Creativity Street Flat Wood Toothpicks

These are actually quite impressive given the price point of roughly 7-8 toothpicks for 1 cent, and perfect for things like sandwiches, burgers, drinks, party platters, and crafts. As other reviews have pointed out, if you are looking to clean your teeth you'll probably be better off with dental floss. Added bonus! If you happen to buy an electric lighter for candles, you'll notice that the wick gets frayed pretty quickly. These light instantly and work as a great match alternative if you have an rechargeable lighter.

My dad loves those toothpicks

I needed some toothpicks for dripping alcohol inks onto metal blanks and dripping resin dyes into resin. I didn't need anything spectacular, just something much smaller than a popsicle stick. These do the job. I dispense a drop of whatever I am using on to the toothpick (it absorbs some of the color, but that's why I got a lot, so I could just throw used ones away, and not feel too badly about it because, as wood, they are biodegradable). I am not sure I would use these to clean between teeth. They seem more designed for craft purposes. I prefer to carry floss picks (that have a little bend-out plastic toothpick) if I need to remove food. These are flat and not round (should be obvious from the product name). These are very inexpensively made and somewhat inconsistent in quality. I suspect whether or not you like them will depend on what your intended use is. I probably wouldn't build a toothpick bridge out of them (we did something like that in elementary school) but if you just need to stir a small bit of colorant or something to a craft or cooking project (these would also work for adding gel food coloring to frosting), they are fine. A few are broken and they are sort of weak if you put a lot of pressure on them, but that is not really an issue for my particular applications. The sizing is a little inconsistent but again, not a problem for me. (Your mileage may vary.)

They are rather poorly manufactured. The wood is not suited for toorhpicks because it is too fragile to hold up under use and the box of toothpicks had framents of toothpicks. However, they are better for my use than the Chinese toothpicks widely and , in many cases, ubiquitously and exclusively sold throughout the USA and South Korea. Flat toothpicks are not sold in any retail stores that I am aware of in this town or state. That's why I had to order the flat toothpicks from Amazon. Then Amazon delivered my order to another address in my subdivisioin and I had to go hunting for my order. Luckly I found my order. I was unable to complain to Amazon.

I bought these as a prop for a lab I do in my Biology class for Natural Selection. I used food coloring to dye them, and they worked very well. They are not as robust as other toothpicks, and there were a few broken ones in the box, but not many. They served my needs well. If you plan to use them for crafting you wont be disappointed, if you plan to use them to pick your teeth I would avoid them :)

I learned to stick to a good brand name toothpick from now on. The quality is just not there on this product.

Serve their purpose hard to believe it's hard to find these in the store anymore

If you want flat toothpicks, you will either have to purchase these through Amazon.com, or go out and cut down a tree and create your own. Flat toothpicks no longer exist in any store I have searched through -- and I have really, really searched. I've even asked people who own restaurants where they might be found, to no avail. The truth is, every one in the box might not be perfect, but there are 2,500 in the box, and this will serve you for quite some time! I can't imagine how they could be used for crafts, but they do work as toothpicks. Make them special -- dip the end in some toothpaste for a really fresh feeling. Works every time! I can't see the reason for all the negative reviews. Folks, these may be the only flat toothpicks left on Planet Earth, so buy them while you can!! :)

Been searching for these for a while. Don't like the cocktail style tooth picks. Did not need 2500 but hey ho it will do.

Endlich keine runden dicken Zahnstocher sondern für meine empfindlichen Zähne passen nur diese hier erwähnten. Eine etwas längere Lieferzeit nimmt man gerne in Kauf den die Verarbeitung ist perfekt!!

Round toothpicks don't fit between my teeth, and flat ones are often weak and splintery. So glad I found these.

looked all over for flat tooth pics and could not find. These are great, just what the DR. ordered.

I was trusting they all would be in individual smaller boxes of say 500, but they were in 1 box of 2,500, so one has to be very careful opening the box when one only needs a couple at a time
