I needed a bunch of sticks to make popsicles with. I bought the whole box. Boy was it a lot of sticks. Tasty sticks. They work great for looking in the back of kids throats AND for impressionist works. I always chew my stick to death after I eat my popsicle...there was no burning sensation, however I will sometimes poke myself with a piece of wood and I guess that kinda burns. I enjoy it. Reminds me that I'm alive and I just ate a popsicle that I made...all...by...myself.
Don't worry...if you need a lot of sticks for whatever reason...these are fine...there's better ones out there...but you clicked here cause it was a good deal. Just buy it already.
