Default Where can you buy flat toothpicks?

Agree, sometimes they're in with the baking items - but they never
seem to be where you expect to see them because it seems like every
chain has a different idea about where to put them and I don't buy
them often enough to memorize who puts them where.

I don't know WHAT I was thinking, I looked for them by the
tooth care stuff.

Heh - silly you! I normally use them as "testers", but when I use
them up fast - they're for hors d'oeuvres. You would be able to knock
me over with a feather if I ever saw them in with the real tooth care
products.

Like packets of yeast they're typically in sevral locations in the
store; by the party items, paper plates, olives, etc., but you won't
find wooden toothpics by the dental products, wooden toothpics are
abrasive so will remove tooth enamel... you will find toothpics in the
dental care department made of safe plastic material. Quality flat
wooden toothpics will shortley become more difficult to locate; the
world's largest wooden toothpic maker, Forster of Maine, closed its
plant early this year... those toothpics are now made in China.
