Question 1

My husband always has a toothpick in his mouth.  The ones we have are splitting in his mouth.  Do these split if chewed on for a while?

Accepted Answer

They are great toothpicks, but they will split after several minutes of chewing.

Question 2

Are these toothpicks made in the usa, or china?

Accepted Answer

Made in Israel. It says right on its package. Also, most of the comments/ratings here list as "made in Israel" too as it's printed on the containers of the toothpicks. does that automatically mean it's Kosher? I'm unsure they are *Kosher* or not because I no longer have the dang bottle or toothpicks Wow, this product is more complicated than I could ever imagine. I'd and will consult my local Rabbi for the truer meaning and if indeed this product has no pork in it nor any other forbidding ang/or disqualifying ingredients to and especially says it but I'm skeptical becausr it's

Question 3

Where are these made,exactly? Please.

Accepted Answer

I just received my fourth order of these toothpicks, and they are marked "Made in PRC". In other words, they are now made in China.

The first three orders all were made in Israel. Over time, each order of the Israeli toothpicks seemed to be of poorer quality - frequently thin, and easily broken in half while in use, and the tips would break easily. (But still drastically better than the toothpicks you'd buy at the local supermarket.)

When I noticed the change  from Israel to China, I tried a couple (admittedly not a large sample!) and they reminded me of the original quality from the first Israeli toothpicks.  When I start using them regularly (I haven't used all the last order yet) I'll post a review if there's an issue.

By the way it's easy to tell the difference between the old and new product - the old toothpicks had a red wrapping, while the Chinese toothpicks are in blue.

Question 4

Where are these made in 2021 china?

Accepted Answer

Good point.

I looked at the container itself and it said product of PRC so People's Republic of China seems so. Made in 2021-I don't know.
