Sorry for the quality of the next drawing/comic/class notes, I promise to invest in better colored pencils/markers when I trip over a duffel bag of $20 bills. These Walgreens Select are really not cutting it. Despite claiming to be "the #1 choice of Teachers. Blindly, I eagerly grabbed the last box of 50 color rich pencils and apathetically grabbed the box 10 markers, because I really only wanted the black one. What I should have realized was that the title of "#1 choice of Teachers" was a warning flag.
Think:
When was the last time you regularly used colored pencils and markers?
Elementary School, probably a public one too because if you went to a private school you were given paint and brushes made of unicorn hairs. Fact.
Consequently, since they are working at a public school it is safe to assume their budget is wildly underfunded. I find this to be the only logical explanation for why Walgreens Select is "the #1 choice of Teachers." Really, it should be "the #1 choice of broke-ass-good-intentioned-city-employees." And I have the utmost respect for the majority of you, but your clear lapse in art supply preference makes me question some of your judgements.
In my review I would say:
While not my first choice, Walgreens Select Colored Pencils come in a variety of shades. However, it does savor of a marketing attempt to win over consumers by offering 50-fucking-colors in 1 box. I assume they are feebly trying to distract me from the actual quality of the product by reminding me that such colors as "Sand" or "Periwinkle Blue" exist. I find that they smudge and are not perfect. Price wise they are quite reasonable I would recommend them to broke-ass public school teachers.

ReplyDeleteI have an idea! You should get a ChipIn widget and put it in your side bar to try & raise money for some new drawing tools. :D
