I used a paper straw once, it fucking melted in my drink because paper doesn't work well with liquids

I remember when Maccas stopped using straws in France.

They just printed on the cup - "We've stopped using plastic straws. To drink, remove lid. You're not an infant"

Don't suppose that'd work in a country of insufferable crybabies though lol

You think every American alive can't handle drinking without a straw?

Americans like ice in all their drinks. Straws are way better when there's ice. For the rest of the world it's no problem to drink from a cup.

I'm trying to imagine someone thinking that only yanks like ice in their drinks and that the other 7 billion+ people haven't discovered ice or something, and it's quite funny

It is quite an American staple. That's one thing I hear from my friends who have visited the states, that they like ice in everything.

Edit: also that's not what they said at all, what kinda trip are you on
