Starbucks to the rescue

I think they meant that each straw has its own plastic bagging

Yeah, that's what I meant, but I'm surprised by that level of hypocrisy

Well not only that but also the sort of sippy cup lid they made in order to "not need" straws takes more plastic than the regular lid. It's just the PR trend of the day.

Activist du jour hypocrisy should not surprise you.

Instead of poo-pooing, refine and improve on a good idea.
Perhaps we'll soon live in a society where all straws are made of licorice?

And then no-one would ever drink from straws ever again.

There are bad liberals, sure.
Dismissing good ideas based on political leanings (at best) is insane.
