Although current reusable straws help to combat the huge single-use plastic waste problem, they contain their own complications. Many alternatives have a weird taste & texture that makes drinking not fun! Who said saving the planet would leave a bad taste in your mouth?
Not only do these alternatives suck, but they're also basically hard to clean! The inside of straws is a breeding ground for nasty, hidden germs who thrive in dark, moist places. Without having a way to clean the inside effectively (let's face it, pipe cleaners are not the best tools to clean the inside of these thin straws), these germs grow and multiply! And guess what happens when you decide to take a sip of your favorite drink with your moldy, contaminated reusable straw? What's even worse is that you can't see what's going on inside the straw. Sorry, you're not invited to this party.
