When you visit most of the outlet, drinking cold drink without a straw is normal nowadays. But does it really a solution ? Some beverage like Frappe still require straw. Some business owner has opt for biodegradable straw, some with paper straw.
I have come across a more practical solution, which is using rice straw. At first I would tot it is a waste of rice as it can be consume but then I further find out is that they are using broken rice which is farmer will discard as fertiliser to other usage.
