Try using real Cinnamon Toothpicks made of cinamon wood. The Cinnamon Toothpicks that we buy in the US is actually made of Cassia oil.

Cassia has a chemical called coumarin which could be toxic. Please click the below link to read more.

I was born in 1980, like Scrivs I believe and what was more 80’s than Cocaine? In France/Monaco, you could get these little red pots emblazoned with the word “Coca”, inside was a white powder sherbet that was so strong that it took your head off, giving you a 1 minute high. I have (understandably) tried to track down this substance since and have been told that it is no longer sold. As soon as I find any I’m going to buy a case, cut half of it with speed and resell it.

Hi Hart! Thanks for commenting. Cool url, too, thanks. I love the Willy Wonka stuff too…I was obsessed with the book when I was a kid and wished the candy in it was real. Pop rocks rule! When we were kids and our friends would fall asleep, we\’d put some in their ears and up their nose and stuff.

I was a product of the ’60s so in the 70’s 80’s 90’s and even today in the 00’s I am still a huge Willy Wonka fan…

I forgot about the sore jaw thing! That\’s right…we all got that because we would try to cram the whole pack in at once. That\’s it, I\’m getting some today.

By the way…look at how the blog menu is growing. Exciting!
