We all know the disappointment when you order a milkshake from a well-known fast food chain, and the straw quickly becomes soft and soggy. For example, McDonald's has decided to switch to paper straws for their milkshakes in an effort to be more environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, many customers have complained about these new straws, which often prove to be not as sturdy and durable.

With us, you don’t have to worry about the quality of paper straws. Our thick milkshake straws are made from high-quality material that lasts, even in the creamiest and most flavorful milkshakes. They are specially designed to be sturdy and strong, so you can enjoy your milkshake without any concerns.
Moreover, our thick milkshake straws are also environmentally friendly. They are made from reed!
Why Did McDonald's Get Rid of Plastic Straws for Milkshakes?
Due to the EU ban on single-use plastic products, many companies have had to replace their plastic disposables with sustainable alternatives. Additionally, sustainability goals and pressure from consumers have also played a role.
Why Does McDonald's Use Paper Straws for Milkshakes?
McDonald's introduced paper straws to replace plastic ones as they are more environmentally friendly and have a lower impact on the environment. However, not everyone is happy with this change, as paper straws tend to become soggy quickly, especially in cold drinks like milkshakes.
What Are Good Milkshake Straws?
There are several options, but we're definitely fans of reed straws! Reed straws are completely natural and minimally processed, as they are made from plant stems!
