MontoPack Bamboo Wooden Toothpicks | 1000-Piece Large Wood Round Toothpicks in Clear Plastic Storage Box | Sturdy Safe Double Sided Party, Appetizer, Olive, Barbecue, Fruit, Teeth Cleaning Toothpicks

It's rare that I write reviews but after 4 years of use, on my first order of 1000, solely ordered to pick my teeth, I will never choose another brand. These are the best toothpicks I've used ever and I'm kind of a snob as I've gone through countless toothpicks which were all way too soft. These bamboo toothpicks are tough and very durable. They never go soft and never get soggy. They barely bend at all! I've been looking for some good quality picks and these are definitely going to be what I buy until the end of my time. The packaging is quality too. I've purchased other picks in hard, plastic cases, and those cases usually crack and break relatively easily. This case is a more durable, thicker, hard plastic that holds 500 picks and that has a hole at the top to allow one pick to come out at a time. I've dropped these cases, and likely put enough pressure on them to crack them due to getting squished for what ever reason, but the case has held up with no cracks in sight. Packaging is a pretty trivial point as we're less concerned with how the toothpicks are contained, but I thought it is worth mentioning. I tell my family that these tooth picks are mine and they're not to use them for anything other than their teeth. My wife buys generic toothpicks at the local market for her baking needs, and if my kids need a pick for their projects, these are hands off; that's how much I value them. I keep one of the two containers in the kitchen cabinet and the other in my office, as well as a small resealable back of them in my vehicle, and a few in my wallet. I don't leave home without them. I finally am down to my last few picks, after four years, and it's time to buy more. These are OUTSTANDING in every way, both quality and quantity for the cost! Look no where else! You've found the end of the rainbow! :D

Why did you pick this product vs others?: As described. The paper is a little on the cheap side (no biggie) meaning they are not fancy. Just basic, practical, and cheap. No complaints overall. Great for personal hygiene. No cross-contamination compared to loose tooth-picks. Durability: Great. Thickness: Near perfect. Size: Excellent Texture: Basic, not luxury. Functionality: Great.

They do the job but are a little fragile.

I intensely dislike the fact that the product was supplied loose in a cardboard box which is useless for presenting the bamboo sticks, used as toothpicks, when the picture of the product shows them in plastic containers which present the sticks so that they can be extracted one at a time.

I think there’s been a mistake. I’ve received peppermint scented kindling. There was no indication I would have to whittle the toothpicks myself.
