OK, I think we've all had a little too much caffeine here at SE World Headquarters because this is perhaps one of the most ridic polls we've ever dreamed up. Still, after contemplating the bendy nature of the straws in our iced coffees from down the street, we have to ask ...

Do you prefer straight or bendy straws? »

Other pressing questions you might consider:

• White, clear, or striped straws?
• Narrow vs. wide straws
• Plastic or paper straws?
• Do you share straws? (Oh, wait. We've already asked that one!)
• Um ... crazy straws!

You're just lucky we didn't make this "Straw Poll Week" on SE! ;)
