Friday, January 3, 2025 is Drinking Straw Day 2025. National Drinking Straw Day: 125 Years of Sipping and Slurping National Drinking Straw Day:

Consuming Hay Day remembers the invention and patenting from the (paraffin-covered) paper consuming hay by Marvin C. Stone in 1888.

Straws were more popular when disposable/paper cups were less common and were of lower quality. Also, dishwashing machines didn’t do as good a job of sanitizing as they do today.

Restaurants encourage folks to use straws because they drink faster using a straws than when they drink from a glass.

Can I drink through a straw 2 days after extraction?

You can use a cup or a glass to drink from and you can eat normal foods. I had 3 teeth removed and went home and ate a roast dinner. Stop being a wooz..................

Sodas and straws?

Yes drinking through a straw will help keep some of the sugar off of your teeth, but not all of it. Drinking sprite will not make a difference either, for the person that posted that. If you have decay on your front teeth, then you need to quit drinking soda or pop as some want to call it altogether. Try to switch to diet, or drink more water. Not only is the sugar bad for you, but also the acid in a lot of soft drinks is bad as well. There are several studies out that also show that people who drink more carbonated beverages have decreased bone density. You don't want brittle bones, as they support your body, but also hold your teeth in your mouth and jaw. Sports drinks are even worse for your teeth then carbonated beverages. So if you do have a carbonated drink or a sports drink, use a straw, and then make sure you rinse with water, then brush your teeth. When you mess them up, clean them up.
