The blue side of the bi-color erasers is _not_ for ink, but heavier paper that requires a bit more tooth to remove graphite.

[SnarkDADmin]

They spent so much of the budget getting footage of STAEDTLER pencils and Aurora fountain pens that they had to resort to Rose Art for the crayons 😭

[timm-allen]

Right on time for another good nights rest, thank you science channel ❤️

[neoream]

Even 6 years ago. You guys were great.

Making erasers looks like such a pain. Don't they know they can just go buy some?

Marines eat at least a pack a day of crayons to get through the rigors of basic training. Crayola is their favorite.

I've always wondered how crayons and colored pencils where made now I know totally awesome right there and pens 😊

[nittojoe]

Any other Marines lookin at those crayons? 🖍 👀

[ajhb]

omg I did love that 3 in 1 highlighter contraption but wow what a waste of plastic that was

"Manually sharpens the pencil" puts the pencil in a machine to sharpen it.

Man, those Aurora pens are pricey! Then again, they are mostly hand made to perfection.

[bp]

Theres not a single crayon flavour I hate the taste of, how do they do it?

[olivial]

I looked up the fountain pens and found out about the ridiculously expensive pen market. A pen for like

[kimbratton]

Awesome stuff! I've rarely used crayons since I left school!

[brianrussell]

I wonder if John Wick watched how pencils are made.

[ninolopez]

I always watch this in discovery channel

[kevink]

Roseart? Was there ever an episode on real crayons?

[Joker-B-SYLV]

I wonder what the number of crayons used by marines at the age of 35 is… if it’s over 700 by the time they’re 10 yikes…😂

[OminusDominus]

Crayons: I used them a few times as a kid. So not entirely accurate.
Pencil: upgraded to drawing in pencil at around 6 or 7
Pen: upgraded and integrated pen and pencil, #2 Ticonderoga and Bic stick., mead RSVP, , pilot pens since I was 14,
Paint: upgraded at 27 😂 my whole artistic life was less crayon, hell, felt tip marker and permanent marker got more attention than crayons did. Including colored pencil.

[HikikomoriDev]

They need to make Crayons that you can eat like gummies or candy.
