        We had one ... it was called a 'paper straw'. They didn't work all that well but it was better than killing the planet. We also have reusable bring-your-own cups with straws now.

        Build a channel running down the inside of the cup with a bit sticking out over the rim. Basically a built in straw. At least it would stay with the cup. Send my millions in a plain brown wrapper, no need to get the IRS involved. 😀
