Annoying Coffee Accoutrements

Stir sticks. I use mine for hot chocolate, but the result is the same. If you use one, they end up bending in half, rendering themselves nearly worthless. I usually grab two, but then it annoys me that I can't get two sticks of the same length. There are 1,000 stir sticks in a box, and none of them are equal in length to another in the same package; sure seems like I should be able to have a matching pair.
