Daniel February 4, 2008 at 9:53 am: Ted's also likes you to think they are environmentally friendly because they use paper straws. Never mind that paper straws use more energy to produce than plastic straws. Nevermind that paper straws have terrible "mouthfeel." And nevermind that the straws get soggy in your drink. The company that makes the straws Ted's uses, Aardvark Straws, won't even tell you what they make the straws with so you don't know what you are putting in your body.
