Wikipedia: Drinking straw
A drinking straw is a utensil that is intended to carry the contents of a beverage to one’s mouth. Straws are commonly made from plastics but environmental concerns and new regulation has led to rise in reusable and biodegradable straws. These straws are often made of silicone, cardboard, or metal.
