Don’t think most plastic straws would melt, but they would probably soften and might infuse more chemicals into your beverage than it would if it were cold. At this point I’d just go for the obvious solution of repurposing an old heat exchanger from an AC unit or something. The strange taste will go away after a few times (probably).
Yeah, I won’t drink anything hot out of plastic anymore: Corpos lied to us for decades that it was safe but it wasn’t and now we’re full of all sorts of terrible shit. The straw probably wouldn’t deform, but it probably would leech all sorts of chemicals into the water.
Wouldn’t the plastic straw melt in the hot tea? Maybe need metal or silicone straw adapter hooked onto plastic straw in heat exchanger 🤔

Personally I would use my knowledge in aerodynamics by blowing on the tea before sipping
you trying to make the tea fly?
I think they’re trying to use their knowledge of convective heat transfer vs conductive heat transfer.

It’s plastic not wax
Oh dear this had me I stitches. Can’t explain it. It tickled me just right.
It has “that breast implant is an animal” vibes.

Paper cups are wax coated, so it also depends on the wax as well.
Just go full metal. Better heat transfer.
