Yay!

Now one can get prechewed pencils to go with one's preholed pants. Now one just need some prestained shirts, a pair of preskidmarked underwear, and a pair of preworn out shoes.

Meh.

Where's the chewed-up metal eraser holder, with eraser bits trapped inside?

Whenever I have to do some writing I end up sitting there chewing on a pencil for half an hour before much of anything gets written down.

Just think of the time saved.

The manufacture of this product has some creepy implications.

Can you imagine the internet job posting for professional pencil chewer? Or do you think they found a chewer by word-of-mouth?

Our wiener dog Basil concurs, DCulberson. He notes that the chewing is shallow and lacks the delicate fraying associated with fine, domestic chewing. "Probably still writes", he grumbled, mockingly.

But nobody will steal one from you, and that's a consideration.

How much wood would a wood chewer chew if a wood chewer could chew wood?

Apparently, 4 for £1.50.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

Wow - this is both hilarious and absolutely awesome!

And people say you can't invent new things because everything is already out there! Haha.
