“This company is awesome as far as I can tell. I doubt we can get truly reduce plastic pollution without changing some habits. I believe that one major habit exacerbating our plastic pollution problem is the prioritization of convenience over sustainability. Some examples are using plastic straws for drinks, plastic forks for food, throwing away hand sanitizer bottles after they're empty.
Final seems to be attempting to curb this problem by creating a variety of products that encourage people to give up a little convenience to help reduce their personal contribution to solid pollution. In my opinion, Final is great at this because they create products that are not only functional, but cool as well. Honestly, carrying their reusable straw around is a little inconvenient for me compared to just getting a disposable straw from wherever I go. But, their straw is pretty cool and feels like a solid product, which, oddly enough, I always feel excited to use because I think it's a cool product. Personally, I find that satisfaction outweighs the inconvenience of carrying an extra item around.
Final has other products aimed at filling a similar need in different categories coming as well. I am very excited to see what they do next.”

“I have a total of 7 Final straws I backed the original in a 4 pk, then the "mermaid" rainbow color version and when i saw the Pirates Booty Black I knew I NEEDED it because final straw's straws are my favorite of all the reusable kinds out there; I tend to hit my teeth not paying attention with the only metal kind. Plus I didn't love having to buy reusable plastic ones bc if you drink anything acidic (aka tomato juice OR bloody marys) they tend to taint anything plastic with a slight scent or flavor depending on what it was. Final Straw has not yet giving me an issue with this. So with this history already with the original kickstarted pack, having such a great experience, I was thrilled to have a black version to purchase. It is my favorite color and matches most of my aesthetic. Now all I need is a royal Purple set and all would be perfect in my straw world.”
