Local coffee brand ZUS has quickly won over many hearts with its delightful brews and reasonable prices.
But even the best local favorites aren’t without their faults.
A common issue? Their eco-friendly straws don’t seem to hold up very well.
Especially when you’re deep in work and your drink sits for an hour or two, you might come back to find your straw disintegrating into a soggy mess.
But these are the straws that are designed to be more environmentally friendly and don’t need to end up in landfill sites because the straws are edible and will not pose any recycling issues.
This straw issue has stirred up quite a bit of online chatter, with one netizen’s tweet catching a lot of attention.
Zus ko tolong buang straw kau ni. Dunia ni nak musnah dah lets get back to plastic straw. pic.twitter.com/tVd5f2B9Fb
