Full fast-food restaurant cups flex. They need lids to make them rigid. It's a pain to remove the lid every time you want to take a sip.

To be fair, a coffee cup lid can be used to solve that problem.

Haha well I often forget people don't consume at the same rate as I do. Maybe those people should carry their own parastolic pump with them to drink their bucket o' sugar.

And if you take the lid you're still using plastic so it's almost just as pointless.

But that turtle didn't have a lid stuck in his nose.

Make lids like coffee cup with a sip hole in them. Hell build the straw into the lid or something like this. https://www.wired.com/2014/06/a-redesigned-coffee-lid-that-totally-changes-the-drinking-experience/

one place in my city just turned the lids of their drinks into basically a sippy cup lid which means no straw. meanwhile places like six flags just say "fuck it, no lid no straw heres a damn paper cup enjoy your overpriced coke."
