Never Burn a Plastic Straw Close to Your Face……

Rebecca Baker, reporter

I’m assuming not everyone burns plastic straws. Well this weekend I decided I wanted to try to build something out of plastic straws, but it definitely did not go as planned. As I lit the plastic up and the plastic began to drip one of my friends decided to flick the straw towards me and it landed on my face and my boyfriend tried to get it off as fast as he could but by the time he got it off of me it had already burnt through a layer of my skin. My friend ran to get me water so quick because he was terrified about what he had done. So lesson learned DO NOT try to burn a plastic straw.
