Why did they stop making Q-Tips with wood sticks?
Yes, they’re still making wooden Q-Tips, but they’re practically impossible to find. Other than the occasional Ebay-er, the only official source – according to the makers of Q-Tips, Chesebrough-Pond’s USA – is Drugstore*dot*com. And they’re expensive: more than $4.00 per box of 125. And the reason for their scarcity is that they’re not well liked by environmentalists. They disapprove of the cellophane wrapper around the box, not the wooden shaft.
