Day Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I get at least 5 of this pushed through the door a week when you can find a clothes recycling bin around 10 minute walk away. All I want is a straw that actually works, and no, I don't want to carry a metal one in my pocket on the off chance I will want to grab a drink whilst out.

Mostyn6 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 just take the lid off and drink like a big boy. You're past sippy-cups and straws now surely! Ramslad1992, Mucker1884, Miggins and 5 others 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Break out the old Go Henry card and buy some of these if you haven't already spent this weeks money on V-Bucks. Make sure you wash them though or you'll have a dicky tummy x GboroRam and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it a vast waste of plastic, but if you read the small print on the bags, you'll find that the vast majority are only giving a fixed amount of any money they make to the named charity - the rest makes a nice tidy profit for the people doing the collecting.....if you want to help a charity, re-use the baags and take your stuff to the local charity shop. At least you then know that the money is going where you want it to instead of into a cynical businessman's pocket.... uttoxram75, angieram and ramit 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do grown up people actually use a straw to drink? Apart from cocktails of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Don't suck your milkshake up through a straw, grow up, use a fork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Straws evidently help to prevent tooth decay by keeping sugary substances away from the teeth so perhaps David is safeguarding his molars? Mind you, these rather alarmingly animated teeth look a tad loose. Edited October 26, 2021 by Miggins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 There is only one drink in the whole world that should be drunk through a straw - McDonalds Milshake (chocolate). For all other fluids the argument is utterly, utterly irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they aren't wasted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
