Just curious if anyone knows! It’s for a project

So I'm really into flavoured toothpicks and have a few brands already, buuuuut, I wanna make my own too. Everywhere I see says to use oils, like essential oils, but I'm wondering can it be done with food flavourings?

Please inform me if you know such grocery store. I have tried unsuccesfully to find a grocery store that sells toothpicks not made in China. I don't want to buy them or any product that could affect my health&safety; as it would any thinking & informed Canadian citizen would want to avoid buying any product made in oppressive and or populous countries because they tend to have lower health & safety standards and very hard to whistle-blow against because of high censorship; so riskier but undercover

I'm trying to make my own bourbon toothpicks, similar to the ones Daneson make. The problem is the tiny 2.5 inch toothpicks that everyone sells aren't thick enough to really soak up and hold onto the flavor.

Has anyone tried maying flavored toothpicks before? And if so, what toothpicks did you use?

Asked b/c Amazon has "Tea Tree Therapy - Tea Tree & Menthol Toothpicks (100 count)" with crazy low prices. One pack of 100 sticks is $5.75, a 6 pack (600 toothpicks) costs $28.19 BUT, a 12 pack (=1200 sharp, delicious and "healthy mouth" picks) for less than the 600. It's $26.58, no shipping, no tax. That's even nice to make art from - it'll add a layer of delightful scent to whatever you are doing (when you are not masochistically making absolutely certain that very possible space between any two teeth has been groped, poked and maybe even bloodied in the process). Mmmmm.
