Straw or no straw? Let's debate. - Tiki Drinks and Food

To me they add to the garnish, and the brighter the better. I like to choose the colour of the straw depending on the colour of the mug. Anything with a nicely smelling garnish(mint, gardenia, plumeria etc.) shouldn't have a straw, so you can bury your nose in there, but those short straws would be ok in a short glass. I find it difficult to drink beverages that contain a lot of crushed ice without a straw. I have to sort of use my teeth as sieve, not very ladylike. And besides, I can't drink nearly fast enough that way! I like to play with my straw, and I tend to drink faster when using a straw(as stated above) Straws are good! But you won't catch me asking for one if it's not already included. I'll take what I'm given :)
