My teeth make pretty good retainers. It seems like a weird nostalgia thing. There must be far more pop consumed in a bottle than in a fast food cup, and I’ve never seen anyone put a straw in a bottle (except on tv).
In some countries canned drinks are known to be unsanitary. Rodents would pee on cans and someone would rinse/wash the top (hopefully). You’d buy a can and get a straw because they don’t scrub the little notch. You’d see yellow.
Maybe beverages could be served in containers that don’t require a straw. I wouldn’t mind being served a can or a bottle instead a cardboard cup.
The main issue is drinks with ice. But maybe we could add a retainer on top of the glass to hold the ice so we can sip directly from the cup.

The cold is a bit too much on my teeth unfortunately.
Weirdly, in south eat Asia they often give you straws in bottles. I don’t know why.
That’s true in my experience in SEA too, but it felt like a status thing.
They used to do straws in glass bottles, back when glass bottles for soda were a big thing. Maybe it’s a sanitary thing?
It was sold as reducing cavities, but really just for money.
Just sip directly. Why does ice present a challenge?

EVERYONE uses straws for health reasons.
