I was very against them and bought steel straws to carry around but now I can tolerate them with my iced coffee on the road.

I do still have a stash of plastic ones I brought home from America last year in my pantry. I haven’t thought to use any yet (don’t use straws at home).

Hungry Jack’s soft drinks now have a cool flippy spout thing on their plastic lids so you don’t need a straw and I wish everyone had them.

Edit: after writing this I tried to drink from my can while laying down and spilt it all over my beard. Luckily I have a steel straw with a bend in my travel cutlery kit!
