But the sea turtles Res... I have yet to see a picture of a sea turtle with a coffee cup lid in its nose.

Where’s the irony?
It used to be a cup, lid, and straw.
Now it’s a cup and a lid...

It’s like rain on your wedding day.
It’s like the good advice you just didn’t take.

Okay, I'll retract my comment on "it's better for your health" if it makes you happy. People still eat far too much meat for their actual needs, and reduction would be good for their health.
Fact remains it's much better for the planet, full stop.

Why can't iced coffee come in a paper cup like hot coffee?

The plastic cup is recyclable. The waxed paper cup is not.

The plastic cup is technically recyclable(how many make it that far?), but the wax/paper one will break down eventually, the plastic one will not.

Beverages hot or cold should be served in those compostible plastic bags like the ones they have at the Costco meat departments. Many countries in Asia put liquids in plastic bags, why can't we?

Because it's ridiculous. You can't put it down. And you need the devil's tool, a straw.

One of the primary means of breaking down a compostible bag is heat, I don't think putting hot liquids in them would go well.

Yeah I think they found a way to turn them into single use bedpans. I’ve seen them in Ontario hospitals.
Either way, my point was one isn’t necessarily an improvement on the other.

lol, do you think recycling actually does something? It's just garbage put in a different place.

-> Pages/Single use plastics are terrible
-> Pages/At least we're getting rid of straws
-> They got rid of the straw, but iced coffee still comes in a plastic cup with a plastic lid
-> Tim Hortons plastic cups are recyclable, paper cups are not
-> They're allowed in the blue bins
-> Hospital bedpans are distinguishably recycled Tim Hortons paper coffee cups
-> Recycling paper cups just becomes garbage in another place
Are those plastic cups and lids being recycled?

Lids and straws weren’t recycled because they are too small.

Blaze Pizza did this too, got new lids for cups that don’t require a straw. Except the lids are significantly thicker plastic now. The amount of plastic overall is probably about the same, and the whole thing is a worse experience.

Yep. Though the Tims one doesn't seem quite that bad. Looks like similar amount of plastic, just remolded.
My point was largely how this is barely more than corporate slactivism. The straw amounts to maybe 1% of the total single-use plastic involved in serving that drink. It's just not a big deal.
