Hello everybody, I’m Shawn Krill and today is January 3rd 2022 and its National Drinking Straw Day. Now it’s said that the Sumerians used the first drinking straws for drinking beer. The Argentines used something that resembled a straw as well called a bombilla

It wasn’t until the year 1888 that Marvin Stone received a patent for the Paper Drinking Straw. His straw was made out of Manila paper because supposedly the earlier straws were made from rye grass and changed the taste of beverages. In 1937 we were introduced to the plastic bendable straw and straw production took off and that’s when the trouble began. Straws are hurting marine life because they are not biodegradable, so guess what, were heading back to using paper straws. I think they suck but if drinking from a paper straw saves ocean animals, I am totally for it.

So how can you celebrate this holiday. Drink with a paper straw and go get some paper straws or those cool metal straws that you can reuse.
