We all tend to chew our pens without thinking. Sometimes we’re nervous, sometimes it’s due to stress, sometimes it’s just a bad habit.

Well why not have a pen that is designed to be chewed? Surely that’s a logical invention, a next step for all us pen-chewers?

I think it’s a great idea. I would love to taste a delicious strawberry flavour, or even chocolate, next time I chew my pen.

It’s like chewing gum, except it has more of a use. In fact it gives schoolchidren and adults around the world an excuse finally to chew something without getting into trouble.

Think of the relief it would cause smokers…What if we invented an anti-smoker pen that gave smokers something to do instead of smoking?

So next time a pen company purchases the local sweet or chocolate factory, it’s not that they’re diversifying, it’s that they are enterprising!

Imagine all the wonderful colours and flavours this pen would come in. It could create an industry unto itself - refillable peanut butter tasting pens, disposable rum and raisin pens…the list goes on.
