"I loved the colorful picks, but found that I had to reinforce each pick with tape as the glue that was used did not adhere the head to the pick. If you know that ahead of time, just used tape or re-glue each head to the cardboard mouth insert. I bought 3 boxes of these and all had to be repaired before I could use them. They were used for a Chinese New year luncheon and once repaired, they looked great."
