Like eating a Snickers with a fork and knife...

Every place in New York (even Queens) hands out straws when you purchase a can of soda, or a bottle of water, or juice, or any type of beverage really. At least this has been my experience thus far. And it's not even the cool bendy straws. Just the plain old boring straws. And it's not like I see people walking down the street or sitting in the cafes sipping their Diet Cokes through a straw or anything. I just don't get it. Guess I never really was a straw girl, anyway...
