The **Paper Straw meme** stems from widespread frustration over **paper straws dissolving or becoming soggy** while drinking. As many places phased out plastic straws for environmental reasons, people began sharing jokes about how **ineffective** paper straws can be, especially in thicker drinks like milkshakes. By the **late 2010s and early 2020s**, the meme gained traction on **Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok**, with users exaggerating how quickly paper straws **fall apart, stick to lips, or ruin drinks**. While some memes mock the inconvenience, others highlight the irony of **companies using paper straws while still producing excessive plastic waste elsewhere**.
