Consumer Needs For The Right Cinnamon Toothpicks

By Jocelyn Davidson


It is estimated that the invention of toothpicks happened in the same period as the discovery of the wheel. This makes picking one's teeth one of the oldest human habits that started many decades ago. The sticks were made using materials such as ivory, gold, silver, bone and wood. In the modern world, wood has been used to make different types of flat and round-shaped sticks which include colored toothpicks, frilled toothpicks and flavored sticks such as cinnamon toothpicks among others.

These sticks have been conventionally used to pick one's teeth and to make garments in craft projects. However, modern flavored toothpicks have also been used as mouth fresheners to help wade off bad breath and keep your mouth always smelling fresh. It also feels good to have a flavored stick in your mouth than a plain one.

The flavored sticks are made from different types of substances for example bacon, mint, orange, lemon and cinnamon among others. If you are an addict of biting your nails from time to time, you are advised to be taking the sticks. This form of habit inhibits the finger nails from growing and developing in the best way. Moreover, people who are fond of taking candies and gums after eating meals are also advised to make the sticks included in the desserts.

In the recent world many people who have been slaves of cigarette smoking for a long time use the sticks as a substitute. Once they get the cravings, they use the sticks to prevent the damage of the lungs after long times of smoking. Scientific research has it that once a cigarette smoker places the stick on the mouth, it manipulates the mind, and this leads to relieving the cigarette cravings.

The flavored sticks are readily available in most shopping outlets in different pack sizes. Most of the packs contain five to fifteen sticks, but there also other large packs which are commonly bought by people who want to reduce the cravings to certain oral habits. Unlike the plain sticks, flavored sticks can be more expensive due to the added flavor.

You can also make cinnamon-oiled sticks at home after buying the necessary raw materials such as cinnamon oil from certified food stores, flat or round wooden toothpicks and a clean glass jar. Pour one or two ounces of flavored cinnamon oil into a glass jar, dip your sticks into the oil, close the lid and soak them overnight.

The following day in the morning, remove the sticks from the jar, put them on a flat surface and let them dry off completely. After some few hours of drying, you can then put them in your pack. You can also dry the sticks by preheating your microwave to at least 250 Fahrenheit, then place the sticks on a cookie sheet and put them in the microwave. After five to ten minutes, your flavored sticks should be dry. You can then remove and let them cool off before using any stick.

If there is any oil remaining, you can use it to make more flavored sticks in the future. It is recommended that you buy the oil and sticks from shopping outlets that are registered and certified by relevant authorities. You should also conduct research to establish if there are any health effects of using certain flavoring products to avoid complication of your health.
