What do you use yours for?

I have never owned a cocktail stick.

I fixed a small coffee grinder with one. The plastic lid had an integrated tab that pressed down on a recessed button to turn the grinder on. The plastic tab eventually got fatigued and broke off, so I cut a saw kerf into the side of the lid and pressed a toothpick into the kerf. Now the toothpick pushes the recessed button and the grinder works perfectly. This fix was done about 15 years ago, and the grinder is still going strong.

On our second date my boyfriend used a few to fix my bathroom door. It was then I decided he was a keeper.

This.


I seem to recall there being a little tub of them in the cupboard when I was a kid. For baking and stuff. But mainly we used them for eating pomegranate seeds.

I have never had any as a grownup.
