Before the 1980’s do you remember always being given a straw in restaurants?

I don’t.

When I started drinking iced tea I began to understand why a straw is a good idea. My glass was full of ice, and I could barely get any drink unless I used a straw.

Plus, one time as I try to take a drink, I tipped the glass and at first the ice was stuck to the bottom of the glass, and then suddenly all of the ice came towards my face and the drink got all over me.

My drink of choice before that was Coke no ice, and I never wanted or needed a straw with it.

I’m interested if it’s different around the world. America is notorious for giving a lot of ice in drinks, while most other countries don’t. For me, the ice is the big factor for whether I want a straw or not.
