Does anyone know of a citable reference (preferably
not from the internet) for the beginning date of the
plastic drinking straw and/or the date around which it
came into common use?  I have info on the history of
the drinking straw in general, and a date for flexible
drinking straws, but nothing about specific dates for
the plastic drinking straw.  

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Sarah
