They replaced them with paper straws coated in PFAS, as far as I know.

Source on the PFAS?

Here's one: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/08/230825122044.htm I don't know about Tim Horton's specifically, just saying that you might want to just forgo straws altogether.

Thanks!

Jesus, as if PFAS aren't prevalent enough, let's just suck them up through a tube straight into our faces!

I will be foregoing straws for sure
