When I think of Tim Hortons, I think of how I've seen the disappearance of reusable flatware and cutlery from such a large proportion of eating establishments, and the normalization of eating-in with exclusively single-use disposable stuff (usually plastic), in about two decades. Future generations will thank us /s. But it's those effing 'woke lids' that are the real problem /s. Also, who cares about Tim Hortons if you don't like it; it's not even Canadian. Do conservative voters just need a daily dose of misplaced resentment and rage to keep them going?

Why are they even putting the lids in their mouth to dissolve?

Paper straws do suck though.

Paper straws do suck though.

I'm in Toronto, and I believe the city has banned plastic straws. I think plastic straw bans tend to be harmfully distracting from the larger issues. (To be clear, I think we have a massive plastic pollution problem.)

I was in a Hawaiian cocktail bar in Toronto recently, where the drinks are made to be drunk with straws and half of the people at the table asked for a second straw halfway through their drinks as the paper straws had stopped working well

We should be selling and marketing bring-your-own reusable plastic straws, with a small washable traveling case and a cleaning brush, maybe 4-packs
