I was just asking this, because I can't T__T;
Like, cause of the germ issues with products, like cans. I don't like it drinking it with the can.
So I always use the straw. Even cups too, cause you know when you drink it, the wetness touches
your upper lip? Or is it just me who is like this? >__<;; After what I learned in Biology, I was like disgusted.

Or are you those people who can LIVE without straws? Can I ask why and how do you manage that? ^^;;

i only use straws when i buy the product, like smoothies from baskin. jamba, starbucks, etc.
i dont like using a straw when i drink soda cuz it just doesnt feel right.

^ ditto.

i wipe the can tho
but yeah i can live w/o straws [=
n straws have germs too no ?

Yes, I can live without straws since I hardly use them anyways.

i can't for some reason

I only use straws when I buy drinks from Starbucks, Jamba Juice, etc.

Home beverages, I don't drink with a straw.

Of course. I rarely use straws.

what a waste when you can just drink straight from the cup/bottle/can

I can't

I use straws for drinking everything!

i can live without straws.
but i usually use them when i need to, but i don't use straws all that much.

haha I love straws . they're so addictive +____+
I used to buy drinks , gave it away to my sister and
only take the straws and chew on them . >D


but I can live without straws .

i can live without straws.
i am pretty germ-o-phobic too but..i usually just wipe the rim before i drink :]

i actually do that too when i can't get straws, i have no choice and use hot water to get rid off the germs.
cause you know like when you see the cans, people can touch it with dirty hands >__<;; omg think of
all that scary diseases =x

wait, straws have germs too? o________________o

then if so, then i'll use hot water before using straws then ^^;;

even with coffee, i drink it with straw >__< and even hot cocoa too =x

i can live without straws.
i make sure everything's clean before i drink.

I trust my immune system.

Straws...are fun
I would like to use it with everything, but I think I can live without it.

What if you can't use your hands?

i don't find.
but it is easy to drink from a straw when
you have ice :D

but if that wasn't invented it would be okay XD

Yes. o_o;
...if there are things to eat (BUBBLE TEA) I'll just use a spoon...
As nice as they are sometimes, they're not that important to my life.

Huh? o__o I don't get what your question is, so you mean what if we can't use our hands... ohhh.
Then straws will be very useful, right? Dang but I'm sure there are not a lot of people here in SOOMPI
who has no hands, right? But I feel bad for the people who have no hands, then they have to use the straw
either way >__<;;

If the glass/cup/w.e isn't clean, then why are you still drinking from it?

I don't think I can live without straws. Because I have really sensitive teeth, so I can't stand it when the ice hits my front teeth when I'm trying to drink something. And plus, I also chew on straws a lot, its a habit. Haha.

I'm not saying if people don't have hands. I'm saying if your hands are in a condition where you can't be as active with it.

heck yeah
i like straws if the cups are huge like super big gulps from seven eleven
i can drink out of a cup fine.
it just needs to be cleaned with soap and rinsed.

Yes I can, but then again...Boba straws..that might be a little more difficult.

I like using straws also but I can live without it.

I use straws w/ mah juiceee.
or water.
I mean, when I can't be bothered to pick up my cup,
i keep the straw in my mouth and just drink when I want to.
INGENIOUS.
XD

laziness just went one step further

yeap i can. the only time i use straws is when i go to boba places and starbucks. but i can always just open the lid and drink it =D

I could live without straws but it wouldn't be convenient, especially if I was trying to drink my boba while driving or something.

Oooh I have sensitive teeth too! Like if the cold attracts to my teeth, omg =x
Because I have cavities and right now can't afford it because I don't have a health insurance :`[
Lol I used to chew on straws, but not anymore. I do that on paper cups though XD

soda makes your teeth turn yellow, so if you use a straw, it goes past your teeth. =)

oh hell no

rofl.. you again making the funniest threads.. yeah i always drink stuff without a straw.. or if i do drink wit a straw i like biting on my straw haha..

Yea, I usually drink from the cup even when theres a straw in it.
I know its dirty and all, but i always forget

Probably. It's just be more of a hassle in some occasions.
Haha, I did Biology too and I learnt that microorganisms are everywhere and what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. xD

i can live without straws definitely. it is negligible to me.

i can
i stopped using straws cause my friend told me that it gives you wrinkles, so i stopped

I rarely use straws :/ too lazy to use them most of the time

Only for cans. Besides that, I'm good. xD

i wipe the can b4 i drink it. always.

other than that, i can live fine w/o straws

I rarely use straws. Exception : bubble tea. ^o^
It's fun to drink with straws, but I can live without it.
Just wipe it.

most likely. i don't use them that much xD

even coffee? isn't it like .. hot?
you're gonna burn your tongue
unless it's ice coffee then it's okay i guess

i can live without straws
but i always use a straw when i drink softdrinks .. the brim is really dirty

some drinks come with a straw .. like those box drinks ..

I rarely use straws. I do get that dirty feeling sometimes when I'm out eating at a restaurant, though. It just doesn't seem sanitary.

I prefer cups anyway, so sure, as long as it's convenient. Like if all I have to drink are juice boxes, then I would need a straw.

prob not. i need straws to drink my coffee otherwise i heard it makes teeth yellow.

When I was little, I couldn't drink from a cup in the same place where my lips had touched before LOL.
So I would rotate my way around the cup to avoid it hahahaaa.
Soo funny when I think about it.
But I'm still like that, but not so OCD-ish.
Restaurants and stuff like that, I DEF want a straw.
But at home or from cans, I don't need a straw.
If there were no straws, I'm sure I'd be able to survive.

And with the wetness thing, with a straw, you're putting your mouth where it was just a few min ago, so isn't it basically the same concept?

hmm so many ppl here uses straws. i hardly see it around my place unless it comes with a straw

Straws make everything taste better xD

I bite my straws whenever I use them. Hahaha, it's really fun. So I probably can't either >__>;

i rarely use straws as it is unless the drink i got came with it in the first place. whats the big deal anyways?
though if i got a can and its been stored for a while i'll just use a napkin to wipe the top of the can. thats about it.
