do you remember paper straws?

when i was a kid, one of the highlights of going to grandma’s house was drinking ting soda out of bottles with paper straws. the straws would get all soggy from the liquid and the bad-habit chewing.
but did you know they still make paper straws? there’s a company called aardvark. cool, eh?
p.s. ting is now known more as a different jamaican brand soda. reports of the original ting’s death are mixed. nevertheless, returnable bottles are a part of wisconsin nostalgia.

Ted’s Montana Grill in Bolingbrook uses paper straws… they’re a ton of fun and pretty durable!
