Ideally, "Hot Toothpicks" will cause your victims to double over in agony as figurative fire slams their tongues. This set, having been made so long ago, seems to have lost its innate burning abilities. I detected a minute trace of cinnamon, but for the most part, they're just regular toothpicks. I'd still prefer to pick pepper out of my teeth with these, since none of my other toothpicks come in packages featuring Satan doing what I'm gunning to do.
I've had fresh batches of the things before, and they're rarely "hot." Actually, there aren't even all that bad -- you'll end up chewing 'em as if they were candy. I doubt many pranksters have had the opportunity to point at their foils and shout "DAMN YEAH I GOT YOU," but what do I know? Maybe there's a handful of people on the planet who really would be incredibly offended by a vaguely cinnamonny toothpick. I suspect these folks would also be plum crazy. >>> Close Window
