Mr. Sketch

While shopping for school supplies yesterday, I rediscovered a wonderful forgotten memory from my childhood — a box of Mr. Sketch markers! I remember these from Elementary school — each color has it's own distinctive scent. (The black smells of licorice, the dark green smells like apple, the orange is orange, and so on.) Only the licorice and cinnamon seem familiar — many of the others seem different, somewhat stronger, more like chemicals or perfume than I recall (though that could be because the markers are so new).

I still haven't figured out why the light blue is supposed to be "mango."
