            • @USER DC: Just realised they should be in Aus as they're shipped from Amazon. Still, there's eBay if you want local stock.

    • Or even from Asian supermarket (I think I bought 100 pack from Tong Li last year for under $5)

      Aliexpress is best for plastic straws. They won't take my plastic straws.

  • +38

    Can't blame people.. paper straws are the worst

    • +15

      Totally agree.

      Especially with the ones that go all soft in less than 30mins.

      When I was in Seoul, they had straws at cafes made out of rice which was more solid than paper but you could also chew and eat it afterwards.

      • That's super interesting. Can we hunt them down? haha

      • +2

        30 mins? Yours so strong.

        Mine usually go limp within 3 sucks, 2 mins at most.

        • Depends on the sucking technique in use, which will vary how long it takes to go limp.

      I wonder how many paper straw advocates still use disposable nappies as using cloth nappies doesn’t suit them

      Can't blame people.. paper straws are the worst

      Plastic straw bans sum up the green left in one nice analogy. Take something that worked well and replace it with something that is shit just to feel better about themselves, all the while achieving absolutely nothing in the process but costing everyone else money.

      Paper straws actually create three times more co2. Theres a nice infographic about it here https://www.strawlific.com/post/paper-vs-plastic-the-brief-s…

    paper straws are the worst cant even finish a drink without them getting all soggy

      Ikr, waste more paper than reusable plastic. Love plastic straws <3

  • +10

    I get it.. at the same time, I don't.

    The government seem so interested in tinkering around the edges with straw bans, yet the HUGE amounts of PACKAGING dwarfs any amount of straws.. yet.. nothing.

    I can't go to the shops after work and buy some steaks without it having more plastic in that than I would use in straws in a decade. Madness.

    In terms of the deal? Sure.. get it while you still can.

    • -1

      you sure you don't ? I mean, look at the meat industry. There's no 'straw' industry.
      Not using plastic wraps are going to result in more spoilage and cross contamination. You know what is mad? being distracted by straws when a huge amount of microplastics people are willing to slather on their face, in the showers, at parties, glitters and balloons.

      The amount of care people have… we see nature recovering - things we could see for ourselves when everyone is not commuting as much over 2 years. But suddenly everyone needs prioritise their mental health by driving their vehicles to work, and ends up consuming more disposables.

      people only care when it's only convenient to them. sure, the plastic packaging is killing the world, motor vehicles isn't doing it faster.
      the hypocrisy is showing.

    PLASTIC STRAW???

  • Plastic straws are such a scapegoat. I supposed it's nice for some people to have something to focus on… I guess it helps distract them from their own incredible (and unescapable) consumption

    • +3

      Yes, there are greater forms of polution. The largely unrecycable packaging that comes with Amazon parcels being a huge problem. But doesn't mean they're not a problem.

      Unless you have a disability which means you can't tilt your glass and drink the liquid directly, why even use a straw? Honestly don't think it's a bargain paying $35 when most of us are capable of drinking from a glass independently. Haven't used a straw since I was a kid.

      If you are using a straw at home, particularly 1500 of them, seems like a better bargain to me to get a reusable one anyway.

      • +1

        I rarely use a straw too. I also don't get hung up on people who like plastic straws… or any form of specific waste. Straws are a scapegoat and there's negligible value in being sanctimonious about them (and you are being sanctimonious).

        • +1

          Not hung up on anyone. Just not keen to actively encourage it pointlessly either. I also mentioned that I think that the Amazon packaging is more of an issue than straws.

          Also don't see the bargain here, even if you're in the market for plastic straws and nothing will change that. I would't neg if this were like $2 for 1000.

          Curious why people think this is great value with the upvotes, given there are cheaper alternatives for plastic straws available, alternatives such as reusable straws or just letting your lips touch the cup is free, and this is the regular price on Amazon for the product according to camels?

          Or is it mainly upvoting for the premise of plastic straws, rather than upvoting for being an actual bargain?

          • +2

            @snoopydoop: Are you genuinely surprised or feigning ignorance to make a point? If the former…

            People don't care about plastic straws… (well… not seriously anyway)

            People are upvoting this because they are frustrated by how sanctimonious (simultaneously judgemental and hypocritical) people are in their efforts to be environmentally conscientious

            People are also upvoting this because the focus on single use plastics is scapegoat and representative (more broadly) of our failure as a culture to properly diagnose (understand) and deal with the climate issue.

            • +1

              @The Wololo Wombat: All of those reasons sound like an illogical emotional response, and not a reason to buy or push this deal to consumers with upvotes. This is a bargain site, not a political one.

              Not sure why you expect people to be perfect in their attempt to be environmentally conscious, or think that otherwise they're better off throwing packs of straws into the ocean. Insane to hold someone to such a high accountability, when you're likely doing less than they are.
              The longer people are irrationally offended at being asked to reduce their plastic use, in straws and many other ways, the longer it takes to move onto other issues.

              If you can suggest a way for people to transition away from use of plastics, that doesn't involve a literal transition, I'm all ears. Some people who are "for" these plastic straws in the comments are suggesting that all plastic should be banned out of all products, cars and all, or no action should be taken at all. That's not the way the world works, that's not the way we better ourselves.

              Not sure why directly advocating for people to purchase overpriced plastic straws is exactly leading to "dealing with the climate issue" at all. People who've upvoted this have directly influenced likely hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of straws being produced. And at a pretty high cost for what can be attained elsewhere, I might add, not even taking into consideration the cheaper more environmentally friendly options.

              This is a bargain site, this is a poor value deal by all measures, and is also bad for the environment to boot. If this were a post about a pack of 1,500 straws for $2, I'd leave it alone. But it's poor value, particularly when compared to other options.

              Certainly the attempt to get people to buy thousands plastic straws at a higher price than they could get elsewhere with the ridiculous movies you mentioned above is dumb. People honestly need to stop being offended so easily.

              • @snoopydoop: I think you're projecting here.

                • +1

                  @The Wololo Wombat: Haha all good mate. Just fail to see the bargain here when many, many others have posted identical plastic straws at 5x cheaper rates. Not even mentioning that there are far better options with less environmental impact.

                  Trying your best with this stuff is all you can do. You're purposefully attempting not to try, simply to prove a point in a ridiculous way. Honestly think you should reflection on why you're advocating for intentionally damaging the environment more than is truly necessary, however small that impact may be.

                  Most people in reality just try their best to leave the world in a better place, not intentionally do worse for irrational reasons. Something to think on.

    Say no to plastic single use straws. But yes to fake nails and disposable vapes.

    • +3

      Don’t forget disposable nappies, but they don’t count as long as I have a paper straw and a keep cup

  • People negging this should buy a pack of 100 to share and use them as re-usable straws.

    Personally I don't use straws. Metal, plastic or paper.

  • -2

    Might buy these just to throw them in the oceans/rivers in protest of these stupid laws. (profanity) hippy's

    • Wow good on you. Looking after the environment is only the domain of "hippy's" is it?

      • -2

        Doing bullshit virtue signalling crap to impact others without meaningfully helping the environment at all is the domain of hippy's. (profanity) those (profanity).

        • What do you do that's a larger/more meaningful impact than the most topical ones? Any tips to share? :)

          • @snoopydoop: I do nothing, which is a larger/more meaningful impact.

            • @dowhatuwant2: Lol what a completely illogical statement, not grounded in reality at all. You do you mate.

              • @snoopydoop: Often the replacements for these things that are so bad for the environment end up being worse for the environment in implementation. The statement is not illogical you are just ignorant.

                • @dowhatuwant2: Mate, I just put the cup to my lips and drink it, I've done so since I was 5 or 6 years old.

                  But for those who can't put their lips to their cup directly, I'd need a source showing that 1500 plastic straws is better than a single glass, silicone, or metal straw. But given your comments, I think you're just saying that off the top of your head based on the 'vibes', with a complete lack of fact behind what you're saying.

                  When asked what other things you do for the environment, you mentioned that you do "nothing at all", which means not only using plastic straws in as much bulk as possible, but a multitude of anything else that might be considered harmful to the environment.
                  To claim that having no regard for the environment at all is a more larger/meaningful impact than doing even something small, even if the impact is tiny, like reducing plastic use in disposable single use goods, is a completely illogical thing to say.

                  You said it yourself, you're doing nothing positive for the environment - and seemingly intentionally, because you're emotionally triggered by "hippies"?

                  It's fine if you're either lazy, or offended by people who care for the environment we live in - you can live how you want.
                  But to claim that having a complete disregard for the environment is a more positive thing than taking an action to reduce your impact, is just not an intelligent thing to say.

                  • @snoopydoop: People dont use a single glass/silicone/metal straw for the equivalent time that they will use 1500 plastic straws. 500 is a stretch frankly.

                    I don't do anything for the environment, I minimise power usage due to the expense not the environment. With respect to my claim that doing nothing is better for the environment im referring to shitty activism like these straws and plastic bags. Paper bags require 4x as much energy to produce as plastic bags and are reused far less, it's a forced change that had a more detrimental effect on the environment, doing nothing is better than making shitty changes.

                    Generally i do nothing, when hippies trigger me i go out of my way to contribute more harm because (profanity) them morons.

                    I'm offended by stupidity which is why hippies trigger me. The appearance of reducing impact often increase impact instead, doing nothing is better than what most activists do.

                    • @dowhatuwant2: Honestly, feel like you shouldn't let people affect you as much as you are. It's not as big a deal as you're making it out to be.

                      Of course there are some hypocrites, as there are in any group of people, but certainly not as much as Sky News is making you believe. Most people just quietly try to reduce their impact as best as they can. And I certainly wouldn't let them affect me as much emotionally as you're letting it.

                      Based on some of your statements here I don't think you understand why plastic is problematic, in many cases a higher energy cost would be preferable to production of plastic, particularly the microplastics introduced to our environment, including our food and water sources.
                      Additionally, as renewables grow, and the impact of said energy becomes less and less. But you're referring to two separate environmental issues here.
                      Most who care the most extremely about the environment wouldn't use paper bags though, they're using a reusable bag and keeping it for years. If they're not, you're right, they could reduce their impact. But they're still doing more than you claim to. I don't think anyone should be held to some perfect standard, I think they should just try their best.

                      Honestly, not sure why you need 1500 straws in the first place unless you're running a senior's home. But I see no reason why a glass straw wouldn't last 1500 uses. My glasses at home definitely last 1500 uses, and "save me" from using more than 1500 disposable cups to drink my water out of if that was the alternative I insisted upon.

                      I think most who are questioning the need for 1500 straws are questioning why you're not able to drink liquid from a cup, and the proposition of a reusable straw is more of a concession for people like yourself who need to use a straw rather than drink straight from the glass for whatever reason that may be.

                      Honestly, being 'offended by stupidity' and then irrationally getting angry and going out and throwing straws into the ocean or whatever you do to intentionally increase your impact is a little ironic. It's not behaviour that is exhibited by someone who is emotionally inteliigent, or approaches issues in a logical, intellectual way. I think you're capable of more than that mate :)

                      • @snoopydoop: Everyone is affected by others to some extent, im not the one so entitled about it so as to try to dictate to others what they can/can't do. I'm just here to ridicule the idiots.

                        I don't watch sky news, don't strawman me with that clown bullshit.

                        "Most who care the most extremely about the environment wouldn't use paper bags though, they're using a reusable bag and keeping it for years. If they're not, you're right, they could reduce their impact. But they're still doing more than you claim to. "

                        This shows your own stupidity in light of the fact that they are worse for the environment. If you have a problem with plastics getting into the environment then complain about the trash process not about the usage of a product entirely since it's ineffective since there are just so many other products that use plastic that eliminating one does little to nothing to achieve your supposed end goal.

                        I don't need 1500 straws but it's not you aren't entitled to prevent me getting what i want vs what i need. As for your anecdotal experience i don't care. As for what you see as being enough, i don't care. Reality is most people won't keep the glass/steel/silicone straw for as many uses as you do making them as a replacement likely worse than the original.

                        Some people like straws, you are just an entitled clown trying to tell people how to live their lives. Mind your own business and live your life instead of being up in other peoples shit.

                        I don't actually throw straws into the ocean, i throw them in the bin, they end up in the ocean with all the other plastics we use because hippies are so stupid they don't even know how effect change that helps instead of just hindering others. Protest the disposal process not product usage and they might manage to effect more positive change rather than making things worse like they usually do while pissing off the people who's support they need.
