And I definitely didn't accidentally step on any crayons in the process.

Red and green is the way to go. You're great at christmas, you can draw 2/3rds of the bell peppers, and (I presume) you get a discount on baby back, baby back ribs.

[–] Kingofthezyx@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Um. 2/3 of the bell peppers? There are yellow, orange, purple, and white bell peppers too. Do your bell pepper research. Amateur.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i'm actually curious what they think the third color is, cause, at least where i am, grocery stores almost always have green, red, yellow, and orange.

True, but it's a restaurant crayon, so it's a little scratchy.

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Also seems the most useful cause you get two colors for the price of one.

Number 6 always felt like a betrayal when you realized it wasn’t black.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Wait until you realize that number 8 is actually teal blue! Gotcha!

The lesson here is not to peel off the labels.

I can’t only have one colour. I can have #4 and have two. 🤓

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fun fact: if you want something to taste delicious, you go for blue. Blue food doesn't exist in nature, so it is designed to taste delicious.

So #5.

I thought so too, until I saw the truth.

A waxy covering coats some blue-colored fruits — such as blueberries, dark grapes and certain plums. This wax contains a host of tiny structures, each less than a thousandth the thickness of a piece of paper. Such nanostructures scatter blue and ultraviolet (UV) light. To our eyes, that makes these fruits look blue. Birds — which can see UV light — probably see such delicious snacks as bluey-UV.

But if you rub off the outer layer of wax, a blueberry no longer looks blue — or red. Instead, it’s completely dark, Rox Middleton says. Middleton is a physicist who works at the University of Bristol in England and at Dresden University of Technology in Germany. Structures in the fruits’ waxy outer layers create blue hues that are faux, her team now shows.

Sadly, when you blend blueberries in a smoothie it turns your smoothie purple.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Fun fact in French their names have nothing to do with blue

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I gotta go with 8. For reasons.

[–] RagnvaldG@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

We all know the reasons you chose the BBC.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

...big black crayon...

Take your fucking upvote and get out

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

They're very reputable. Sometimes biased to one side, but most are to one direction or another, at least a bit. Works just fine though.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Going to come back later and argue with anyone who chooses 7

[–] los_chill@programming.dev 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

White crayon is a secret weapon when doing watercolor. Lets you mask areas you want to leave without paint. So that's my choice.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Oh neato! I thought that one was for when you had black paper. I do remember using plain wax crayons on easter eggs though.

Colouring outside the lines with this one, but I ain't mad at it

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Why do you hate colored construction paper?

I choose seven baybeeeeee

Because that shit is for

PAPER AIRPLANES

[–] tuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

#1 since it's the shortest and the meme clearly says that I'm restricted to one crayon until mine runs out

That mother fucker is metallic af

[–] Battle_Masker@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

isn't 8 one of those old dock worker crayons from the early 1900s that was toxic? why'd you give your toddler that?

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

So that the toddler can enter the workforce and start pulling itself up by the bootstraps as soon as possible. The lithium mines need more bodies.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you provide more detail about it? Or links to articles. I have problem finding details as I don't know what to search for.

[–] Battle_Masker@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

okay looking for stuff to verify this was not only unreasonably difficult, but when I found this I get to thinking I might've been thinking of grease pencils this whole time. Also I did find something about crayons made before 1970 having lead, but what DIDN"T have lead back then?

They also make their toddler drink exclusively from a garden hose.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The big black one

[–] kalithorn@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Same. Purple is a great color (grape flavored) and it's one of the smallest so I'll be done sooner

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

#3

Can’t beat confetti

I'd be fine with any of the Crayola ones except #7.

#7 can be used for drawing on Easter eggs before you dye them, but that's a once a year for three minutes kinda deal, definitely not committing to "until it runs out" for that one.

Any crayons that aren't Crayola are straight trash. Miss me with that Rose Art and restaurant kids menu crayon crap.

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 week ago

easy 4, two different colors AND they're two of the best ones.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm gonna take them all what are you going to do about it

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

But they haven’t had a chance to taste the rest of them yet

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What color is 8? I'm thinking that one. The other blue looks kinda waxy.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's actually a teal blue! Tricky, right? And I believe it's a Crayola.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Nice, I knew my choice was going to pay off!

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

My dumb ass was searching for the one that’ll have the longest lifespan and I kept thinking how would he know beforehand.
