Picks of wood, bone, or soft metal have been used for many centuries, probably by the first intelligent primates including Neanderthals. Decorative picks of bronze, silver, and ceramics have been found in the cultures of China, Egypt, and later Rome. They were artistically crafted in Europe beginning in the 1600's.
The first machine to mass-produce wooden toothpicks was invented by a man named Charles Forster in 1869.
