Like A Phoenix From The Ashes!!: Crayon Melter Makes New Crayons From Old Ones
The Crayola Crayon Maker is a $20 E-Z-Bake oven that melts bits and pieces of old crayons into new, shit-brown colored ones.
If you've got kids, you've got crayons. And if you've got crayons, you've probably got a big container of tiny crayon nubs that are even too small for kid fingers. But Crayola themselves now have a way for you to recycle all those worn down bits into new crayons, mixing and mashing whatever colors you like together.
DOES NOT WORK ON ARMY MEN.
Hit the jump for a commercial featuring some special looking kids that probably shouldn't be using a heating element without parent supervision.
