On 3rd January 1888 Marvin C Stone received a patent for the paper drinking straw.
OK so this is a USA national day and I live in the UK but my day has consisted of a run, cleaning windows, a bit of housework and reading so I need you to forgive me a little creative license 🤣
@boxplayer@kjarn Yes I did consider doing a progressive capture using a paper straw, a plastic one, a metal one and then another paper one but wasn't creative enough! I don't remember paper straws as a child disintegrating as quickly as the modern ones do and wonder if they had an added ingredient.
