And I definitely didn’t accidentally step on any crayons in the process.

    Fun fact: if you want something to taste delicious, you go for blue. Blue food doesn’t exist in nature, so it is designed to taste delicious.

    So #5.

        I thought so too, until I saw the truth.

        A waxy covering coats some blue-colored fruits — such as blueberries, dark grapes and certain plums. This wax contains a host of tiny structures, each less than a thousandth the thickness of a piece of paper. Such nanostructures scatter blue and ultraviolet (UV) light. To our eyes, that makes these fruits look blue. Birds — which can see UV light — probably see such delicious snacks as bluey-UV.

        But if you rub off the outer layer of wax, a blueberry no longer looks blue — or red. Instead, it’s completely dark, Rox Middleton says. Middleton is a physicist who works at the University of Bristol in England and at Dresden University of Technology in Germany. Structures in the fruits’ waxy outer layers create blue hues that are faux, her team now shows.

        Sadly, when you blend blueberries in a smoothie it turns your smoothie purple.

    My dumb ass was searching for the one that’ll have the longest lifespan and I kept thinking how would he know beforehand.

    #1 since it’s the shortest and the meme clearly says that I’m restricted to one crayon until mine runs out

    I’d be fine with any of the Crayola ones except #7.

    #7 can be used for drawing on Easter eggs before you dye them, but that’s a once a year for three minutes kinda deal, definitely not committing to “until it runs out” for that one.

    Any crayons that aren’t Crayola are straight trash. Miss me with that Rose Art and restaurant kids menu crayon crap.

      Wait until you realize that number 8 is actually teal blue! Gotcha!

      The lesson here is not to peel off the labels.

    isn’t 8 one of those old dock worker crayons from the early 1900s that was toxic? why’d you give your toddler that?

      So that the toddler can enter the workforce and start pulling itself up by the bootstraps as soon as possible. The lithium mines need more bodies.

      Can you provide more detail about it? Or links to articles. I have problem finding details as I don’t know what to search for.

        okay looking for stuff to verify this was not only unreasonably difficult, but when I found this I get to thinking I might’ve been thinking of grease pencils this whole time. Also I did find something about crayons made before 1970 having lead, but what DIDN"T have lead back then?
