Straws are bad for all of us!

Herm I got this information somewhere on the net which I lost track. Not sure whether is this true or not, but I think it’s worth sharing.

According to the info, we humans customers now are “trained” to drink with straws. You will ask for a straw when you are dining in any restaurants. But actually why do we need it? Some of you might tell me that you don’t want your lips to touch the glass, but let me ask you this, do you drink your soft drinks with straw at home?

Our human lips are always associate with the thirstiness. You won’t feel so thirsty if your lips is wet. In the restaurant, you drink with straws, your lips never gets wet, that’s why you drink a lot.

Don’t believe? There are some drinks that served with toppings on top like hot chocolate with cream. You finish your chocolate slowly, why? It’s because the cream gave your lips a thin coating so your lips won’t feel dry.

Still don’t believe?! Noticed the size of the straws is bigger in size compared to last time, so that you could drink MORE! That’s why restaurants give you free straws.

Still not convinced? Next time when you order any carbonated drinks or ice lemon tea, skip the straw. You should see yourself drinking lesser, or at a slower speed.

Not only drinking a lot, but you also drink at a much faster speed with straws, and this leads to some way of indigestion. Anyone thought of obesity now?

So actually who invented this straw thing? I bet it’s some of the super-brains in the food industry (my assumption only). With straws, you drink more. When you drink more, you pay more. When you pay more, they earn more. Isn’t that such a perfect plan? And we, the consumers are the victims.

Next time when you go makan, try not to drink with straws. It makes difference.
