Today is National Drinking Straw Day. Well, maybe except in California.

What's it about?

From National Today:

Drinking Straw Day is celebrated on January 3 every year, the day Marvin Chester was awarded a patent for his innovation, i.e., the paper drinking straw. Imagine a world without straws.

 That would suck! (Pardon the pun.)
