Toothpick Case? (I am a Texan after all...)

Elvislives · May 21, 2003

Anybody know of a good toothipick case to carry a few in your bag or pocket?

Preferably something in hard plastic. I guess ABS with a screwtop would be too much to ask fer.

Gotta have 'em.

Check out TAD's life capsule. They are a tad pricey but they should do the trick. If not, what about an old boyscout waterproof match holder? I'm not sure if it would be long enough but worth a look.

I used to carry them in a plastic card business card carrier. Now I carry them in a wooden (cylindrical) toothpick holder (a little thicker than a pencil. Got it at Branson MO.

Works Fine

Try this:

Victorinox Waiter (#53891)

Large Blade
Cap Lifter with Can Opener
Screwdriver
Wire Stripper
Key Ring
Toothpick
Tweezers
Corkscrew

About ~$10 low price.

Just thought I'd suggest this as an option

wow... you actually carry toothpicks around.

No experience, but have you ever gone to the sporting goods section and seen those small, screwtop, brass, matchstick cases? I bet that would work.

maybe the little cases the flavored toothpicks come in in this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=235320&highlight=chewing+sticks
little bulky though.

Thanks Jazzman, I've been looking for an excuse to get one of those.

The wooden thing you mention Gary is what I was thinking about. My grandfather used to have one of those.

The SAK thing is a good idea, but I chew the darn things up. Gets expensive!!!

Besides one chewing and they won't go back into the slot!

Yep I carry 'em. Got to have on after every snack, meal or just to chew on. Better'n smoking (which I still do...)

Yeah those are a little bulky Pete, but I might get some to put in the container I get. Thanks!

You can get one of the wooden ones from Cracker Barrel. My wife brought me one from Branson, MO and I picked one up at a Texaco station in Texas-I think that it was in Pecos, no actually it was Toyah,TX. I keep one in my briefcase, one in my pocket and one in the truck.

I guess now I am a collector!
