The US have not embraced the paper straw/wooden cutlery life. I know it hasn't been that long since we ditched the plastic straws and I was just getting used to them finally.. but now, like a pasta addict years on the wagon who just slurped a fresh sauce covered spaghet.. I remember how great it was. Sorry, sea turtles ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿข

How big is that thing? the perspective makes it look like the circumference of a dinner plate.

It's just a mini one. Size of a small custard tart I'd say.

Haha that's brilliant. I bet his speech writers were working late one night and one goes "I bet I can get him to do a Seinfeld bit" and they all had a good laugh
