Out of curiosity, why do you need a straw when drinking?

Other than milk tea with pearls I can't really think of a drink that requires straws to drink.

Some restaurants serve soft drinks with ice that is divided into very small chunks instead of decent sized cubes (probably to get more surface area for faster cooling).

Many find it annoying to drink those without a straw.

Ah good point, hadn't thought of margaritas and slushies.
