# Dipped Dual Flavored Toothpicks Castor Toothpicks Come in Unusual Combos Like Kumquat & Beet By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-05-27 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toothpicks References: [castor.me](http://www.castor.me) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phoodstation/castor-the-double-flavored-gourmet-toothpick) Toothpicks probably aren't something you spend a lot of time thinking about—they're cheap and they remove food from your teeth and it's about as simple as that. However, Castor is changing the toothpick experience with its 'Double Flavored Gourmet Toothpick,' that delivers not one, but [two hits of flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tic-tac-two) in the process. The stick part of Castor toothpicks provide a long-lasting, aromatic flavor, while the colorful, dipped powdered tips really pack an initial punch. Some of the flavors are unusual, but highly interesting combinations like [Raspberry & Wasabi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fireworks-toothpaste), Marshmallow & Smoke and Sake & Blueberry. However, if there's one thing from the old toothpick experience that remains, it's the price of the Castor toothpicks, which remain just as reasonable as ever. Adventurous taste-testers can try out some of these wild toothpick flavors by supporting [Castor's Kickstarter campaign](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phoodstation/castor-the-double-flavored-gourmet-toothpick). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dual Flavored Food Products:** There's an opportunity for further exploration of dual flavored food products, beyond toothpicks. - **Unconventional Flavor Combinations:** Creative flavor pairings can be a disruptive innovation for food and beverage companies. - **Everyday Objects as Gourmet Products:** There is space for creating gourmet versions of everyday objects to appeal to novelty-seeking customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on creating unique flavor combinations in various products. - **Consumer Packaged Goods:** Consumer packaged goods companies can explore creating premium versions of everyday products, like toothpicks. - **Novelty Gift Market:** The novelty gift market can benefit from carrying unique and flavorful products, like Castor's toothpicks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pickle-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-flavored-toothpaste.md) - [Dill Pickle Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boka-x-grillos.md) - [Condiment-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toothpaste-sachets.md) - [Dual-Flavor Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-kiwi-mix-toothpaste.md) - [Wasabi-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasabi-flavored-toothpaste.md) - [Pistachio-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-papi-toothpaste.md) - [Salty-Sweet Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-pretzel-toothpaste.md) - [Divisive Liquorice Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquorice-toothpaste.md) - [Multifunctional Toothpick Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acepick.md)
