I have one in the car, but keeping it clean & etc can be an issue. It's also awkward to carry around in my pocket once it's been used if in town. It's also daft picking on straws given the amount of plastics that they use elsewhere - especially the crap in their Happy Meals, plastic cutlery wrapped in cellophane & plastic lids on everything.

We went in a cafe when skiing which had pasta as straws they were about the same diameter as a normal straw and worked perfectly and the kids ate them after they had finished their drink

Whatever you think of the product and the company's modus operandi they do have some of the best advertising out there. Most of its telly ads are beautifully put together with a specific target audience in mind which, I should think, they hit every time. The 'Like getting your money's worth' campaign is well scripted and very professionally acted, avoiding pretentiousness and set in environments that we can all relate to. The farming advert goes straight to the 2+2 suburban family and reinforces the meat is good message which, let's face it, is as essential to a burger company as it is farmers.

Our local KFC has to be without doubt the dirtiest place I've ever had the displeasure of eating at, as tables that sticky and gluppy that hands that contact them or clothes will almost need the fire service to cut you from there holds and bins are never emptied and toilet floors as sticky as the table tops and staff that don't speak English that couldn't give s flying feck.
I have never seen a McDonald's any where comparable and they even serve organic milk with my cup of tea?? bleady proper?.
The local radio is driving me around the bend currently with either Costa Coffee advertising it's none dairy vegan milks or Fecking Aldi offering their range of Vegan alternative's including Vegan ice cream ????? ( some things are just so wrong). And they food miles on some of this crap just beggers believe ?
Atleast "Funky Farmer" on YouTube is showing his bit for UK agricultural by how vile this crap is and his poor little boys have suffered as well and the biggest laugh is how many times labels have stated that these products may contain DAIRY ??????.

I’m pretty sure KFC’s are all franchises, so cleanliness, staffing levels, etc is down to whoever is running it. McD’s have far more control from head office, employing managers themselves and all running on the same strict, corporate regimes. Just a shame their burgers have the texture of chopped rubber.?

Maccys do franchises https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/franchising.html but they have much stricter regulation, inspection & penalties in place because they know the value of their brand. Depending on location you could be looking at up to £500k startup costs (the alleged £100k is for sites already suitable for use) & unless you are lucky in getting the right spot it can take 3+ years to build up enough trade to be sustainable. The application process for obtaining a franchise is very rigorous & designed to weed out unsuitable applications.
