Hey Vlad, big fan of yours :)
Keep up the great content!
Man metal straws are really dangerous. You shouldn't be promoting that.
You forgot about bamboo 🎍 very good straws
there are also thin silicone straws! I have some, but I'm not sure about any that are available for commercial use
Used Agave straws for the first time in Hawaii, didnt seem to change the drink flavor much if at all and very sturdy. Unsure about price, but definitely recommend
His sound is just so satisfying to hear that I want a hour long ASMR Video was him just talking. 😂
Why did I think he was Asian…
@@kylebenoit787 i think hes russia, so he is asian
You are weird
I show his video to my brother so he can sleep faster 🤣
I can com
I am so dumb, I was waiting for you to mention plastic straws.
Bro same 💀
Lmao 😂
Same help 😅
Same I was confused on why he didn’t 💀
Huh somebody explain
Bamboo straws are the best straws to use. They normally use them at places like Starbucks but you don’t realize because they’re so similar to plastic. but still good for the environment
Ephesians 6:10-18 says,
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
I have metal straws but I never trust anyone else with cleaning them because I can't see anything going on in the straw plus my family doesn't know how to clean straws, tbh I'm just gonna go find some glass straws :')
There are also the edible sugar flavoured straws, one bar gave me one once lasted an hour and tasted good, you sould check it out
I have metal straws, but i should get the straight ones so I can easily see if they are clean.
Indeed no way would i drink out of a metal straw used by the public.
@@chrisrawr6177it's no worse than using a glass at a bar.
@@fanofmetal1except it is because glasses are vastly easier to clean properly. You really trust the staff in bars and restaurants to scrub all through the inside of your straw with plenty of soap?
I love how the coffee shops use more plastic for the lid
Who uses a straw for coffee anyway?
Straws are not for hot drinks 💀
The fact that people are getting rid of plastic straws isn't so much the amount of plastic used it's the size of it, cause straws sre often small enough if littered to make it through to the ocean where they can disrupt marine life.
@@jesperw1602 plus we have PHA straws now. Starbucks is the only place that I know of that uses them, but I hope they catch on
@@jesperw1602 if you don't think that plastic lid isn't making it to the ocean then you crazy bruh.
I feel it is mandatory to have a straw with an ice filled drink so that your hand doesn’t heat the drink up.
You might think this is weird but celery sticks also work as great straws while also giving you a snack once you have finished your drink
Especially nice if combined with Bloody Mary
Some cafés and restaurants in my country uses Tapioca straws which are edible. I personally enjoy biting them after drinking.
like twizzlers??????
Wild
The smoothie shop near me have ones made of sugar and gelatin
What country?
I read that some places in itay use pasta!
Bamboo straws and pasta straws are the coolest straws I’ve ever seen.
Woah never seen pasta straws but I guess that can work! Don't the starches release though?
@@moon_bandage i replied here so i could see the answer
Bamboo straws are kind of gross 🥴
there are rice straws too
Some places even use sugar straws for cocktails, you can eat them afterwards
“Silicone straws are wide.”
Mcdonalds: “Ill take your entire stock.”
Paper straws can also have gluten in them so if you’re allergic or have Celiac, avoid them.
Had no idea! 😧
I want a drink made out of your voice 😂

@@smallSphere69 But shakes are made with milk
This just reminded me of the time when places started using paper straws to help the environment meanwhile their cups were still made of plastic
still like that at the fast food places in my city
Paper straws are just the worst damn thing
They practically shrivel up within just a few sips making drinking more of a hassle and once it starts to degrade you better take it out of the drink before it leaves pieces of paper inside
If anything they feel like more of a waste of money
I like glass straws cause imo if it's reusable it's better to go for a better product even with a higher price point. Them being clear makes it way easier to see if they're actually clean and they are fantastic with drinks of any temp (I use them for hot tea and such)
I've seen places sell I believe it was straws made out of bamboo. They were pretty nice actually.
There are slushies and stuff, but it's also important to note that straws can make drinking a LOT easier for disabled people
For the metal straws, they make silicone nibs to slip onto the ends of them so that you don't burn your lips on hot drinks or break your teeth if you're jostled with them in your mouth. They're also overall more comfortable to use and easy to clean
I use stainless steel straws and haven't really had issues with the straw becoming too hot or too cold.
“Who even uses straws?”
Disabled people. They’re crucial for so many of us, especially those of us who have poor motor skills (fine or gross). For me, I struggle with spilling drinks and getting it on my face when drinking. I also feel anxious about the ice falling into my face when getting the last drops. Straws make so many people’s lives easier, disabled or not. I use metal straws daily.
I was looking for someone to say this! Everyones going on about boba like it's the only reason we need straws, I don't have poor motor skills but I am neurodivergent and the thought of drinking straight from a glass makes me so uncomfortable, especially one from a restaurant. I use metal straws with all my drinks and nobody's allowed to use my straws lol
@@megan9403same! Tho I'm hypersensitive to taste so I can't use metal straws because I just feel the taste of the metal and I hate it so much
@imgay7588 they also do silicone reusable straws if that's any better for you, or acrylic? I'm sure you'll find one that works for you 😊
@@megan9403 yeah I’m autistic so I have poor fine motor skills so I tend to be clumsy with drinks. Didn’t realize I had poor fine motor skills before I was diagnosed 2 years ago and the psychologist was testing my fine motor skills. Now I always ask for a straw wherever I go, tho unfortunately not every place has plastic straws. I find the paper ones inaccessible and makes it hard to drink since air gets into the straw through the paper. I definitely need a foldable metal straw tho for that reason.
@Aumirae yeah the paper straws are so hard to used they go soggy so fast n I'm slow at drinking so I can never finish a drink with a paper straw, it's not disability friendly at all
There are restaurants in Germany that use straws made out of dried pasta. It's always fun to crunch them afterwards.
oooooh, yes i love crunching pasta😋
Das errinert mich an die essbaren veganen Strohhalme die extrem ekelig geschmeckt haben.
@@asteria4794 Nee, das sind einfach nur trockene Nudeln. Find ich gut.

Bucatini are PERFECT for that
I’m missing you shaking a drink while staring creepily at the camera in this video.
edit: I’m famous 🤩
Thats not creepy at all
How DARE YOU call his sedusive staring/smile "creepily". *I know where you live now, Expect a ring at your doorbell soon child.*
@@iwenttoohio5045 scene: I open the door
You: outside creepily staring at me while shaking a drink.
Same
There's nothing creepy about that
There's a smoothie store I go to sometimes that uses candy straws!! They're very tasty and don't dissolve easily. However they may crumble if you bite any parts that have been wet for a while and the flavor /may/ effect the taste depending on the drink
I have metal straws with silicone tips, love them.
Honestly I think the best alternative is all of us having our own reusable straws. The bubble tea/boba shop in my city sells metal boba straws with a pouch to carry them, and that seems so convenient. You clean it yourself so you're sure it's sterile, no litter, your material of preference
maybe im too lazy but i dont really want to clean my straw multiple times a day. Its also pretty hard to thoroughly clean straw unless you have a specific tool
I carry mine with me whenever I travel 😊
@@Masterdeath16 And that's why they come with straw cleaners. And you don't have to wash them every time, just rinse.
Making metal straws is far more polluting than plastic straws 😅
@@AGORAPHOBIA_YT Here we go with BS.
Me who uses reusable plastic straws 👀
Yep most ez to use and cheap
Micro plastics all over again D:
What plastic straw isn't reusable?
@@CE7341 most of them would be torn, broken, etc after a few uses and washing sessions
@@CE7341 some can't
Bamboo straw for warmer drinks! 👍🏼
When I had my back surgery and was too tired to sit upright for a tea, we'd put a bamboo or wooden straw in the cup so I could slowly sip the tea.
I live in the Caribbean, at our local coffee shop, they use straws made of seaweed I believe. They add no flavour, they don’t change the temperature, and they just as cheap as paper straws. The only problem they aren’t as sleek, with a see-through, and spotty colour.
I can't even tell y'all how many times i rewatched this to hear ✨ mooshea ✨
LMAOO ME TOO I WAS SCROLLING IN THE COMMENTS TO SEE IF ANYONE NOTICED THAT
In German this means something different
You might want to test out bamboo straws, they're used in Japan- or atleast I saw them in a blog in Japan.
Me when my paper straw dissolves to sludge as Kylie jennet takes a private jet for a 15 minute trip releasing more co² than multiple people in they're whole life
This is so relatable wtf
Wait remeber that 70% of pollution was done by corporations and the term carbon footprint was made by a oil company. Fuck celebrities but fuck corporations more
nOooO, i bet kylie jenne *t* uses straws made of co2 just for that extra _pazaaz_
Hope her plane explodes
@@that1kidvincent damn brother you aggressive. I respect that
my favorite is the metal straw with a colorful silicone sleeve over the tip to keep the temp issue at bay, can also help a group tell their drinks apart
Main problem with getting rid of plastic straws is it doesn’t feel the same. These alternatives are a little thicker, have a wider hole, and don’t feel like plastic. All of these straws either change the temp of your lips (glass, metal) or stick to them (silicone).
"you may be asking who even uses straws"
bubble tea:an i a joke to you?
yes
Yes

Yes
Correct
I love glass straws to death lol
no matter how many times my mom accidentally dropes them, I’ll keep on buying more 😭 too good
Yes!!! I love glass straws so much 🥺
Sameeeee they're just so neat and simplistic, while being easy to clean and not ruining the taste of your drink
Sameeee, i got mine in a shop in germany like 5 years ago and i still have all of them, theyre just sooo good
I love how they make you feel like you’re drinking out of a glass but with all the advantages of a straw, definitely better than metal straws imo
Bamboo straws are really good too! they're pretty much equal to the metal straws, but they don't change the drink's temperature
If you’ve heard of cornstarch straws, those are super nice. They act like plastic, but are much harder/sturdier (not easy to bend, but possible). And they’re also completely biodegradable.
Really nice alternative and fairly cheap depending where you get them. If you get metal or those rinsable straws, probably want to make sure there’s a good way to clean them. After taste is always awful.
Personally I use metal straws as an all around straw since it always gets the job done but sometimes I do use silicone. I don’t have glass so I wouldn’t know but I wouldn’t recommend paper straws.
@-Thom- I have some at home and I don't think they need to be changed. Just wash them thoroughly and they should last a pretty long time
I love glass straws… it can take a lot of beating to get it to even chip and it doesn’t leave any after taste compared to when I tried out multiple metal straws
@-Thom-
I use my metal straws daily. Mostly to drink my iced coffee. I just put them into the dish washer afterwards and use a thin circle brush to be sure its clean inside. They seem made for the ages.
@-Thom- they last a really long time if you keep em clean and dry them thoroughly afterwards to prevent corrosion. I still prefer glass though, it doesn't affect the taste at all and doesn't get as hot as metal.
Glass straws sound dangerous. My mouth ain’t so careful. My teeth like the bite. 😅
I use hard plastic reusable straws. You get all the benefits of the others with it being cheap, being able to resize it or buy in different sizes, it leaves not taste, and it doesn’t change the temperature of the drink, and there really aren’t any downsides. You can buy them in different colors and shapes too.
actually i can think of one downside, you cant have hot drinks like hot chocolate with them, they would melt
@@scribblecloud Reusable plastic straws are (usually) made from a plastic called Polypropylene and can easily handle temperatures up to 90 C (194 F) without deforming or melting at all and briefly up to over 110 C (230 F).
Considering hot drinks are usually served between 65 C (149 F) and 80 C (176 F), they are more than adequate to use.
😊
Acrylic/resin straws are my favorite. Theoretically it might be a kind of plastic but they're reusable and look very similar to glass.
I love how he says " smoozies" instead of smoothies lol
I was in a Mexican restaurant last week where they used long noodles that haven’t been cooked as straws. They left no taste behind and looked pretty appealing. Pretty genius idea
"No thanks, I don't use a straw to drink my drink"

Glass straws all the way. They look nice in every drink and shape and you can actually see what's inside! You can't see buildup or even mould in metal straws.
also for straws, for larger drinks especially some people with disabilities may need a straw just to drink comfortably, and the alternatives dont always work. which is why basically everywhere carries plastic straws still, even with bans in place, as most bans just make you ask for it.
Me shouting at my computer: Disabled people use straws
And for disable people the best ones are still the plastic ones. They are the only ones that do bent while keeping the round shape.
@@gadeaiglesiassordo716 depends on the disability, really, but yeah plastic straws tend to be the best & least dangerous
YES!! THANK YOU!!
was literally scrolling down to see if someone had already commented this !
The sylicone ones would be better they are light super bendable and reusable
the god of wine enters my youtube shorts at long last after months 😩
I love the way he says ✨~mooshey~✨
The coffee shop I work at uses compostable straws! Pretty neat alternative, as it's the same experience as using plastic straws, except they're loads better for the environment! :)
His voice sounds minty, like how you feel when you eat tic tacs
there’s also pasta straws! they’re not the best but you get an extra snack
There is a special place in hell for the person who invented the paper straw
I use a straw that my family made. It is hallowed out wood that is coated with a protective coating to prevent splintering, decay, and absorbing the liquid
I like biting on straws for some reason- so if I ever had a glass straw my mouth would go bye bye
if this guy voiced a bunch of audiobooks, i’d buy every single one and listen to it on repeat.
all of your videos are thirst traps i keep making random drinks with ton of ice whenever i see a vid of yours. i fell in love with the spherical ice and bought the plastic case to make it and it just brightens my day every time i make it
I use metal straws and the only downside really is that if you drink something hot, the straw will get hot too
I’m autistic and require straws to drink most drinks due to being at risk of dropping the glass, and helps me cope with the sensory experience of it! Thank you for showing some alternatives!❤
That honestly was probably the best loop I've seen on shorts, because generally it lags and looks weird making it noticeable, but this time I didn't even notice until he started talking again
One thing to note is that you cannot see when dirt is accumulating in a metal straw compared to a glass straw so just be sure to wash it every few uses with a wire brush aside from just rinsing it.
i have metal straw in my cafe and restaurant business because the previous manager bought too much plastic straw as much as the entire warehouse. can't even imagine customers littering the streets after they use it once. the metal straw looks good especially on high end restaurant and cafe and it's environmentally friendly because you can stop customer littering the streets with plastic. also our metal straw comes with long brush included to clean the inside.
I'm just in love with the way he says mushie
Shout out to all my single-use plastic straw Chads out there, we're a dying breed apparently
Bro when he sipped out of the paper straw my whole body shivered
I personally use bamboo straws the most.
Also you should be aware that paper straws can't be used by those with celiac issues as they contain gluten which is then passed into the drink as you use the strae
*Plastic straws left the chat*
"plastic straws alternatives "
Me rn watching this while drinking from paper straw-
There are some bars who use maccaroni noodles. There are like thick spaghettis but hollow. I love the idea and you can eat them as a bonus.
Bro why was the most expensive straws right before this on my fyp💀💀💀
Can you make something with Raki pls

Huh? No one mention banning single use straws
There are also straws made from sugarcane fibers which is not only sustainable, but it reduces waste in the cane sugar production process.
Straws are also helpful with drinks with fruit or bubble tea, and when wearing lipstick or lipgloss ❤
I love my glass straws so much! They were well worth the one time price tag for a set of I think 7? And I bought one that had a bamboo case as well, so that I would feel more confident taking it with me (I know they're sturdy AF, but a bitch be paranoid carrying around a tube of glass in his pocket, okay)
The only problem I have with them, is that the texture reminds me of hard candies. That paired with I almost only drink sweet drinks and the more I drink, the harder it is to resist the urge to CHOMP. But that's probably just a me thing.
Tldr; STRONGLY recommend glass straws!
I was expecting this to be a "save the Earth" thing 💀
Bro the most overlooked and in my opinion the best alternative for plastic straws is bamboo straws. It doesn’t soak up any drinks, bamboo grows incredibly quickly, they are strong and durable, and they don’t cost much
I like how everyone else but Gorlock gave an actual answer
Me who uses plastic straws: 🤭
I had this video on loop just bc his voice is so calming
There's a local bar near me that uses a straw made with recycled wood fibers as well as recycled plastic fibers as well, they have an espresso brown color, no flavor, and doesn't soak up the liquid
A woman actually died in the UK a couple of years ago by falling on her face whilst using a 10 -inch a metal straw and whaddya know, it went through her head. They're kind of dangerous if used on the go.
(Edit: it went through her eye)
thanks, i now have a fear of metal straws
Yeah, and people die when drinking and falling and hitting their head on the corner of a table. Not really a condemnation of the objects around you. I hate to sound condescending but maybe just drink responsibly :)
But that's not a common occurrence now, is it?
I'll stick with disposable plastic straws. Reusable straws just sound like breeding grounds for microbial life.
This is exactly why you don't do things like using a straw or a toothbrush while walking around. It's kinda a common sense thing.
The plastic straws that are biodegradable are better than paper straws.
I used to dislike the paper straws for the reasons in the video, but last couple of years I have not had one tear or even get soggy. They have the best effect on the drink as well. The paper straw people have really upped the game.
Silicon straws are my go to. They can come in different sizes and you can just bend them and make them fit for more storage space. Their pretty fun for people like me who like to chew on straws aswell.

Straws are actually really good for drinks. Thermodynamics have it that colder liquid go under hotter ones due to density difference.
That way when you have a warm drink that has been iced, you can drink colder part pretty much immediately rather than havjng to wait for whole thing to cool down to acceptable degree
theres a german company who produces plastic straws made of potato fibers. they fell like regular plastic straws, can be in all kinds of colors and a bar could also get their name printed on it. since its made out of potato fibers its 100% biodegradable and desolves in hot water within 10 seconds. sadly the company stared as a kickstarter a couple of months before covid so im not quite sure how big of a production they managed to build up so far.
I personally use the stain less steal straws. I prefer this method because if you drink isn’t cold enough you are able to out them into a freezer and it will chill the straw ready to be served
Make sure you are using a silicone tip for metal straws. Helps prevent dental damage
When you trip while taking a sip and the metal straw goes through the back of your throat
I've seen some cocktail straws that are silicone with a metal tip at places like target! I haven't used them but they might be a good alternative? My favorite are silicone bc they come in alot of sizes, narrow ones are less common but out there. I also feel like I've seen some biodegradable straws in utensil sets at a place I worked in (wish I could link a good example)
I love those straws where they can detect toxic chemicals inside your drink (useful while partying).
Absolute game changer i swear
The way he said mushy was 😫😩 so good
This is the longest short I have ever seen!!!!😂😂😂❤🎉
One of the restaurants local to me uses agave plant-based straws so they’re biodegradable they have a slightly strange texture they’re not completely smooth but there’s no flavor
Try Bamboo straws! They are cheap, don’t add flavor, are durable, and don’t change the temperature. And the best part is they use bamboo since it grows back really fast!
Just remember that metal straws will core sample your cerebral cortex if you sneeze or trip while drinking.
the way he says “smoothies” omg
I've had the same metal straws for like 5 years now. Unless you're trying to ruin them, don't worry about bending lol
