New Starbucks Plastic Lids Suck

For the past month or so, I noticed that the plastic cups Starbucks uses for iced drinks feel different. They’re not as soft as before and not as transparent, kinda cloudy looking. Supposedly, these new cups require less plastic or something.

This isn’t so bad. What is bad is the new lids. They’re so stiff that the straws can’t easily puncture through them, and even when they do, the lid squeezes the straw shut making it impossible to drink anything.

How infuriating to have your caffeine addiction raging while sucking away at a straw that ain’t pulling in the java.
