O’Nella’s Straw 

O’Nella’s Straw is a philosophical term once coined by the great philosopher Sam O’Nella, on his famous work “Kinds of Straws”, a revered piece of entertainment and philosophical thinking.

The concept of O’Nella’s Straw is comparable to Occam’s Razor, a thought process where we should prever simple explanations for things that cannot be proven.

The main difference between the two is t he fact that the Straw is only applicable to straws of any kind.
“Has a firm believer of O’Nella’s straw, I find that the child using that bent monstrosity in this Oliver Garden establishment is a disgrace from humanity.”
