The drinking straw was developed by the Egyptians in order to taste beer without removing the fermenting ingredients that floated on top of the container. The oldest straw ever found was in a Sumerian tomb and was a tube made of gold and inlaid with the precious stone lapis lazuli.
The modern paper straw was invented by Marvin C. Stone in 1888 because the rye grass straw he was using to drink his mint julep was dissolving into the drink and altering the taste.
