Yes, but also just use a hard plastic reusable straw for drinking savory things that have no business tasting like a fruitloop.
OseaDidNothingWrong
Jesus, haven't even thought about cereal straws in years.
SkeltonCensusOfficer
Dude those straws were the shit why were they ever discontinued
alcaray
When I was a kid there were FlavorStraws. They had porous inserts with various flavors that made milk taste like chocolate or strawberry.
railgap
1. it is shameful to make these. 2. it is shameful for a parent to buy these.

Cookie straws and meat straws still exist, repostman
dumspirospero787
Haha I never knew these even existed. Bring them back!!
InfraSound
Yes
alpacasaurusrex
Can you imagine drinking soda with those though? Gag.
jayar1st
Yes please

...packed in plastics.

Twizzlers

Better idea, keep the plastic straws, get rid of the plastic cups.
DuchessGummiBunns
I second this motion
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Also, what exactly are handicapped People supposed to use?
GriffQuizzle
Instead of straws, how about we ban CVS from printing receipts for a year.

CAntthenuclearapocalypsecomesoicanjustdiealready
Straws are wasteful and the people who actually pick up the garbage should have some say
overlordchris666
Twizzlers work too. Pixy sticks too I think.
EnJnY
Dude...twizzlers with Frozen coke!

Sour punch straws

Funniest shit about the enviro conscious stuff is the moves to get rid of single use plastic bags, unless you reuse those "green bags" 200+
PardusXY
times, you're actually doing more environmental harm...

I read this with Chris Traeger’s voice.

Red vines should be advertising like crazy in California. Edible straw. Buy stock now
a07joshuajj
on behalf of the dentist association, i agree with you
VladTheInhaler1
Man I remember those. They were god awful
DirtRagFartStain
How could they be bad? Wasn't it just Froot Loop cereal extruded in a tube?
VladTheInhaler1
In theory. It just has a weird taste? I can't really even explain it.
DirtRagFartStain
I still want to try it. This isn't even normally my type of thing. I bought pistachio flavored Oreos a few days ago. Something's happening.
VladTheInhaler1
Well good luck on that man. Maybe you'll like them. Maybe I'm just remembering them wrong, who knows. I just remember not liking them.
Lutherthepitbull
WTF! How did my chubby ass miss this?
ColourBlindMillwright
You're young.
BlueDsc
You didn't miss much. They really weren't all that good.
Tlaxxil
It was eternally stale and was just gross
GreenLantern15
Never had the chance to try one as a kid.
itrymybesttooffendsomeone
You shut your whore mouth the fuck up right now they were the good diddly damn best thing to replace a straw you slimey cunt
MyNameIsJesusAndIStealHubcapsFromCars
they were terrible at being cereal, and awful at being a straw; fight me!
Lupine1982
Yeah, cause that plastic and foil packaging just evaporates into fairy dust.
skirtwearingdude
Worth it
wheelow
Captain serious business over here
CE1Pirate
Well that's good to know, I was worried it could harm the environment.
LocalZoophile
Let's make the packaging out of cereal?
MeeseInABucket
Yeah, cause the thing we really miss about edible straws is the packaging they come in.
TGWeaver
No you idiot, they're talking in the context of environmental impact. The packaging is the problem, not something they're nostalgic for.
CatWheezle
You missed the point he was making: that recreating the bad old packaging was unnecessary to recreate the straw itself.
beardedbeerdeer
Only the packaging being plastic, instead of both the packaging AND the product inside, is a step in the right direction, innit.
ShowALK
I haven't seen a straw in plastic wrapping in a long time. Almost always paper.
Skywalker2416
That CA straw shit is so God damned retarded....
LightlyUsedBooks
Yeah, but to be fair it's just as easy and barely more expensive to provide paper straws.
stopcorrectingmyfukinggrammar
It started with charging 10¢ a bag but weed is legal so at least for me that makes up for it
ImUglyIRL
Is it? Tell that to the choking sea life.
SassyPiplup
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/plastic-straws-clog-ocean-hurt-fish-now-there-s-growing-n877356 The experts agree it's dumb.
ImUglyIRL
The experts from the 'Plastics Industry Association'?
Skywalker2416
You know how it got banned? A BS study by a 9 yr old in 2011 Thats since been debunked. Aka. Bullshit
ImUglyIRL
If you need a 9 year old to tell you that plastic straws are bad for the environment...
Skywalker2416
Way to deflect SSgt. Deedaddle Dumbfuck
RoseThistle
Plastic straws are a horrible thing to ban. Some disabled people require them to drink safely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IBH0pcKzlY
ImUglyIRL
You don't need a source for that statement. It's obvious. My retort is something biodegradable.
RoseThistle
There is currently no biodegradable replacement/alternative for plastic straws. This is explained in the video. I suggest you watch it.
DavidFrostbite
6 pack holders are still being sold, but straws are the enemy. There are so many other plastic things we could ban. Paper straws are shit.
ImUglyIRL
There's always a beginning. You can't just ban everyrhing plastic in one fell swoop unless you have the abolity to replace it.

Mmmm. Mcdonald's actually voted against this whole straw thing, and i'd think they make a lot more money than common restaurants. /1
DavidFrostbite
Straws need to be made of plastic, because they sit in your drink. A plastic bag ban makes more sense than banning fucking straws.
LavaAxe
Why don't they make sense? They're too small to be picked up at recycling.

If only it was available in more places than a stand in New York. Sincerely, a Floridian.
jessicacupcake
That’s useless to me :(
Murrdogg
Kelloggs has an irl stand? Is it just a bar that sells bowls of cereal? O_o
overlordchris666
A bar that sells cereal too???......I can only imagine. ^__^

Well I know where I'm going tomorrow

My best friend works down the road on 17th, see you there?
Bubblerocket
mail me some
overlordchris666
I'm not driving 12hrs to get a f***ing straw!
AntennaDibb
especially when you have to deal with NYC traffic too, you may as well kill me first
Drixelix
Well if we’re using that logic not even New Yorkers would want to go
Everaye
Yes you are. Why do you lie?
keebs63
Sounds like they're probably going to use it to gauge public interest and maybe release it on a mass scale if it's a hit
Juggalomidgetparty
2 hours for me and still not worth it.
Juggalomidgetparty
besides, I bought 10k straws
snoochslayer
But it’s to save the earth, you monster!
Blue5679
It'd take me 41 hours if I drove the entire time with no stops
overlordchris666
How you filling up with no stops???
Blue5679
I didn't take any stops into account but that's cause I wouldn't be going anyway
overlordchris666
Aawww
efemral
It's only 30 hours from Sydney. Worth it!

By car? You must have a fast car for it to go over water

Heyoooooo

What about if the straws reproduce asexually?
overlordchris666
That would be kinda cool and worth it.
