    You know, I never actually got taught how to use toothpicks, and I don’t have spaces between my teeth that would fit a tooth pick like you’re describing, so TIL. It’s definitely not as intuitive as “burn” though.

      I’m not sure, maybe you’ve never eaten food before. But the toothpick is to attempt to clear out all the weird little bits that get stuck. It’s wasteful when they wrap them in plastic for sure, but it’s for the tiny scraps of cabbage and stringy human carcass that are annoying until you get to your toothbrush
