It's not just German companies who can come up with poorly researched product names: American Crayola also gave the world the fuzzy wuzzy brown crayon in 1998.
Haha. Touche! It never crossed my mind.
Reminds me of a great Father Ted episode
It would be a handy assistive device for someone who is visual impaired - it would cost $300 if it were sold in a medical supply store.
What a great idea for the vision impaired!
A bloke at my school had a Crayola ruler. He was the coolest guy in school. His name was Russ Man Russ.
