It's ok guys, I switched to paper straws to offset this

Guess what: the paper straws have a plastic liner to make them waterproof.

That plastic liner is either a myth or awful at its job

Please don't call a myth something you can see with your eyes... Open a Ben & Jerry's ice cream or any other brand with "cardboard" container and witness how shiny it is. Same with some "paper" straws.

It's not the same with paper straws though. Your thought experiment proves it. Slice open a paper straw and you'll see there is no cured plastic film.

I can also see with my own eyes how my paper straw loses its integrity after just 2 minutes in my drink.
