We switched to stainless steel straws at home years ago and they're great, no complaints. I've always hated paper straws, they get soggy and gross. Guess this is another reason to stop using them.

But I understand that using stainless in the food service industry wouldn't work. I would be checking inside the straws all the time cause you have to wash those things properly. Maybe they should just use pasta.

Just use glass straws?
