A friend gave me a gift of the box of 1000 toothpicks and the holder. I enjoyed them so much that I have continued to order them over the past year or more. The response time has been excellent, attention to customer concerns and questions are quick and courteous; and the product is excellent. I was using Whole Foods cinnamon toothpicks until I used these, and now I am spoiled and wouldn't be caught without a Ceylon real cinnamon toothpick.
