Heck, M&Ms are coated in bug poop anyway…and by the way, whoever it was (can’t remember) who came up with that little gem…I haven’t enjoyed an M&M since. (Didn’t say I wasn’t eating them, just not enjoying them as much.)

Trying to be helpful but, you know…

Design Challenge: Chopsticks

Most of the food-safe finishes aren’t terribly durable. The classics are soft oils like mineral oil and shellac, which is bug poop mixed with booze. That may sound bad but don’t worry, Hershey’s uses it on Milk Duds. Most of the scary-sounding finishes are food safe when completely cured, though. I would look at lacquers for the strength and hardness you want. But my wood finishing knowledge is pretty rusty, so please do your own research to confirm or disprove.

Those are lentils. With stars.
