I remembered you asking about them a few months back, and I really should have taken a pic with my phone for you.... Piles. I mean PILES of bags of disposable chopsticks. Imagine large pillow cases, but made of plastic, CRAMMED with individually wrapped waribashi, pillow cases stacked 3-4 feet high filled with 'em. This is where the restaurants buy their supplies, so larger packages than we would use at home. When we buy them, we get these 'fancier' ones with the decorated paper wrappers for use when we go on picnics, etc. But this is what a family with a couple of kids would buy for regular family outings.

I buy them like that at the Korean market. I'm on my second bundle now. They also come in handy if you need to grab something for stirring or poking or whatever! (Mine come in the paper sleeves in bundles of 50 or 100 I think.)
