Lemme wiggle into this thread. Yo! OP! Adapt!

As a former flat toothpick freak and longtime convert to round, I can
tell ya', go with whatchyagot. I also was a HUGE flat freak. Moved
to CO, nary a flat pick in sight. I bought some rounds. Gnaw on 'em
fer awhile to wet 'em up, then when they are soft, split off the tip.
IOW, peel off a bit and see if the grain is long or short. If short,
toss it. If long, go with it. I've got rounds that get between the
tightestest of tooth spaces. Plus, have found rounds typically use
better wood. I'll get a good point going, then snip it off flat with
scissors. Now have a flat scrapping surface 2nd to none. Bottom TP
line, give round a chance.

Betchya ppl didn't know toothpicks were so involved.
