    They aren’t actually plastic though… They’re made of starch, as a biodegradable alternative to plastic.

    Essentially, they’re Cheetos

        Cheetos are mostly air, theres a lot more surface area for microbes. Thoothpicks need to be dense to be strong enough to function. I wouldn’t put my money on that.
