In 1888, Marvin Stone patented the spiral winding process to manufacture the first paper drinking straws. Stone was already a manufacturer of paper cigarette holders. His idea was to make paper drinking straws. Before his straws, beverage drinkers were using the natural rye grass straws. Stone made his prototype straw by winding strips of paper around a pencil and gluing it together. He then experimented with paraffin- coated manila paper, so the straws would not become soggy while someone was drinking.
