Why do some childrens like to eat crayon?

[NekoRightsActivist]

Crayon is just colored wax which tastes nothing but bland, compares to fingernail (which is also quite bland but at least doesn't gross me out) it isn't even chewy and it's waxy flavor makes it hard to swallow. I can understand why some people like to bite their fingernail but not those who like to eat crayon.
t. Have eaten crayon before, ended up throwing most of it out, never again.

Ever chew the wax of a honeycomb? It's quite nice.

Weird textural shit is a thing with little kids, doubly so if they've got the 'tism.

I used to think everyone was crazy about government interference in public education, but then I learned about the marine pipeline.

tried once several years ago, found an old pack of crayon and ate it because curiously cat UwU, tasted really bad and have never tried that again since.

I don't know but most kids prefer eating play-doh.

 

[A Welsh Cake]

It’s the texture not the taste, the experience, the qualities.
I mean a phillistine like you wouldn’t get it but me and my upper class buddies love to have crayon tasting parties.
Let me tell you a 1998 vintage crayola baby blue is nothing compared to 2005’s Jazzberry Jam crayons. It truly is an enlightening chew.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

You're doing it all wrong, you needto mix it into the kid's food like you do with vegetables. They won't even know its there

It’s because crayons are: easily accessible, the color is enticing (like candy) and they fit in the hand easily. The same reasons some younger kids will try to eat Play Doh.

If someone did a study, they’d probably find that kids ate the pretty colored crayons more often than neutral colored ones.
