Man, I still get excited around a box of crayons.
This was a great post, thanks for sharing.
Not a single mention of the great wax flavor? Pff missed opportunity
Gotta ask the marine corps. /s
On National Crayon Day in 2018, the Marine Corps posted a video to Facebook showing a Marine opening an MRE—ostensibly a gift from the Army—and finding crayons inside
Others to commercialize the trope include: veteran Tashina Coronel, who as of August 2020 was selling edible crayons and glue through her confectionery business
The company was founded by Edwin Binney and Harold Smith, who met during their shared time as U.S Marines
Is this where the trope started?!
At the very least, that is an absolutely hilarious coincidence!
