The best data says that eating Crayola&#x27;s is safe. Young children do it all the time. That doesn&#x27;t mean that I&#x27;m going to munch down a boxful if asked to, even if I work for the company and I&#x27;m talking to someone who is skeptical. It isn&#x27;t food.<p>EDIT: check the bottom of the article for an update. He is not an employee or lobbyist for Monsanto (the manufacturer).

Bahaha. My (now ex) wife pulled this on a door-to-door salesman claiming his cleaning product was non-toxic, in case the kids accidentally got into it. So she challenged him to drink some.<p>Apparently he drank a little. Then she told him she&#x27;s &quot;just a woman&quot; and that I &quot;don&#x27;t allow&quot; her to handle the money.
