    Maybe beverages could be served in containers that don’t require a straw. I wouldn’t mind being served a can or a bottle instead a cardboard cup.

      The main issue is drinks with ice. But maybe we could add a retainer on top of the glass to hold the ice so we can sip directly from the cup.

        My teeth make pretty good retainers. It seems like a weird nostalgia thing. There must be far more pop consumed in a bottle than in a fast food cup, and I’ve never seen anyone put a straw in a bottle (except on tv).

          They used to do straws in glass bottles, back when glass bottles for soda were a big thing. Maybe it’s a sanitary thing?

          The cold is a bit too much on my teeth unfortunately.

          Weirdly, in south eat Asia they often give you straws in bottles. I don’t know why.
