8. Toothpicks

The best places to buy are specialty shops and Amazon. The 100-count pack* of Tea Tree Therapy costs, on average, $5.27. Although toothpicks appear to be a simple object, have you ever observed that some of them have grooves on the end? Japanese toothpicks, also known as grooved toothpicks, are rather uncommon and are typically packaged individually.

Toothpicks on Pinterest/HotDeals Unlike flat toothpicks, these grooved toothpicks feature a grooved top for hygienic reasons. Its grooved top can be snapped off and used as a stand because the grooves are weak spots. The remaining toothpick will be held aloft by the stand, keeping it off the table. Neither the pick nor the table will make contact with each other if they are both unclean. Japanese culture places a high value on hygiene; therefore, it makes sense that they invented the toothpick with the grooves.
