If you are talking about the kind that has a groove embedded in the side of the cup whether the straw goes, I removed the straw and soaked it in hot water with a tablespoon of bleach. If there is material, such as clotted milk, let it soak until the solids dissolve. The trouble is being sure that everything has rinsed out. I let hot water run through the straw for a few minutes and then blew on one end to make sure there was no water trapped inside. I wiped off the tip and let it dry in the strainer. The tricky part was getting it back on correctly. I wound up throwing it away when my three year old wasn't looking.

Depends on the straw...
Yes. It is a fruit which is grown on straw - a straw-berry
Regular straw would not be safe to use as insulation. . .there are places that sell treated straw though, and they would have to tell you the r-value
It depends on the length of the straw. I would go get a straw, measure it with a ruler, and multiply that by 1,000,000. So if the straw was 4 inches, it would be 4,000,000. You could also google .... length average "drinking straw".... without the quotes.
Straw is the dried stem of a grain plant. A bit means a tiny amount.
