Do people eat crayons?

Question

Are they good for you? Bad for you? Do they taste different?

Why eat crayons?

Answer 1

Crayons are non-toxic, and  non-nutritive.  They are neither good for you nor bad for you.  They taste the same, regardless of color.

As to why people would eat crayons- children put everything in their mouths.  It's a method of discovery.

Adults who eat crayons would likely be suffering from a disorder called pica.

My dog ate a whole box once, and for days she pooped Violet, Carnation Pink, Magenta, Burnt Sienna, and Periwinkle.

Answer 2

Oh yes :) My Little boy shares them with his daddy.

He sticks it in daddy's mouth, and  yes, my hubby actually eats the crayons to entertain him.

I find it rather disgusting, and I really don't think that colored wax is actually good for you. But hey, whatever floats your boat, right??

They have been through many 24 packs of crayons.

My dog eats them too :) I might just start saving money on groceries and feed them colorful wax!
