popsicle sticks being used as coffee stirrers

i can't imagine why these popsicle sticks weren't used for their original purpose. who decides which one get used for delicious frozen goodness while the others are doomed to the steaming hot inferno that must be the nightmare for all popsicle sticks. what makes these coffee popsicle sticks not worthy of being in a dessert wonderland delight? and why aren't coffee stirrers used as popsicle sticks? think of the dastardly popsicle stick monopolies that just couldn't make enough profit off of just popsicles. did they do massive field marketing research to realize that they could expand their core demographic by expanding as a cheap stirrer of coffee? and whats the deal with airline food?
