Starbucks strawless lids hit Toronto this month!
Last March, Starbucks announced it would be rolling out new, lightweight, recyclable strawless lids for iced beverages in select markets around the country.

Toronto will be the first city in the country to receive the new lids, rolling out to the rest of Canada in 2020.
