"The pre-chewed surfaces make pupils reluctant to put the pencils in their mouths, encouraging them to focus on the challenges at hand. It seems more likely that many children would instead focus on their own disgust at having to hold something with someone else's teeth marks in it."
I used to chew my pen at school and it actually caused a gap between my upper and lower set of teeth, so perhaps they should be recommended by dentists too!
Wonder who actually chews them though before they go on sale?

I'm gross. It wouldn't bother me.

That's gross, but I would probably still chew it. I don't know why, but I would get writing utensils found in public, wash them and keep on chewin'...

That's disgusting... and I'm not sure how successful it would be.I thought kids chewing their pencils in class was a sign that they were concentrating.....it's hardly like chewing a pencil is going to distract you all that much... there's not that much to think about when it comes to chewing a pencil.

I wonder what the job roles go for with the company that makes theses... Head Chewer?
And would they have quality control over the firmness of the chew or the excess saliva?
-
What a resume addition: "Professional Pencil Chewer for 2 Years."

Isn't it funny how almost every human will chew on wood pencils, given a chance? It all comes back to our roots: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/04/040401075930.htm

I dont get it,
Chewing them, makes me concentrate tbh..Kind of odd.
And it gives you something to do at the end of an exam
Instead of messing with the desk, breaking it,
And making a huge noise which gets your paper torn up and you out of the exam..Lmao,
I am weird

I wonder if there is a Chinese sweatshop somewhere where hundreads of kids huddle together and chew on pencils all day to make these.
-
Woudn't the kids be worrying about holding a disgusting pencil that someone they don't know chewed on? lol
-
That would so distract me more. I don't chew pencils/pens though.
