The future is now

Those are toothpicks, popcorn gets stuck in every nook and cranny of your mouth, especially that flaky kernel part, and it sucks not to have a toothpick handy. This eliminates that problem.

Ohhh they just didn't look like toothpicks :P

They're actually little flosses (forgot what they're called), which are even better than toothpicks in this situation.

The bottom part is a toothpick as well.

So we're all clear: "Dibs" is a binding contract you are all now bound to.
