Paper straws, while biodegradable, can become soggy and lose their structural integrity when exposed to liquid for an extended period. The limited durability can lead to a less satisfying user experience, especially in drinks that take a long time to consume. This issue is particularly noticeable in beverages, such as milkshakes or cocktails, that take longer to consume. Customers may find the disintegration of paper straws inconvenient, leading to dissatisfaction and potential reluctance to use them.
