101 Uses of the Toothpick

Okay, so maybe it won't be 101... but I'll sure have fun writing it up anyway!

  1. Propping open sleepy eyelids
  2. Creating miniature logging communities
  3. Sticking into friends' food
  4. Poking whoever gets close
  5. Doling out food coloring in cake frosting
  6. Picking up samples at Whole Foods
  7. Keeping those insanely packed sub sandwiches together
  8. Flagpole for miniature flags
  9. Inserting into frosted cakes and placing plastic wrap over them... keeps the frosting on the cake and not the wrap
  10. Main staple for hor'devours
  11. Tooth-picking (now that's original!)
  12. Prop for creating cake roses
  13. Mini Shish Kabob
  14. Puncturing balloons (or any inflated object)
  15. Stirring one's coffee when all the stir sticks are gone (ouch...)
  16. "Sap Hunting" (ask me to tell you the story some time)
  17. Stick men
  18. Road perimeters for toy cars
  19. "Mining the ore from the earth myself!"
  20. "Toothpicking" a friend's yard

...And the list goes on. Any to add?
