It’s so refreshing to see people arguing about something so sweet and innocent on social media it really takes me back to the good old days of 2008.
A woman from California posted a question on Twitter over the weekend, “Does a straw have one or two holes?” and now it’s all out war on the internet debating the answer.
We had a riveting discussion about this at lunch, but I want to hear from all of you: Does a straw have one or two holes?

Here are the best arguments we saw for both sides:
The argument for one hole:
straws have one hole. would you say a donut has 2 holes? no. a straw is just a long plastic donut. its not long enough to get away with having 2 holes. humans are long enough donuts to have 2 holes, humans even have several holes. straws are not human length

And the argument for two holes: “The straw is a small, manmade tunnel. There’s a hole to enter in and a hole to exit. If a hole led to no other point of egress then it’s a pit, or a bag, etc.”
Here’s another silly debate that people get intense about.
