The main issue is drinks with ice. But maybe we could add a retainer on top of the glass to hold the ice so we can sip directly from the cup.

My teeth make pretty good retainers. It seems like a weird nostalgia thing. There must be far more pop consumed in a bottle than in a fast food cup, and I've never seen anyone put a straw in a bottle (except on tv).

The cold is a bit too much on my teeth unfortunately.

Weirdly, in south eat Asia they often give you straws in bottles. I don't know why.

That's true in my experience in SEA too, but it felt like a status thing.

They used to do straws in glass bottles, back when glass bottles for soda were a big thing. Maybe it’s a sanitary thing?

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It was sold as reducing cavities, but really just for money.

In some countries canned drinks are known to be unsanitary. Rodents would pee on cans and someone would rinse/wash the top (hopefully). You'd buy a can and get a straw because they don't scrub the little notch. You'd see yellow.

EVERYONE uses straws for health reasons.

Just sip directly. Why does ice present a challenge?
