I'm trying to source plastic toothpicks with tapered ends, and one end
angled at about135 degrees.  They're made of white flexible plastic,
approx 2 & a half inches long. The last time I found any they were
sold lose (not individually wrapped) in a clear plastic box of about
100 pick.  The name as I recall it was "Arnold's Angled Propicks", not
the similar product from BRIX.

Hi wingletang,

I have located three sources for the angled propick. However, since I
live overseas I am unable to phone for verification of this product.

Ideally, I'd like to see an enlarged photo of the product as there are
many toothpicks similar but not the 'real thing'

The product that you are looking for is indeed Armond's Angled
Toothpicks (AKA ProPick and MicroPick).  They are located on the web
at http://www.armonds.com

DISCLAIMER: I do in fact work for them, but please don't consider this
as spam or some sort of "astroturf" campaign.  I'm directly answering
a question.  Also, the Mack Blevins people are no longer authorized to
manufacture or sell these toothpicks.  The only way to get them is
either via retail (Wal-Mart, et al) or Internet (at the website given
above).

Thanks!

I just finished ordering 48 of the 100+ pick boxes from the
manufacuturer for $49.95 delivered via UPS to my door.  24 go for
$29.95 delivered.  They are the best toothpick I have ever used.  They
have the ability to clean under crown eliminating the use of those
dreadful little plastic threaders needed previously.

You can call the 800-458-7067 number and they will ship the next weekday.

Yes, you can get these little angled toothpics at
<ttps://www.armonds.com/>. They said they are available at Walmarts in
the dental hygiene section. Here is the telephone if you need it
(800-458-7067). - - J.R./Queens, New York
