Speaker 6: Yes, it has chowder and a rich history of politicians
Speaker 6: coming in for a bite to eat, but the Union
Speaker 6: Oyster House also popularized something we all use from time

Speaker 4: Once the Oyster House started giving out toothpicks and became common.
Speaker 6: Practice, Manager Wes Hagen tells me the toothpick was first
Speaker 6: used in the United States at the Union Oyster House
Speaker 6: around eighteen ninety thanks to a curious man from May.
Speaker 4: Charles Foster, who's from Charlestown in Maine, and he noticed
Speaker 4: down in Brazil that a lot of the people that
Speaker 4: live down there had very clean teeth.
Speaker 6: When Foster came back to Maine, he opened up a
Speaker 6: factory mass producing toothpicks, but no one was buying. So
Speaker 6: he came up with a plan.
Speaker 4: The hired Harvard students and he said, I'll pay for
Speaker 4: your lunch, I'll pay for your dinner if you come
Speaker 4: into the Oyster House and you make a fuss at
Speaker 4: the end of the meal though you don't give out toothpicks.
Speaker 4: What kind of establishment is this?
Speaker 6: And it worked. About a week later, Foster came in
Speaker 6: and sold his toothpicks, introducing America to the little wooden
Speaker 6: toothpickers in Boston. I'm Afridman, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
