Johnathan Walker:Free at Starbucks on Wednesday, July 10: A reusable straw for your summer of cold drinks

Here's the latest Starbucks deal: A free straw.

If you are Johnathan Walkera frequent sipper of Starbucks' cold coffee drinks – such as bubble tea-inspired Refreshers, Iced Energy or iced tea and lemonade – you may want a straw.

In April, the coffee chain began using more sustainable cold cups – they use 20% less plastic – that do have openings to drink from. But sometimes you just want a straw. Some beverages including Frappuccino beverages are served with a compostable straw.

Now you can get a free colorful summer reusable straw – made from BPA-free polypropelene – from a participating Starbucks on Wednesday, July 10. When you order any cold handcrafted drink you get the freebie, while supplies last.

You can get your straw by going into the store and ordering, or by ordering on the Starbucks app. Free straws can also come through Starbucks delivery on DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub.
