Disney Parks to Ban Straws

[Darkbeer1]

I got a paper one recently and didn't like it. It was not very solid, and wouldn't want another. I will play my ADA card if needed in the future, due to my limited hand skills. And a trip and fall accident to a human is much more important if I spill my drink on the floor.

Well, it's a start. Or something.

I was in Florida last week (not Disney) and the hotel bar used paper straws. #dislike

 

[Stevek]

I think that's off topic. Besides, outside of preschool, who would use a uncooked noodle to drink a soda?

Or as decorations on the outside of Guardians of the Galaxy Terror Tower

Give SteveK a Cupie Straw

Just give me a sippy cup full of Krakatoa drink from Trader Sam's

But seriously, I thought the straws wouldn't go away until sometime later in 2019. Still available at WDW along with plastic bags.

Of course, this is just a politically correct image thing, something that some California Residents care about.

In reality, it won't change a thing, and actually does harm to some individuals, and removes convivence to many others.

Paper, pasta or bamboo, I really don't care which replacement society chooses. However, doing away with straws altogether is not acceptable.

People feeling better about themselves for doing something that doesn't make a difference is priceless though.

Straws were put on this Earth so man could blow bubbles in his fat free but still delicious chocolate milk. They're a blessing.

My California located University finally pulled the trigger on the straw ban. So now I’m eating my Panda Express from a plastic bowl that has a plastic lid, covered with soy sauce from a plastic packet, with my plastic fork, drinking my soda from a plastic cup with a plastic lid, opening my plastic wrapped fortune cookie. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You monster.

And in related news, using a Real Christmas Tree is more Environmentally friendly than an artificial one.. I know, what a shock.....

You monster.

The irony is that I was doing those things there.....at the place that the straws are banned. Talk about picking your battles. I lose the convenience of having a straw while still inundated with 10x the plastic with the other elements around my meal.

An artificial one lasts for many years. A real tree dies in a couple of weeks but gets recycled by the trash truck. Years ago I got tired of dealing with a real tree. The buying it, dragging it home, putting it in the tree stand, cleaning up pine needles. It just wasn't worth the effort. Now we have 15 large artificial trees scattered throughout the house all themed differently. People give us old trees or we buy them on clearance after Christmas. They look fantastic!

Now that Disney has single handed saved the ocean's wild life from straws stuck in sea turtle's nose, a new threat has appeared.

Eel stuck in rare seal's nose. We must make a global ban on eels.

 

[D.Silentu]

You know, for a moment there I thought this enterprising seal had evolved to have a drinking straw appendage, since they are now so hard to come by.

I read that Saturn may lose its rings in 100 million years. What is the US going to do to prevent that?!?! I think plastic silverware would be next on the list of things to ban, right? Because we have to DO SOMETHING!!!!!1!!
