Y'ah know, I grew up with plain old paper straws. They even had bendy ones. And they worked just FINE. Yes, they're disposable, but they break down completely in the environment, and you never need to worry about not getting one of them completely clean. Or having questionable silicone in your beverage of choice. Now for milkshakes, I can see the argument for a large diameter stainless one, but for everything else, single use paper straws are just fine. (And we managed quite well with paper ones even for milkshakes in the day, I might add.)
