I try to tell...Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm with you!<br /><br />I try to tell my boys not to chew on the erasers. Because when WE were little, that always made them erase yucky. But now they COME chewed on. That's the only thing I can think of. I wonder who chews on all the pencils before they get shipped to the stores???Raise Them Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15131235222116977410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-69047129582051311892011-09-15T01:40:16.800-04:002011-09-15T01:40:16.800-04:00Look at how you sacrifice to give your readers the...Look at how you sacrifice to give your readers the latest scoop on pencil erasers - thank you my friend!!! LOL!! Those erasers do make me so mad - ridiculous! We use mechanical pencils and like those best.

LOL. jk.<br /><br />Honestly I have never liked pencils or the erasers that come with them. I have always used mechanical pencils. The ones we use at work have a really great eraser. It's one of those white erasers. I can't remember what it is made of but not rubber. Tires are made of rubber and they leave skid marks too. :)<br /><br />Okay, I had to go look it up or I would not have been able to sleep tonight. It is made of vinyl. Here it is.<br />http://museartanddesign.com/2011/03/erasers-pink-erasers/<br /><br />Thanks for the test. Now I know where to point people if I want to make a point about erasers. :)Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-15607143423490493002011-09-14T23:25:55.336-04:002011-09-14T23:25:55.336-04:00The ONLY kind of erasers I like are those white &q...The ONLY kind of erasers I like are those white "Magic Rub" erasers. I don't think those colored ones you attach to the end of the pencil come close to the clean erase you get from "Magic Rub."

I'm on my 18th year of homeschooling and not only do we still struggle to find a great pencil and a great eraser, we can't find a great pencil sharpener. I bought every one on the market. We also try mechanical, but struggle finding a high quality one with built in boomarang features, ya' know, you spent $5 for it, you want it to come back into the school box at the end of the day?<br /><br />thanks for the laugh. you have to laugh or you'd be snapping pencils in half and throwing erasers across the room.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182293568554955242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-27956654844502447872011-09-14T21:23:26.295-04:002011-09-14T21:23:26.295-04:00Amen and amen!

None as of yet have pleased me. If they erase, then they don't sharpen evenly and we're sharpening pencils every other sentence. Thanks for the heads up and I will be getting new pencils next trip to town at Staples!Janet Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489759859200322292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-64279280377828745402011-09-14T20:44:07.094-04:002011-09-14T20:44:07.094-04:00LOL We've had the same problems here.

Their erasers work, although they are so tiny we have to buy extra erasers :P Thanks for this enlightening experiment! :)Rachel Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326204270380903697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-45326253689525031842011-09-14T19:47:01.857-04:002011-09-14T19:47:01.857-04:00I am totally with you on this one!
