1888, American inventor Marvin Si Tong invented the first plastic straw, which is considered as the prototype of the first straw cup in the world. Marvin Si Tong's straw is a mixture of paraffin wax and bamboo fiber, which is used to suck drinks in glasses. Subsequently, this kind of straw was gradually widely used in various beverage containers and gradually developed into a straw cup that we are familiar with today.
The appearance of straw cups not only facilitates people to be more hygienic and environmentally friendly when drinking liquids, but also promotes the improvement of social environmental awareness. In the 20th century, with the development and popularization of plastic industry, straw cups gradually became an indispensable item in people's daily life.
Nowadays, the straw cup has become a very popular beverage container, which is widely used not only in the family, but also in the commercial field. At the same time, with people's increasing attention to environmental protection and health, straw cups are constantly improving and innovating.
