What is this Interesting Item?

While visiting my parents I ran across an interesting item that brought back some memories.

The item has some advertising on it. I couldn’t get it into one picture so I had to take two pictures.

Here is how this works. You screw the top off, and then fill the chamber with toothpicks.

When you press down on the upper part dispenses a toothpick through the hole in the top.

I remember having this on the table, especially for big dinners like Thanksgiving and other holidays.

Have you ever seen one of these toothpick dispensers?

This Week on Oak Island?

This week I don’t know what happened. I am traveling so am unable to watch this week. I will watch it when I get home this weekend and may give my two cents then.

I do know that this week they plan to share Muon Scan data so it should be interesting.

For now, back to time with family, including my little great niece.
