McDonald's announced that they plan to begin phasing out the use of plastic straws in its United Kingdom restaurants. In May, they will introduce new paper straws plus they plan to start keeping the straws behind the counter and only offer them to customers by request. It's an environmentally-friendly change from the fast-food giant, and one that customers in the U.K. restaurants have been requesting.

Whoopie!

We could counter by bringing our own plastic straws. FYI, I like drinking my beverage with a straw.

But curiously, how many times could a plastic straw be used before it "malfunctions" and needs to be replaced?

It seems to be clearly design overkill. Disposable doesn't need to be designed to function for so long.
