Bamboo Toothpicks, Pack of 3000

My boys and I are toothpick aficionados. Like a nice sharp pick that we can chew on for a while, without breaking or getting too soft. These are the ones. They do have a few duds in the box, some too thin,or broken, but most are good ones. They do get a little flexible after I chew on them a while but don't bend or break, they stay VERY sharp and are small enough in diameter to get the food out from between the teeth.

These toothpicks do not come in perfect condition. About 30% of the toothpicks were broken, split, or had pieces hanging off. Being bamboo they are really soft compared to other wood toothpicks. However, if you need toothpicks in bulk for science experiment, craft projects or other projects, they are perfect. The soft wood makes them fairly easy to trim and cut. These toothpicks are also a reasonable price for the quantity. For already knowing this would not be a pristine box of toothpicks, I was not disappointed by them. The broken ones went towards an art project and the ones in good condition were saved for parties.

I expected to be able to use the paper box as a dispenser, like I do with traditional birch picks. The cardboard making up the box is literally paper thin. The box was crushed on arrival, only held together with tape. Extra tape was used, and the act of removing all of it trashed the box the rest of the way. I had to immediately find alternate storage.The picks themselves are quite thin, but being bamboo, also very strong. Slippery, too, which I didn't expect. I used one, and after having it in my mouth for an hour, it showed no sign of deterioration.

These are thin, and strong. They really get into the tight spaces.And bamboo is extremely fast growing and sustainable, compared to cutting down trees. We should start making all "wood" products out of bamboo, so much better than tree wood for so many reasons.

I have ordered these bamboo toothpicks several times but the last order is not the same quality. The toothpicks bend and break very easy.

Great value on these toothpicks! We use them in Bible school with mini marshmallows to create tower of babel projects for each child. They had a blast working with them. No breakage and no injuries L O L.

What an age we live in where I can review toothpicks online! For starters they are wooden, which is nice. They are pointy on both ends (I can see how they would excel at picking teeth), and there are so many in the box that they're practically disposable! Thorough toothpick shoppers should research no further and buy these toothpicks!Now to be serious... I bought them to mix tiny cups of paint and varnish for scale models. They are plenty rigid and don't break when I stir with them. They work perfectly for the purpose I bought them.

I was looking for a product that was both eco friendly and inexpensive. The checked both of those boxes. They are very well made and much better then some of those REALLY cheep toothpicks. These are good quality and I will be purchasing them from now on.
