Remember Paper Straws?

The upscale restaurant where I work has a rating company, who told us this year that they frown on plastic straws, so now we just don't give straws at all, because the paper straws get soggy and other kinds of straws, bamboo or whatever, are too expensive. Very few people so far have asked for a straw. Maybe this simple way to keep less plastic from getting out into the environment will gain popularity.
