Paper Cup?
Nooooo plastic lined! Consider bringing your own. Here are some funky options.
Plastic Pints
Grim! Try a steel tumbler.
Straws Arghhh….
If you are out and about please, please refuse the plastic straw. Watch a turtle having a straw removed from his nose here if you want to know why.
If you must drink through a straw consider bringing your own reusable. Here are some options…
Reusables reusable stainless steel , glass or bamboo straws
Disposable Compostables If you need a disposable straw at least make it cornstarch compostable disposable straw.

Thanks Pam! People who think straws are a small issue should work a shift in a restaurant. The straws here, are wrapped in plastic individually, then most of them come in plastic boxes, that come in bigger boxes wrapped in plastic. They wash up at my feet when I´m working on the tideline all the time. Yes, there are other plastic issues (a lot! Don´t get me started!) but straws are one of them, they´re not exempt. & they are SO easy to not have. I see people take them straight & put them on the table.
I can still get drunk & have fun without straws! People should try it.
Blimey I remember those. Remember they used to get soggy and stick together so you couldn’t suck anymore? No, I haven’t seen them anywhere in ages. If you check out the carnival post featuring your movie there is a link to start alternatives. I need some cos they will not stop giving me straws over here in Asia. Driving me nuts.
I remember paper straws from way back then…Tried to find some, a while ago. Are they still being sold ?
yurk - least I know where my lips have been - well usually….
I say no straws! I used to work in a resturaunt and they’re so unhygenic. I saw waitresses put them in drinks with their dirty hands, or after they were on the floor. Blech!
