Of course! One of the only things I actually did do on that project was get a box of Mr. Sketch markers and look at which ones might be usable as highlighters.

I knew they existed because I kept buying used textbooks that turned out to be covered in highlighting, but it must be a relatively niche group that does it.
It needs marketing for education for it to take off. Currently the type of people that use highlighters are the same using it because it’s effective for remembering information, but since it’s already effective something “more” effective doesn’t mean much.
What you need is to market your scentminders as a tool for new memory making and recall abilities! Lol
