Q: do restaurants re-use straws?
i noticed one drink place had a bunch of old looking straws then today i noticed the plastic of my straw was already opened
am i gonna die
Yep, and I have just finished reading an article telling Chinese teenagers to stop using supermarket bags as condoms.
giadrosich:
Ah, that explains it. I was wondering why scotch tape was sold out everywhere.
Straws, chopsticks, chopstick wrappers, styrofoam containers, oil, etc... It is all used again and again until a drunk blind man with no hands and half a brain can tell it has been used before.
Yes they do, not only have I been warned by my friends but i have seen "new" straws with some bite-marks on them.
Oh shit...thanks...one more thing to worry about....I had no idea!
Just another one of those things that you assume... and when you actually get a brand new straw... then it makes it an extra special day for you.
If you get a used straw that could mean one of two things. You could have picked up a used straw by accident or the person working there probably just didn't care what you got. I usually get my straws brand new in an unopened package. Where do you eat? You make it seem like they dig straws out the dumpster and put it in some kind contraption that allows you to take as many as you desire.

They are called straw holders Mattie. Very popular in the US and some parts of China.

Thanks I only use them I didn't really care what they were called..but thanks! I usually call them straw dispensers, but I would prefer a cooler name.
mattaya:
Oh wow! Someone just added a little hot color to my post. You know it brings out the best in my avatar....I would probably have a different opinion if I didn't like firey red so much..
Sorry Crimo, but yes, you will die. Hopefully not for another 50 years.....
So no straw usage while in China, and bring my own chopsticks.
Got it.
