]

I am an other. I use them, and I want them, but I do not NEED them.

 

[disneyfantotheend]

I hate paper straws and want a straw. I will probably carry my own.

 

[Nohal]

I guess I will have to carry my own supply of plastic straws. I'm not fond of the paper ones but will use them if they are available. Going to Disney in a few weeks so if they don't have plastic bags anymore I'm thinking of bringing my own. However, if they are selling reusable Disney bags I will buy one.

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

Don't use them, never have. I have a cold fetish and like the cold on my teeth. Yes I'm weird.

 

[MrsCobraBubbles]

I only drink from straws. I carry them in my purse at all times and I won't even drink out of a disposable water bottle without putting a straw into it. My teeth didn't form correctly due to a medication that my mother was on while she was pregnant with me. When my adult teeth came in, they had "soft spots" in the enamel. I have places where there is no enamel left on my teeth at all, the most painful place is my front teeth because I can't bite into or drink anything cold or extremely hot. They have been cosmetically fixed but cold or heat on my front teeth is excruciating.

I did buy some reusable straws but I don't like them, they are too big and hard, they are uncomfortable to drink from. And paper straws are gross, they taste like drinking out of a toilet paper roll.

 

[UncleMike101]

I grew up with paper straws and I'd get along just fine with them again.

I keep reading about reusable ones, but how do you carry them so they stay clean and your other belongings don’t get wet/sticky? I would have to keep one in a ziplock baggie, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting rid of plastic.

I always use straws when drinking at a public venue, for sanitary reasons. People serving drinks tend to get their hands a little too close to the brim for my comfort.

 

[mnrose]

No straws. I drink water from my refillable water bottle. Coffee with a straw is just wrong (I drink mine black from a mug). And, wine (my other beverage of choice) is REALLY, REALLY wrong with a straw. LOL.

 

[cyndiloveswalt]

I never really thought about the straw thing until it recently became a thing. I don not like paper straws. But after hearing that we use 500 million straws in the USA everyday I think we should get away from them. They should make lids at fast food places with a sipping part like a coffee cup.

 

[ols386]

I always prefer a straw when I purchase a fountain drink. I like plastic straws, but I can get used to a paper straw.

 

[amcnj]

I really tend to use them only if the beverage is to go, especially in a car. But I guess I could adjust to not using a straw even then.
