As a frequent Starbucks purchaser/moron I can tell you they do. Most you just have to ask they dont keep them out anymore. My kid always wants a straw and have never been turned down. Some places have paper ones but they still have them. Saving turtles is so 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Dunkin donuts > reused coffee grounds > toilet water > folgers > Starbucks. That's my rankings anyway. Just no to paper straws. Stainless steel ftw. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Maybe I live a very weird and unusual life, or maybe I just go to the wrong places, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a paper straw anywhere. Then again, I don't drink coffee. And dammit, the chalkboard comment just gave me bad flashbacks to middle school when teachers would have us write stuff on the board, and the kid with terrible handwriting would make the chalk squeak with every other word. Stuff that nightmares are made of... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my rankings anyway. Just no to paper straws. Stainless steel ftw. My kid and I like the Starbucks refreshers and the cold brew. Pumpkin Cold brew is amazing! Paper straws are the absolute worst. Best straws are the ones made from corn or other real food materials as they still are solid like plastic but are edible for wildlife and i believe deteriorate quickly but not too quickly to finish your drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Let's put it this way: the hipper the place the soggier the straws. Sounds like you need to get out more @TheWatShot. 😎 BTW, how did we end up talking about straws? haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go to Starbucks it's for something other than their normal coffee. Just tastes bitter to me. I do like the non coffee drinks and some of the food stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got paper straws at Chic-fila the other day....what is this world coming too! Don't these people know that God put dinosaurs and prehistoric plants and animals on this earth so we could drink through a decent straw without it splitting or becoming a wet mess?! I mean after all they mastered God's chicken surely they couldn't screw up something as simple as a straw lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Obviously we will find out this weekend what the deal is w/Kopp but just checked Bloomington police log and nothing I see suggesting any arrest or ongoing case located by the sample gates.

Steubenhoosier Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Pretty sure Kopp knew there were a bunch of bored guys on message boards waiting for the season to start, and wanted to give them something to talk about until Tuesday. Metal straw>paper straws>plastic straws. Locally owned coffee shops over Starbucks all day, every day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it but ended up just removing the lid from my drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
