I had one of those too, and it was "my precious" :P

I did too! I tried to press them all down at the same time and broke it tho... May have tried a bit to hard...

I still remember how it smelled when you wrote in different colours (no it wasn't scented, some colours had a particular smell from, the pigment I suppose)

Oww me too! I loved it so much though. Did you do the thing where each letter was in a different colour?

Same! I remember trying to press them all down at once in an attempt to make a rainbow. I'm still sad it never worked.

I have one, and stop fat shaming my pen

yo same i was seen as a god! (second only to the other kid with 36 different crayon colors)

Had one just like it - I could red underline with just a click. Everyone wanted to try it!

Just today I recalled how in my university years some 10 years ago I found and bought such a pen from a small stationary shop and later the same day I gave it to a kid that was playing with her grandma near our group and decided it would be cool to hang out with us too :D She was below 7 at the time, I think, so she must count as the new generation, but she was still just as fascinated by it as I was when I first got my hands on one of these :)

Weren't they meant to color things..? I had one too I can't remember writing with it. Or those erasers that smelled like candy shaped like fruit or animals.

16? I never saw a 16 color pen!

meeee tooooo !!

Yeah i had it too but never really used it! Was not practical

And the colors jammed

Most of the colours in mine dried out before I had a chance to use them – that's how long I had it.

I still have the multi-colour version, but a few colours have dried up now.

Did your ink colors keep slipping? Mine did. But BOY, I treasured that pen!

And they still sell SOME versions of it.

Yup, I had one of those too, lol

I didn't even know there was a 16 color version! Damn!

My daughter just got one for a pixel at school lol

I didn't know that existed 😳 am I too old or too young (I'd bet: too old!!!)

Oh god don’t get me started on my kindergarten business regarding these.

16? Wow. I had one that had 12, and that was too fat.

Damn, you were one of the cool kids.

I have this and that.

Yes it was. I had one 2 😂

YESSSSSSSSS

@fat harry the 'allowed' colors dried up so fast too!

Unfair ive always wanted one

I still have one somewhere

I've seen the erasable ones advertised recently, as if it was the latest thing. Indispensable for doing crosswords, apparently.

So am I! I also hung one from a string off of a tack next to the calendar since my boyfriend cannot remember that he is blue, vet is green, I am pink (with a separate pen), and red is... well, Satan's Sacrificial Waterfall. Why is menopause making me wait sooooooo looooong!!!

Yes!!

If you wanna give me your address, I will send you one. I, um, just bought one recently. Am I still cool? Don't throw me out of the gang, please!
