Chopsticks with embedded toothpicks

Abstract

Wooden disposable chopsticks are used in many household families and in many eastern oriental restaurants. After eating a hearty meal, chopstick users look out for toothpicks to clean any excessive food particles that may have gotten stuck between their teeth. The invention is ideal for users because it eliminates the users from seeking out a separate toothpick and from the merchant from buying extra packs of toothpicks. It is also cost effective and reduces the unwanted space for the toothpick packs that the merchant would have placed.
