The year 2018 was "the final straw" for the plastic straw. After a long-fought battle against a watertight environmental smear campaign, the plastic straw has officially admitted defeat and commenced its peaceful departure from the public sphere.
Near the end of its life, the sometimes-bendy, oft-bitten, always-disposable drinking aid found itself at odds with eco-minded U.S. cities, fast-food dining establishments, airlines, and the largest coffee chain in the world. With the strong swells of the tide of public opinion against it, the single-use plastic straw will litter our oceans no more (or at least, a lot less).
