Why do some companies make their markers smell like some sort of food product? When they smell bad I get the idea that I should NOT put them in my mouth. Why do they also try to match up the color w/ a smell of something that is usually the same color? A yellow marker will smell like lemon. A blue marker smells like a toxic blueberry. A black marker smells like licorice? WHY? Who cares if the colors match up?
I could think of tens of things that smell better than licorice... like coffee, or vanilla, or pizza...heck, why not just make the black one smell like an orange like the orange one? Is there something wrong with having more than one marker smell like an orange?
Don't give kids a reason to sniff markers. It could turn into a nasty habit.
