I came across an unopened box of 1,000 plastic straws in the party supply crate recently. I don't know what to do with them. Maybe hold onto them for a bit and then donate them to a museum in a decade or two?
Stand outside macca's and sell them. $1 per straw. You've now made $1000. You may cop a bit of abuse though.
They'd only work with soft drinks. They're too thin for thick shakes. They are bendy, though. Give it another few years and the novelty of bendy straws will likely blow the kids' minds.
