Using a straw when drinking sugary/ acidic drinks is supposed to be better for your teeth since it limits the exposure of sugar or acid to your teeth. Not sure how true that is, but I have had dentists suggest it as a way of lowering the chance of getting cavities.
Many fast food cups lack the structural integrity to hold the quantity of liquid that they’re supposed to without a lid, and using a lid necessitates using a straw
Everyone replying to you so far seems to be forgetting how you can just put a tiny hole on one edge of the lid to drink through without big ice chunks coming through
Please enlighten me, why do u even need a straw, can’t you just drink from the cup, like in the bottom pic?
*Im genuinly wondering.

Some people have disabilities
Fair point, but this is presumably about the 99.9998% other straw users.

When your drink cup has a bunch of ice, it’s easier to drink from with a straw.
One extremely far-fetched reason for using straws I’ve heard is that it’s somehow more hygienic than putting your mouth on restaurant cups.
That is why i only get food in places with disposable plates and cutlery ;)
