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.

A lot of the new plastic straws are compostable where I live.
Yup, sugarcane plastic
Seattle
Paper straws are everywhere where I live I've also seen sugar cane and pasta stir sticks.
In my area I can sometimes find these light blue colored ones that are super rigid, I think they're made of agave? Regardless of the material, I think they're actually just better than plastic for once.
A couppe years ago, there was a big craze around paper straws.
