Chopsticks Come With Their Own Rest For Good Hygiene
This isn’t true of all chopsticks, so double-check to see if yours contain this handy feature. If your disposable chopsticks have a guideline around the base, do as the Japanese do and snap the end off.
When you’re not using the chopsticks, place them on the block. You won’t take up any germs or bacteria from the table if you do this.
It Works with Japanese toothpicks Too
The design of Japanese toothpicks is similar to that of chopsticks. Snap the end off to make a small block for them to rest on. When you’re munching on olives and other nibbles, this is a terrific idea.
