 A nod to nostalgia with a capital "N" - yay! March 7, 2006
53 out of 61 found this review helpful
Not only do these bring back memories but as I've gotten older, I've realized that they not only have that great cinnamon taste but that they are actually useful (after all, they are toothpicks). Not only are they great for a last minute touch up before going out in public, getting stubborn pieces of food from between the teeth, but they sweeten the breath. They are far above the average, run of the mill toothpick.
Back in high school, they were used by some of my friends as "weight loss aids" (spicy but with no calories). Also, there was the added allure of mild risk, courting the disapproval of adults (they were actually banned in my school, probably by fearful administators who had visions of kids falling while running and getting injured by the sharp points). Parents cautioned us not to "Drive with one of those in your mouth" . They were right but we did, anyway...hey, we were teens.
But I digress....this is one time when taking a trip down memory lane is worth the price.
Banned in Junior High March 3, 2006

I used to buy the bottle of cinnamon oil and soak toothpicks and paper in it, then sell them in junior high, I always had one in my mouth, the hotter the better. I always wondered what it did to my digestive track! After becoming wise to my little business, i was banned from selling these when a student who bought a bunch stabbed himself in the cheek, thanks alot dork i could have bought that Casio Keyboard I always wanted from the profits.
A HOT ITEM FOR VALENTINE's DAY 2006 ! February 14, 2006

This is obviously a red-hot item & will definitely decorate the page appropriately for February 14th. If your recipient doesn't like their OUTSTANDING FLAVOR, there is always the option of passing them along, as in the HOT POTATO GAME. Reviewer mcHAIKU recommends a trial run of such a hot item, but says they do wonders for one's breath!
 Old School Style is better February 7, 2006

It's funny that I click on a link to this item from the homepage and it's "currently unavailable" Whatever. Old-school style is better. Go to the drugstore, get a bottle of cinnamon oil (yes, they still make it) and throw some toothpicks into it. Leave it a few weeks (minimum) and voila! I have a bottle with toothpicks that have been there 10 years! Talk about saturated!
I haven't tried this product, but I think the idea of going back to your Jr. High School days is better done the old style. And I don't see cinnamon paper anywhere... ;)

this must be some kind of nostalgia trip for people. I love cinnamon, but these things have hardly any taste....gum is a lot better!
