I've always known the plastic straws thing was bullshit, but it didn't hit me how bullshit it is until I tore open six plastic containers of butter to put on my [fast food franchise] hot cakes the other day. What's the point of me not using a straw for my orange juice? I just wasted two dozen straws worth of plastic to put two tablespoons of butter on my breakfast. At least the straw serves a purpose other than getting in my damn way.
