I really like the birch toothpicks, rounded at one end. They give just the right amount of rigidity whilst still giving the flexibility of reaching difficult areas.
Mr. P, I once got a sliver from a cheapy toothpick. No fun. I keep a stash of these gizmos handy now. They have a sharp end and a brush end. Cheap too.
I know this sounds strange but my grandfather used to carry around the ivory bone that came from a raccoon's penis to use as a toothpick. Apparently this was quite popular in the 1940's.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice.

Hey Jim,
I got a very special bridge in Brooklyn I will sell you really cheap. Send PM if interested.
Well I suppose that if we are going to get all fussy about our toothpicks, we should at least be equally fussy about what we should be using to hold them
