Paper or plastic?
Nowadays, it’s commonplace to find paper straws at various restaurants and establishments, as awareness of the environmental harm of plastic is growing. Well, at least in more liberal states. Boomers have opinions about most things, and they have a strong opinion about those paper straws as well.
Finding a plastic straw these days is like finding a unicorn – it’s sometimes colorful and smooth as butter. Not to mention, boomers love them. While paper straws are better for the environment, we’ll admit that plastic straws are simply better for drinking. Paper straws get soggy after a few minutes and then your beverage tastes like … paper. Paper drink. Yum!
