Check out these straws!

I couldn't resist snapping this picture while I waited to pick up dinner at In-N-Out Burger. Check out the straws pushed through his ears.

Here are some straw facts I came across:

• Americans use 500 million straws daily.
• It is believed that it takes a straw up to 500 years to decompose.
• Plastic straw bans are going into effect around the US. California just became the first state to nix plastic straws from restaurant tables. Starting in 2019, customers in that state will have to ask for a straw if they want one.
