Efficient Design

Today many companies are producing products that are more efficient and convenient for their customers. An example of one of the products that surprise me was the Flossup took picks. The idea of putting floss and toothpick together had never crossed my mind. The designer of these flossups is really creative to come up with that idea. The problem with floss is that it’s hard to floss the back teeth using your hands to hold on the string of floss. To make it more efficient and convenient floss was installed into the toothpick. So after picking your teeth, you can easily use the toothpick side as a handle to floss your teeth and can even get in hard to reach areas of the teeth. 


The idea of using plastic as the toothpick is a great idea, because wooden toothpicks can break in between teeth and it would take another toothpick to get that piece out. For as plastic, it only twist and bends, also the plastic holds on more to the floss that was installed than wood. If the floss were to be installed into wood, the wood could easily break off and it would be a waste of the floss if you’re not fully done flossing your teeth with it. By using plastic, the floss and plastic toothpick can melt together and make a stronger hold than wood and a string of floss. This idea is very unique and well innovated that now more people prefer Flossups over wooden toothpicks or single string floss holding by hand.
