Nice packaging and containersAfter using this toothpick I’ll use no other because they never split, splinter, spread or unravel like all wooden toothpicks I’ve used all my life. But they should tell you to run a piece of tape around the container top, otherwise when you turn upside down to dispense a toothpick you’ll likely shake the top loose and end up sweeping the entire contents off the floor! After learning this important taping procedure I have re-ordered 6 more containers as they are great toothpicks! Toothpicks: 5+ Stars/Dispenser Container: 0- StarsWe much prefer bamboo toothpicks over regular wooden ones, but they're hard to find in stores. Bamboo works well for dislodging those bits of food that get trapped tightly between teeth since bamboo is more durable. Have been ordering them online for the past several years but the quality has been deteriorating since 2019. Hoping that a different vendor would improve that situation didn't work. These were the first 3 out of the package of 6 plastic containers/dispensers. None have finely pointed ends, nor were they smoothly rounded. I assume the rest of the container will have good as well as bad, but I didn't check each one. They are just toothpicks after all, and the price is good. They look like the sturdy bamboo we've come to prefer so I'll keep them. I'll just have to watch the finish on each one so I don't get a splinter in my gums!Some of these toothpicks are not shaped right so you can't use them for anythingI love toothpicks, but I hate plastic ones. I have used cheap wood ones from the grocery store that don't hold up to a real 'tooth-picking' event. ??They usually break or get soft and splinter. I was intrigued about the bamboo ones, and it seemed cheaper in bulk, so I tried them. They are AMAZING. sturdy, sharp, and durable. I hate to throw them away. There are a few "off picks" that are cut strangely, but overall, I love them.I mean that's satirically speaking but anyway I love these little things.Just I'm so clumsy that I am always tipping them over and the cap is always popping off so I'm spilling them all the time but then I use those ones for crafting which I never really have a wasted toothpick you know.Awesome deal thank you.There are some pros and cons to these toothpicks. I’m no toothpick expert and other than purchasing toothpicks from the grocery store I have no other experience.The pros are large quantity for the money. The little containers are convenient. Toothpicks work well and are strong.The cons are about 10% of toothpicks are ill-formed being flat or without a pointed end. The bamboo is kind of fibrous making them difficult to break in half. While convent the containers are plastic and will end up in the dump; so if your environmentally conscious might not want these.All in all, I liked this purchase. Delivered quickly. And I plan to purchase toothpicks not in containers next time and reuse these containers as many times as I can.These toothpicks are awesome. 10/10 would buy again. I like to use a toothpick after a meal since I often get food stuck between my teeth. This often leads to broken toothpicks because most toothpicks are pretty poorly constructed. Many toothpicks are also not thin enough at the point to really get in there. These toothpicks however are everything I could ever ask for. The bamboo construction is very strong and almost never breaks even with very thin tips. I tend to also have an oral fixation and these toothpicks stand up to even some chewing. When I run out in the future, I will be coming back to buy again.
