    My headcanon says that this used to have a plastic window instead, until someone pointed out that having a plastic window in packaging of paper straws is ridiculous, so they decided to remove it. A package redesign without a window was also proposed, but was rejected for budgetary reasons.

      There is no way i can imagine such box that makes sense.

      People that use single use straws more likely require bulk and large numbers of single use items should never be economically expensive to produce.

      In large enough numbers a thin plastic wrap could work though i prefer a kleenex sized box.
