Flower Fancy Flourish
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Though I'm not exactly designed to
Still I'm sometimes used
To make numbers,
shapes,
and letters.
Frequently I come in fancy flowery flourish,
Used by men, women, citizens, and tourists.
I do bend
I do break
Yucky stuff I'm willing to take.
What am I?
HintThis hint is all you need,
I come in a box with hundreds like me.

Answer
A toothpick!
It's used, though not purposefully, to make the forms of numbers, shapes, and letters. It's commonly used to poke and pick up foods so people can eat, or to actually pick out all the yucky stuff in their teeth. Sometimes they have that fancy colored plastic decoration for parties and such, and they are used by all kinds of people.

| I am sorry, but I don't see the connection with a Toothpick and a Tourist or the Flower, floral idea. It's a Teaser. A good Riddle format. |

| Well, the tourist was just to emphasize that anyone can use it, and to rhyme. The fancy flourish is the nice little colorful plastic stuff that make toothpicks all pretty and appropriate for parties. |
