This is one stationery that takes a complete different life than its original design. The twist crayon is designed with a twist up barrel — it works exactly like a lipstick to prevent your hands from getting messy. It’s designed for little kids, but in Taiwan, students love using them as highlighters. Typical highlighters take time to dry, but crayons don’t. They are inexpensive, and they come with a wider range of colors. More importantly, they are long and the weight is well balanced — which is great for pen spinning. Next time when you are here, ask Neil to show you a few pen spinning tricks. Or if your friend recognizes these crayons, there’s a good chance they know a few good spinning tricks too : )
