Instead of paper we should have gone stainless steel. Safe, strong, reusable, fully recyclable. Ive got a few and i love em personally but i get why people don’t go outta their way to have some
As for safe, wellllll… there’s some debate on it. People have been impaled when they tripped and fell while drinking from them. They’re also a bit more difficult to clean, since you just toss a plastic straw.
This seems to be opposing objectives for a straw. If it’s strong, then it can puncture/lacerate if someone falls while carrying a drink. This has been an issue, and it has killed at least one person. I don’t want my drinking straw to be that strong. Frankly I’ll just skip the straw for the most part.

First World problems, amirite? Gotta carry your own metal straw everywhere if you don’t like mushy PFAS.
I use metal straws as well. It’s a decent option.
