Abstract

An edible toothpick is made from a mint or menthol substance which can be eaten after use. The toothpick has a rounded end with a hole in the middle, the toothpick tapering to a point.

Description

DESCRIPTION
The Edible Menthol Toothpick The Edible Menthol Toothpick is a toothpick that not only removes unwanted leftovers from your teeth, but also leaves your breath mint fresh.
It has the same properties as a usual wooden or plastic toothpick, but combines it with the after dinner mint. Our design has a rounded end with a hole, to make it simple to hold, before gradually tapering to a point, which makes those hard to reach places reachable! And because it is all made of mint, you can eat it all afterwards. It will be available in sugar free as well as original.
As shown in the drawings, the dimensions of the toothpick are 10mm x 40mm.
The packaging is pocket sized, containing a number of toothpicks, and also biodegradable and recycled. 2.

Claims (1)

  1. CLAIM
    The Edible Menthol Toothpick The Edible Menthol Toothpick differs from normal toothpicks, because it is completely made of mint/menthol substance, and so is completely edible, and therefore leaves no waste to harm our environment. As does the packaging, which is biodegradable and recycled. The toothpick has a rounded handle', so it's easy to hold. It not only cleans your teeth after a meal, but leaves you with fresh mint breath as well.
    It will encourage children to keep their teeth clean whilst getting a treat, unlike chocolate and sweets that can have negative effects.
    There are no negative or harmful effects due to short term or prolonged use of The Edible Menthol Toothpick, as it will be available in sugar free as well as original.
