Other stuff

This needs to address the history of these twigs, archaeological artifacts of their usage, etc. It only focuses on the contemporary, which is not enough. 76.66.192.49 (talk) 14:31, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The thought occurred to have the characters using chew sticks (though the audience might find it distracting). More information would be useful.
