watch your back, crayon factories

Filed under: Uncategorized

so we had an unreasonable amount of ridiculously old and broken crayons at work.  my co-worker and i spent an unreasonable amount of time sorting out the crayolas from the "others"*.  i brought the resulting crampacked gallon ziplock bag of crayolas home and spent an unreasonable amount of time peeling and sorting them.  then i crammed some** of them in a mini muffin tin and melted the crap out of them in the oven and ended up with crayon nubbins that are good and fun and awesome.  the end***.

mini crayon muffins

*i am not a crayon racist, i just know that different brands of crayons have different ingredients and melting points and i figured if i went with only the majority (which happened to be crayola) i would end up with a halfway decent finished product.

**i still have well over a half of a gallon bag full of crayons yet to be peeled and sorted and melted into muffins

***or is it?
