Telescoping Toothpicks

 Like a radio antenna that you stick in your mouth.

Finely crafted toothpicks that extend telescopically when you grasp the tip and pull, so you can reach hard-to-access areas between your teeth. Alternatively, use the toothpick as a baton to point out details of your napkin scribbles.

       Better if they were spring loaded.   

       WARNING: extend before placing in mouth - unless you want to pick your teeth while they're in your lap.

       Edit: Category changed. [po], my teeth are 10 cm long on average.

       Useful when you just don't have the space to fit a standard toothpick.
