Claiming the anti-straw is unscientific doesn't require that I supply a scientific argument to support using one.

Obviously there is demand for them otherwise capitalist fast food chains would have eliminated them long ago to cut costs. I don't think it's hard to see why they are useful.

I think straws are useful for the same reason take away coffee cup lids are.

The most hilarious outcome of this is the paper straws at places like Starbucks.

Feeding you coffee from a plastic cup through a cancer causing paper straw served to you wrapped in plastic.
