Two straws a day is two Starbucks or similar cold drinks, or McDonalds cold drinks, or a juice from the convenience store and a drink at lunch, or... It is very easy to use two disposable straws every day, and it's easy to use more than that.

I was just coming in to say this -- each eat and/or drink out is, typically, another straw. (Plus there's juice boxes, and many milks.)
