I’m really not seeing it. A rod of any kind in the mouth is very dangerous - as can be seen by the thousands of toothbrush injuries every year.

Glass, unless it’s a wine glass, most likely just gives you a bunch of cuts. Might need surgery, but better than paralysis!

Steel straws aren’t an option. All it takes is one kid getting a steel rod through their face, a $10 million ad campaign, and giving your child one will be likened to child abuse. This is easily foreseeable.



I've also never seen glass used in takeaway/disposable containers.
