Which material is better and safer: silicone or steel? I personally use steel straws because they don't leave weird aftertastes and can easily be washed. I accidentally dropped mine in the sink today through and that got me thinking. Do steel straws break easily if dropped? If so can bits of damaged metal enter your mouth while sucking?
>>20426620Thanks for your valuable input retard
>>20426597They don't make straws out of tool steel, anon. It's not hard enough to chip.
>>20426639Yeah it's stainless but can't it also break?
>>20426642No, far too ductile. Tool steel, you could shatter like glass. Stainless is harder than mild but not that hard. Get an aluminum one if you're scared
>>20426597stainless steel with a silicone insert
>>20426642You'll never break a steel straw unless you're using it as a fucking pry tool or something, you could drop it from a skyscraper and it would be fine.Not nice to hit your teeth with a metal straw though.
>>20426620I unironically use silly straws when I drink water at home.My hydration setup is: - Giant Mason jar - Tons of Ice - Tap water (Town of 200 ppl, shared well, tastes fucking good, suburbfags wouldn't get it) - Dash of lemon juice - Silly Straw (I like the pink one with the loop de loops or the blue one in picrel)If you say you don't like silly straws it just means you're not confident enough in your masculinity.

>Using a straw
>>20426620People with sensitive front teeth who are cursed with wanting and liking cold drinks but unable to drink lest a ice cube touch a front tooth and leave a broken sob to echo into the silence.
>>20426815I get around that by leaving drink room temp water
>>20426785How do you keep those clean? Seems like all the twists and bends would really inhibit sanitizing water flow. Tips?
>>20426831But I like cold. My four top front teeth abhore it. But the rest of me likes iced drinks.
>>20426597I use 24k gold or quartz glass straws. Depends who I'm drinking alcohol with.
>>20426785
>>20426742>>20426803>>20426815I don't have dental problems but I make coffee in my 64 ounce mason jar and use a big ass metal straw to sip from. It lasts me a couple of days instead of making coffee everyday or buying a 10 dollar coffee.
>>20426850Take a sip of vodka thru them occasionally
>>20426597I use plastic straws because I'm not a fucking retard who thinks that they get stuck in turtles noses, because that literally has never happened
Stop using straws. You look like a child when you do.Seriously, what the hell are you even drinking that you need a straw for?Beer? Coffee? Wine? Water? Just drink from the glass like a fucking adult dammit.
>>20427006this. and you look triple gay if it's some queer reusable straw
>>20426597who even uses a straw over the age of 5, except for women in their mid-40s who wear too much make-up and dont want to ruin their lipstick
>>20427006>>20427040>>20427069If a restaurant serves an adult a drink with a straw, that's a tacit admission that they don't wash their glasses, so you get a pass even if you still look like a child.
>>20427114>that's a tacit admission that they don't wash their glassesAnon, we know you're just slurping corn syrup. from a plastic cup while the adults are drinking beer from actual glassware. They gave you the straw because they think you're just going to fatfinger the drink and knock it over anyway.Also, those soda fountains are basically the filthiest place in the restaurant. They never clean that shit, not sure how a straw is gonna save you from that.
>>20426597Bro...I'm not cleaning my straws
>>20427293Wild levels of projection here.
>>20427620>projection.That's rich coming from a guy who thinks silly straws prevent cholera.
>>20426597why are these a thing? just use plastic straws
>>20426597I don't use straws anon. I drink out of glasses like a civilized person.
>>20427920You been taking your meds, anon?
>>20426785Dude I bet you're so fucking well hydrated holy shit
