Straws, used for centuries to access liquids, have evolved from ancient Sumerian metal tubes to modern plastic versions, with paper straws invented in the 1880s and bendable straws emerging in the 1930s. Ancient Origins: The earliest evidence of straws dates back to the Sumerians (around 3000 BC), who used long, thin tubes, sometimes made of precious metals, to drink beer. Ancient Egyptians also used straws, particularly to avoid ingesting insects that landed in their drinks. In ancient China, people in the Northern Wei Dynasty (300-500 AD) used hollow plant stalks as straws for drinking wine. In the 16th century, South Americans developed the "bombilla," a special straw with a filter, for drinking yerba mate. Paper Straws: In 1880, Marvin Stone, a paper cigarette holder manufacturer, invented the first paper drinking straw by wrapping strips of paper around a pencil and gluing them together. He patented his design in 1888, and by 1890, his factory was mass-producing them. The name "straw" comes from the cut hollow stems of cereal grasses, which were commonly used as drinking tubes. Bendable Straws: Joseph B. Friedman created the first bendable straw in the 1930s, inspired by his daughter's difficulty drinking from a straight straw. Plastic Straws: Plastic straws gained popularity in the 1960s due to their durability, lack of flavor alteration, and ease of mass production. The rise of plastic straws coincided with the increasing popularity of chilled beverages and refrigerators. Modern Straws and Sustainability: The environmental impact of plastic straws has led to a growing movement towards alternatives like paper and reusable straws. Many companies and governments have taken steps to reduce or eliminate plastic straw usage. For example, Starbucks announced plans to eliminate plastic straws from all global locations by 2020. In 2018, Seattle became the first city to ban plastic straws. In 2019, California enacted a "straw upon request" policy. #fyp #culture #straw #caribbean #latinos #foryoupage
