Also you never tried drinking from a fast food drink cup full of ice. Freezes your damn lips.

Reusable straws are gross. Unless you are taking a brush to the inside every time you're kidding yourself.
Yes that is what I do. I treat them like any other dish I use for eating. The side that touches the food gets scrubbed (also the other side im not gross). And every time I bought metal straws they came with a brush.
I also just love the feeling of metal straws when drinking cold drinks because they also get cold. The drink just feels colder if the straw is also cold

Basically, there is very little study / regulation on PFAS and other harmful chemicals on really everything. However most food contact materials (FCM) are full of the stuff. It's almost always better to bypass and not use single use FMCs. The more of them you remove from your use, the less you pollute and the less you expose yourself to harmful chemicals.
Kinda late now for most adults but didn't hurt to minimize exposure
Just use trough food and drink in one easy to clean vessle
Seattle has commercially compostable plastic straws. They feel pretty much like plastic but are kind of matte. Even the single use forks/knives/spoons from restaurants are like that. But then again we do large scale compost across the city.
The only bad thing about a metal straw is the stray ceiling tile that falls on your head. Well there is probably several bad things about a metal straw, not something a skateboarder can carry in their pocket.

You can also use a chive leaf as a straw. It'll affect the taste, but it's fun to eat it afterwards
