Teach Them to Snort While They’re Young

Consumer advocates are urging the ban of “Magic Scent” Crayolas — crayons with aroma capsules built into their wax — because the scents might entice children to eat them. Company officials insist that the crayons themselves don’t have much scent, but when used the aroma capsules burst and “only the pictures” smell, a company spokesman said. But then, some kids will be enticed to lick or eat the paper, retorted the director of a poison control center. (AP) ...Apparently, these guys have never seen what kids put in their mouths. Crayons would probably be better for them.
