produce straws strong enough to withhold being punched through their own wrappers.

We've all ordered a drink from a restaurant and received a paper-covered straw. Most times, that paper-covered straw is too flimsy to break through its delicate sheath. You attempt to deliver the straw from its fragile paper, and you end up with a plastic piece of trash that's split and broken in 2-3+ places, worthless of doing its job of transporting that delicious liquid from the to-go cup to your awaiting taste buds. It's barbaric. We, as Americans, deserve stronger, more stable straws. If you sign this petition, we will be well on our way to a stronger America, even if that just means our straws.
