Scumbag parents: Sniff these markers. Not these markers.

Dingissimus · 1 year

Had an art teacher in 6th grade who made sure to inform us that the best way to tell if a sharpie was still good was to inhale deeply for 4-6 seconds. He then proceeded to demonstrate.

He would also often leave class and we would see him walk out to the parking lot and sit in his car for a while.

Those exact markers caused a life-long aversion to artificial cherry for me. I can't smell fake cherry now without getting seriously nauseous.

You start by sniffing one marker, it's great at first, but soon it isn't enough. You move on and start mixing smells. Eventually you try and smell them all at once. You've hit rock bottom.

I recently bought Covergirl Outlast Lipstain, and I swear it smells exactly like these and looks like a marker. I couldn't remember the brand name for Mr. Sketch, so when I was trying to describe them to my husband as "you remember those markers in grade school that smelled of stuff so we all sniffed them and my mom wasn't cool enough to buy me my own?", he looked at me like I have two heads.

I just picked up a bag of weed that smells like the orange marker. Fuck yeah.

bigsol81 · 1 year

These were shitty markers. This was a requirement because they had to be non-toxic if they were going to smell like food and be available to kids. The "ink" in them was essentially just food coloring. It did a good job of staining paper for coloring, but you couldn't draw on any other surface, and even some types of paper repelled them.

chazwhiz · 1 year

Take a look at the box. Each color has its related fruit on the box. Except for brown. Brown is supposed to smell like a bear?! WTF?

BPKilla · 1 year

It started off innocent enough. I began to notice the semi-sweet smells of delicious nectar that would sweep through my nostrils and into my olfactory system, only to give me a slight rouse. Desperately, I tried to keep it together, but I was too weak. People began asking questions such as, "What is wrong with your nose?" and, "Dude, are you ok?" The thing is. I was fine. I WAS OKAY.

The orange one was by far the best. It smelled exactly how orange tic tacs taste (when they were still orange, that is).

This leads to laffy taffy, which leads to jolly ranchers, which leads to fruity cocktails. True Story.

I have some markers/highlighters that look like these but aren't :( Everybody always takes them out of my bag and uncaps each one looking for a "smelly marker" as they seem to be universally called.

Mine was my sisters Strawberry Shortcake figures... I couldn't stop fucking sniffing them. The manufactuerer of those toys are heartless bastards.

No way. My gateway drug was holding on to the support poles in my basement and spinning around them until I fell over from being so dizzy. Used to do this at parties all the time when I was young. I might be retarded.

dudley-von-red-pants · 1 year

I was very young when I was exposed to these. I didn't understand that the markers clearly said whether they were scented or not, but very young me did not understand that and would go around sniffing similar looking markers hoping they'd be scented. Only one ever was.
