ThreadBanger lolol

😂

yaaay!

@heirloom stars oh my gosh *yes*

heirloom stars wait not every one eats there straws

I have a mild case of pika and have chewed many of straw to death. Don't recommend.

Almost like saying using a cactus as a dild- just kidding 😂

I ain’t Tyler Joseph

Nicholas J that sounds like blood for some reason

He will get paper cuts and potentially die from blood loss

That would be super wasteful. They'd need hundreds of wrappers & she only had about 30

Just recycle them........

Love this, I am also the 666th like to have that bless your idea

And the Allergies kicking in!

They actually uploaded a video. I think in between all of this. It was their camping hacks video but it’s gone now. I have no idea why they deleted it.

Barbie4U2 people wear a shirt more than once too,

Miranda L. No, it’s just unlisted. I put it in a playlist and I can still watch it

It’s kind of unsettling, but we can’t really know for sure

I've been thinking of trying to go waste free for a week. It's really hard. Of course you'll still produce waste because everyone poops but you know what I mean.

Maybe Rob should try this... no cursing or drinking and no waste😂

Alexandria Warden impossible.

Absolutely! 🐢 ❤

This is so liberal. 99.98% of the plastic in the oceans is plastic straws. And only .04% of the plastic straws in the oceans is because of Americans. Get triggered by my facts. Thank you.

BECKIE JONES bruh im talking about turtles bc straws, along with plastic bags, are the main plastics that kill turtles.

I want to see rob do sugar art

Corinne vs man vs pin sugarsculpting?

@@PestoPasta666 yeah!! That would be so good

it tastes like tv static

It tastes like electricity

Tastes like when your leg goes numb

I mean if we get rid of the consumer waste the corps can't pretend they're not the issue

Koi Ann Cote That’s true but we can’t get rid of things like plastic straws completely because many people depend on them and are unable to use any reusable alternatives for health or financial reasons. Although I do agree that if you’re able to use an alternative, you should. It definitely wouldn’t hurt

@@alhall6162 petition to force medical aid to provide free reusable straws for those who need them (in a material they are allowed to use ofcourse)

@@alhall6162 there are other straws than plastic. Like paperstraws that's been around for years! Theres not only just straws that's the issue, anything that's plastic and one time use is the issue.

Should see what diapers do.... 500 years to decompose, and leak into ground water as well as can leak viruses into local drinking water...

Shhhhhh demonetization doesn’t need to know that...

Personally when i was vegan i didn't eat bugs, i still thought of it as a life not worth ending for my hunger But now im not vegan and love eating bugs

Red dye 40 causes health problems and does not mix well with people who have adhd Look it up!! it's a bit interesting

It’s a bug

Those were 👌🏻👌🏻

Kenna Brienn Literal straw? I wondered if this would ever be a thing. Perhaps not so good for people with coeliacs? Maybe?Who knows?

All single use plastics are the problem.

@@Meanbomb Exactly

Rachel Yeah, it’s the same with a lot of sanitary products (nappies, tampons etc) but we can’t find a suitable alternative that suits everyone so the main priority is other single use plastics at the moment

They sell silicone straws

Also the clear reusable plastic ones

Oh my fellow Holosexual.

I've seen that, but there's many comments disproving that

My sister is disabled, and she needs to use a straw when she drinks. But we just bring a reusable straw wherever we go.

Why can't they just use reusable straws.....?

@@mashedpotatoes5894 I already made a comment about it, but reusable straws, especially hard metal ones, can be dangerous. If I have a spasm, pass out, or a have seizure while drinking from a hard straw, a lot could go wrong. Bendy straws can be easily removed from the mouth in the case of an emergency. I cannot hold the cup up well enough to drink from the side of it, I can drop it. Plus, depending on the size of the glass, the bend could be more needed to be posed as I am a tiny person. Reusable straws are also difficult to sanitize, and for us, that can be life threatening. Immunocompromization can be insanely difficult to manage, and comes with a whole set of challenges that involve having everything around you remain as sterile as possible. This is also why herd immunity is important, for those who are immunocompromised, even the doses in the vaccine contain enough of the virus to cause major side effects. To disabled people, straws are a necessary tool to give us the ability to enjoy something like abled people would. And on a personal note, the straw thing frustrates me. 100 companies are responsible for 90% of the the pollution output by the United States. Why are we more worried about straws than the systematic destruction of the planet by a few entities?

@@rinniegan silicone straws paper straws...

I was gonna say that hahah

thank you! most people forget those with disabilities

There are different types of reusable straws.

Before someone says "BUT THEY CAN USE REUSABLE STRAWS" Search up "banning straws hurts people" by Jessica kellgren. - - Yeah people gotta bring this up. And I've seen people shame others for using straws while holding something with saran wrap or a plastic bottle and I'm just like "bruh." Straws only makes a small fraction of plastic pollution (granted it shouldn't make any fraction) but I kinda feel like the straw thing is just a new way for people to be "woke" without actually doing anything :/.

Yes I so agree plastic straws aren't really the issue when it comes to plastic and some people actually need them

@@annabel5332 Yes but a lot of times it can either be made out of something that the person can be alergic to, can be a choking hazard if part of it breaks off easily, can't be cleaned easily, can't be used with a hot liquid, or can't be put in a glass of water for too long. Sometimes people have to use plastic straws.

@@olibarahosasa1137 Huh?

sun flower weakling

sun flower that makes perfect sense. Actually, unless the drink really needs it, I drink straight from the cup.

IJustChangedMyNameSoPeopleCouldFindIt it seems like they would just disintegrate

Michael Weiss straws can actually be really helpful in making sure you don’t break down the enamel of your front teeth when drinking acidic drinks! That’s why I use them anyway

@@genevieve5869 Good point! I actually use a remineralizing toothpaste. But I could understand that for people who don't.

Same tho

@@genevieve5869 I've heard that drinking from straws doesn't really help with that because it's going to touch your teeth either way. Either from the back or the front unless you want to put the straw up your throat so it doesn't touch your tongue or your teeth but that's not quite enjoyable is it. The best thing to do is probably rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth after (wait at least 30 minutes after you drank). Btw I got this all from an article. I don't just randomly know this. I, myself don't drink very much acidic drinks besides milk I guess which has low acidity but I only drink milk and water most of the time or maybe all of the time and when I drink milk I usually drink water after anyways because I need to drink water to clean my teeth so I can put my invisilign back in.

Despicable Penguin uh thanks I guess, that was a lot of unnecessary detail, and um my dentist said it’s at least preferable to use the straw rather than just splash the drink right on your teeth so I’m still gonna do that but I’ll take the other suggestion into consideration!

I’m not the pinnacle of eco friendliness but I try. If we all tried a little harder we’d be doing a lot better.

I was gonna comment the same thing!

Katherine Petersen but paper straws though?

Sounds like something that could be prescribed to those that need them and still banned for those that don't

@@yviscariello5755 paper straws start dissolving when exposed to moisture for long - there's a great video about different kinds of straws and their pros and cons (why banning plastic straws hurts disabled people - not 100% on the title but you'll find it!)

M Townsend I think this would be a really great solution but unfortunately I don’t really believe medical companies would do it. From my experiences, insurance companies are a pain and they often don’t even comply to giving you basic things you need to survive so I don’t really see them seeing straws as a medical necessity. It would be a great solution if we could make sure they complied and there were no extra fees!

Paper straws can be bitten through if someone has a spasm while trying to drink. Plastic, notsomuch. As far as I know, the world has yet to come up with a reusable straw that is suitable for all situations.

YESS a person of culture

XD

She did.. .

Lol someone didn't watch the video.

Didn't watch the video didn't ya

1. She did that 2. You use Red Vines not Twizzlers. Twizzlers don’t have a hole in the middle

Call me out when they have holographic glitter on them

Same to the Holo comment! And i got my straws from Jeffree Star Cosmetics website.. $20 but totally worth it lmaooo they're amazing straws 🥰

At 7:56 there is another orange is the new black reference 😂

They totally have plastic, posable, reusable straws!

I support your needs! Those who can, should, but no shame on your quality of life 😘

@@noonespecial9233 the problem w those tends to come with if they're able to be thoroughly cleaned as they very easily harbour bacteria in the bend!

@@noonespecial9233 There is a disabled KZfaqr called Jessica Kellgren-Fozard who made a video about how disposable straws are vital for disabled people. However I do agree that reusable is better for people who can use them :) (I mean, I never use straws anyway but if some able people want to they can always use reusable ones)

They make metal bendy straws on Amazon. It’s not flexible but it’s angled like a regular bendy straw. Not sure how important flexibility is in terms of your specific needs but I can personally vouch for them

Whaaaa?! I am shooketh

ThreadBanger they’re from a plant called lovage.

They also get stuck in Turtles noses

I'm proud of you too!! Someone voted for the right people!

Twenty Paphonies that’s harmful to disabled people that need plastic straws

Paul Dixon oh, well TELL THAT TO THE PEOPLE WHO CARES. Also, without the animals, we will die. You wanna die? Probably not.

@Paul Dixon People with a heart and common sense care.

Same bro

I thought twizzlers used palm oil which in turn endangers orangutans?

I like red vines

@@adribautista3593 I think they use responsibly sourced palm oil. Not all palm oil comes from that region.

Betsy!!!!!!!

Now glass straws is something I can get behind. I *LOVE* glass. But... Cleaning them.. I don't want something I can't clean. Cuz, you know, stuff can get stuck in the hole part. I'm really particular about the cleanliness of things I have to put in my mouth. I could get into why, but then this would become super long and ramble-y.

@@theentity5 There are tools for cleaning them, you would use the same on metal straws. Walmart sells compostable bendy straws for $3

@@liwiathan Okay, cool. Thank you :)

@@theentity5 They can also be boiled.
