A drink is far less likely to spill if you use a straw.

Yet somehow many of us manage to go about life without ever using a straw or spilling anything.

It's really not that hard...

Being able to be less careful, or be a less coordinated person, and yet not spill, has utility.

Not at the expense of manufacturing, consuming and disposing of plastic (or PFAS...)

I was responding to zukzuk's argument, that straws have no utility.
