I really underestimated how passionate people are about straws. Do you have a blog per chance where you compare different straws and their manufacturers? Would you rate them on thickness, quality of plastic, how quickly liquid travels from beverage to mouth? Do you prefer straws wrapped in plastic or not? Can you describe the different subtle mouth feels?

I’m not passionate about straws. I’m just passionate about stupidity and critical thinking.

It seems odd to me that someone would question whether straws are essential, but have no problem with vacations.

I also am offended when people expressing any interest are deflected into “why don’t care about this so much?” It’s not important how passionate GP is about straws. Address the content of their message, not whether they are super interested in a topic or not.

I'm not sure where I wrote I like straws. It's more of a "I don't like the logic regarding straw bans".

Yes, paper feels way worse to drink out of, objectively.
