When McDonald's stopped supplying straws for soft drinks in France, they just printed on the cup - "We've stopped using plastic straws. To consume your drink, remove the lid. You're not an infant"

The world needs more French

Wait, I thought I should hate the French

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months ago

The French hate the French, so we should be like the French

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Hot take but the French hate is undeserved imo. If more nations' populations were more like the French there would be far less room for corruption.

Like what if the US population brought the entire country to a screeching halt every time the Supreme Court made a shitty decision. We would have a plan for healthcare reform by the end of the year!

Never liked carbonated drinks with a straw anyway. Something about it just fucks up the texture

[-] kionite231@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Also the straw fucking melts!!

Excuse me what kind of shit straws do they have where you're from

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Not the same person but paper straws melt, and Canada since plastic straws are banned.

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

A paper straw makes everything taste like math notebook.

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 1 points 3 months ago

KFC now only provides wooden spoons where I am, and it legitimately makes anything you eat taste like wood

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

shitty paper straws dissolve, decent paper straws go slightly soft when you're mostly done with the drink anyways.

[-] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

I unironically do this every time I eat out. More for the sea creatures and the island of plastic but still.

You gotta be fast because they'll slap down too many straws and throw them away later.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

i've never understood where the idea that plastic has anything to do with the climate came from, do people actually believe they have any relation beyond both involving oil?
