Yeaha. They appear to fulfill requirements perfectly, ta.

plastic bags, or thin polythene, is remarkably effective

Tepe brushes are what you want. When you buy a pack they come with a handy little cover. You can slot the brush with cover in your wallet. Perfect.


Did I really type that - glad it's Friday

• plastic coated wire to avoid damage to teeth and dental work
• 8 different colour coded sizes
• The handle has been ergonomically designed to be comfortable to use
• A travel cap is included in each pack, which protects the brush when not in use and can also be used to extend the length of the handle

Yes, personal hygiene is such a dull topic. Let's talk about IPODs instead.

I became so irritated by the constant high pitched ‘chigger-chigger-chigger’ sound of people listening to i-pods on the train that I have bought an i-pod to drown out the noise.

If you can use an i-pod as a tooth pick, you really need to visit the dentist.

Didn't restaurants use to have toothpicks? I can't remember last time I saw this, and it's annoying. Is it a health and safety thing to stop us stabbing when we get atrocious service?

Bodean's BBQ in London's fashionable Soho district has toothpicks.

I use folded paper in emergencies too, and this work well, but the paper goes soggy quickly. I think it's small gaps that are the trouble spots though rather than the large gaps.

Floss might be better.

i have one troublesome gap in my teeth and it's driving me nuts. it also drives my wife nuts that i use little folded up bits of paper as toothpicks. all our magazines etc have little corners ripped off them.

Metal?

No, plastic; it slots into the side of the handle.

Swiss army knives have a good toothpick.

I seem to get meat stuck between my teeth quite a lot these days, so I have wooden tooth picks on standby, which are rubbish. Obviously I wouldn't want to use something harder than teeth for picking, but the wood ones are carp. The ends are overly sharp and go blunt quickly and the pick snaps easily. They are also a wit wide. Better would be a blunter thinner and softer plastic pick that last for a entire picking session surely?
