The first straws were made by the Sumerians, and used for drinking beer (as to avoid the solid byproducts of fermentation).

One particular advantage of using a straw when drinking is the reduction of tooth decay. Many soft drinks have acidic properties, and using a straw reduces the liquid contact with the teeth, reducing tooth decay and the risk of cavities. interesting, amirite?
