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.

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 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.)

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

Do not buy these. The picks are poorly made and very uneven, lots of broken bits in the box. The worst part is they are rough and have splinters. I had to have a splinter removed by an emergency dentist. I almost got a splinter on my lip, they are that shaggy. Some savings eh? If you are using them for building models or crafting they might be okay but keep these out of your mouth.

These are not the flat toothpicks I remember from long ago. But they are better than no toothpicks at all and can reach places the round toothpicks cannot. They are less well formed and weaker than flat toothpicks used to be. The best all-purpose wooden toothpicks I have found are the slim Stimudents, but they come with a mint flavor, which I don't care for. I have discovered, however, that most of the mint washes off if one rinses the Stimudent in hot water. They are, however, much more expensive.

Really! A review four old style toothpicks!

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!!

My Dad uses toothpicks every day. He prefers these ones - that are sort of flat, pointed at one end and rounded at the other end. Unfortunately, for the last few months, my Mom and I have only been able to find the completely round versions in the stores. We had to get creative and found these toothpicks on Amazon, which were exactly what he wanted. He found it quite funny that we ordered them via Amazon, but he's so picky, we didn't have a choice!

My husband only likes the rounds and I could only find flats in the stores or those plastic things. He is very pleased with these and has a big supply now.

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
