I ceased all straw use about eight months ago. I've become a better person, citizen, and lover. I never realized how much of a cool drink I was missing by taking the lazy way out and using a straw. Its more healthy, too (the extra exercise). THIS IS NOT A JOKE, merely an exaggeration of how much better all drinks taste without a straw. So next time do yourself a favor and toss it.

You are absolutely right about the taste. Then again, if you just came out of a drive-through and are in traffic with a bunch of unpredictable twits a straw can keep your clothes much drier.
I was also surprised how much better Coke tasted in a real glass with a couple of ice cubes rather than in a bucket-sized plastic cup.

Very good point. Reminds me of certain (bad) cars that don't even have cup holders.

I prefer a straw when drinking a blended margarita, you get to the alchohol sooner. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Doesn't that give you a horrible brain-freeze?

You can tell I'm still living my Vegas trip. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif) We found a casino, I believe the Freemont, on the main stip that had $2 blended margaritas, man they were awesome. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif) Sorry about the spelling, I'm actually very fast on the keyboard, and don't take the time to spell check my replies. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

So you're saying straws are to beverages as condoms are to sex?

Coke in a glass bottle is the best there is. Around here (Portland) the best place to find bottled Coke is the little burrito carts and trailers.

You can still get Coke in glass bottles ?

Yup. Your surest bet for finding Coke in glass bottles (which incidentally contain real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup -- that's why it's better!) is to visit a Mexican food establishment.
