I'm all-in on the idea of just gulping down a Jumbo-sized soda...
Again uninformed response. This only applies to Full Service restaurants. Fast food establishments are not covered in the restrictions. Most full service restaurants already are using paper straws that are not covered under the restrictions. Personally the next time I use a straw in a full service Restaurant will be the first in 50 years, and in those days the straws were paper. This is much ado about nothing. Remember no one is asking you to move to California. We are doing just fine without you! You on the other hand would not be doing fine without us. Remember we are the 5th largest economy in the world! We produce most of your fresh fruit and vegetables, most of the wine in the country and most of the best craft beers. So if we decide that we can do somethings to improve on the environment, you will find that as usual we are the innovators, you are the followers, and you can look for "plastic straw" restrictions in your states in the near future! Mark my words, California is the Sheppard, the other states are the sheep!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
None as the straws are not outlawed. In a full service restaurant if I ask for a plastic straw they will bring me one! In a fast food restaurant they are out on display for me to take at will, and they will be after January 1 2019 as well. They are not banned. Recently I was in Colorado and someone gave me some stainless steel straws that we use at home we can wash them and re-use them. It just makes good sense to do what you can for the environment especially if it doesn't inconvenience you AT ALL! I have no use for plastic straws!
I know!
