Straws. "They suck. That's what makes them great." -Anonymous STEMS visionary "Marvin C. Stone patented the modern drinking straw, made of paper, in 1888, to address the shortcomings of the rye-grass straw. He came upon the idea while drinking a mint julep on a hot day in Washington, D.C.; the taste of the rye was mixing with the drink and giving it a grassy taste, which he found unsatisfactory. He wound paper around a pencil to make a thin tube, slid out the pencil from one end, and applied glue between the strips. He later refined it by building a machine that would coat the outside of the paper with wax to hold it together, so the glue wouldn't dissolve in bourbon." It's unfortunate that the paper straws of today have earned such a negative reputation. Many of us have experienced paper straws that were a result of poor manufacturing They dissolve in your drink You'll find little paper pieces floating around. Your drink is going to taste like paper.
