+143 I like to tear the straw wrapper off the straw instead of smacking it on the table, amirite?

I am forced to tear them open now that most places use paper straws. Smacking them on the table destroys a paper straw.

I have been doing this for years. Had way too many straws bend and split from hitting it on the table at the wrong angle or just the straws being cheap.

I rip the end off, then fire the paper at an unsuspecting target by blowing into the straw like a crazy peashooter!

What is smacking it on the table? Just push the straw up and it will tear the wrapper like a push pop

I've become this way because recently it seems like straws are made more flimsy?? Every time I smack them on the table now they break and crack

I am so confused— is this a regional thing? I tear open the straws by hand. Everyone in my family tears the straws open by hand. Everyone I've ever gone out to eat with tears the straws open by hand.

I always tear the end off then blow the straw paper at the person across from me.
