        You can use /s at the end of a comment to mark sarcasm

      They can be, but consumers don’t like the texture of those that haven’t been treated with pfas and so they complain. Businesses will provide what gives them the least headache

          I know. I was pointing out that while the sarcasm is largely warranted, there are cases where the straws actually are environmentally friendly
