Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Wide straws
Did anybody else notice a few years ago McDonalds switched to a wider straw?

---------------------------------------
Badass! (and delicious)
New Yep...
Its caused a lot of straw MFGs to switch to larger ones.

Personally, I think they are wide, a bit much. It makes it far to easy to gulp the drink.

larger than 5/16" for MCD's straws, about 7/32" for "regular" straws and slightly smaller 1/4" for old "normal" straws and 3/32" for cocktail straws.

Oh well...
New If by "a few years ago" you mean some time in the 70s
Micky D's has always used pipeline-sized straws.
