Where do these mushy straws reside? I'm not one to get fast food or go to restaurants very often but it's always plastic.
In California. I carry around a silicone straw all the time now because I want a straw that fucking works at being a straw.

Paper straws are everywhere where I live I've also seen sugar cane and pasta stir sticks.

Don’t use a straw at all; it’s less waste and more convenient
