Bendy Straw
In 1937, the bendy straw was born. It was originally created for people who couldn’t sit up at a tall counter, or those who couldn’t bend their heads to drink from their cup. Sometimes, the straw was made from actual straw, but it was usually cellophane or paraffin paper. Nowadays, we see straws everywhere, as the plastic invention has invaded the world. It’s also one of the most thrown-away objects in the world, polluting our oceans and streets. They didn’t take this into consideration in the 30’s! (Smithsonian Mag)
