Arthur A. Aykanian (b.1923), of Massachusetts, invented the first plastic bendable straw, the so-called "bendy straw." He had a patent on the first stay-bent plastic straw, as well. He was the inventor of the spoon straw, originally used for the 7-11 Slurpee.
You can typically fold a plastic drinking straw in half only once. Attempting to fold it a second time will likely result in the straw breaking or crumpling due to its rigidity and material properties. This limitation applies to standard plastic straws, which are not designed to withstand multiple folds.
Marvin Chester Stone invented the drinking straw because he didn't like the earlier invention of drinking straws by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia where they used dry, hollow, rye-grass as drinking straw's. He believed it made beverages taste like grass.

The modern drinking straw was patented on 3 December 1888 by Marvin Chester Stone who was employed at a paper cigarette holder factory in Washington DC. He invented the drinking straw by using a fine piece of paper from the cigarette holder factory, rolled it around a pencil then coated it in wax to prevent it becoming waterlogged.

Yes, plastic drinking straws will float in water.
A plastic straw is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity.
