One of the most joked about gadgets in eight years of Giz Wiz was...?

The Spork? The 2 X 4? They might be, but I think there was more talk about The Toothpick Bird!

It was Leo's Turn the Table Tuesday, Tuesday, April 3^rd 2007, Netcast 282

Eight years later, 2015, and the Toothpick Bird is still available! Here’s what catalog company Archie McPhee says about their Toothpick Bird! We all get food stuck in our teeth from time to time. It's one of life's little annoyances, and how you deal with it is what really counts and sets you apart from the crowd. There's no need to search for a boring box of toothpicks that you keep tucked away in a drawer. Press down the head of this handsome plastic bird and he will peck a pick for you! The bird stands atop a hollow base, which stores toothpicks. The toothpicks aren't included, but we're pleased to report that the bird functions perfectly and becomes even more entertaining when paired with any of our flavored toothpicks. This stylish red and black bird looks great wherever you place him - in the kitchen or in your cubicle, on a desk or a bedside table - wherever you need to have toothpicks on hand. $7, just about the same price as 8 years ago!
