most any restaurant depot will have them by the pallet. lots of international supermarkets seem to carry them in my experience.

If you can't find them anywhere, there is also this crazy sh!t called mint gum. :Q

thats not the same. there's something about driving down the road listening to dispatch/dave matthews with leather hippie moccasins on while chewing a mint toothpick that is just so.. romantic.

mint gum doesnt cut it in this situation. way too commercialized.

A couple things
1, You have some seriously odd views of Romanticism, especially if key parts are those mint toothpicks you find in restaurants... but hey, whatever floats your boat;)
2, Leather moccasins are not hippie foot apparel, the footwear of the true hippie is the Birkenstock.

While the guy at the counter is getting your change and typin a bunch of stuff into the computer slowly take a bunch and throw em in your pocket. You might wanna take all you can when you first walk in too, that way they'll probably refill while you're eating. Do that everytime you go to a restaurant and you'll have yourself a nice little stash built up in your car in no time.

I believe the only way to get those is through the black market. I know a guy named Marcos here that can hook you up with a whole truckload. If anyone is interested he is also selling the Matrix Reloaded on DVD.

Here is another idea- buy a box of regular tooth pics and soak in cinnamon oil or mint oil.

ingestion of large quantities of cinnamon(oil) may not be healthy though

I guess you could try to soak the toothpics in mouthwash too.

Yeah, that's the true redneck way to do it. Kids at my elementary school did this back in the day.

Maybe you can arrange a "group buY"?

I'd be in for a couple hundred or so. 12k is waaaaay to many ;).

EDIT: Oh, and I just turned Platinum.
