Premium Culinary Coloring Sticks™

12 edible crayons. Flavors: Sharpie, Diesel, Unflavored.

UNIT PRICE$34.99

For generations, Marines have instinctively reached for crayons during moments of stress, joy, and between-meal hunger. Squared Away Supply Co. is proud to offer the first crayon line engineered from the ground up for Marine Corps consumption — food-grade, contract-compliant, and certified at least 40% more caloric than standard crayons.

Each tin contains twelve individually wrapped Culinary Coloring Sticks™ in the following flavor lineup: Sharpie, Diesel, Unflavored, Classic Red, Sidewalk Chalk, Pine-Sol, Motor Oil, Burnt Rubber, Midnight CPAC, Gun Oil, Dirt, and the popular Officer's Mess (all other flavors mixed together).

Packaged in a commemorative MARPAT tin with a hinged lid and an embossed EGA. Small enough to fit in a cargo pocket. Large enough to ration across a field evolution. Ideal for FEXs, MREs (as a side), and moments of reflection.

The other branches don't understand what this product is. That is the product.

After-Action Reports

★★★★★LCpl Jackson Peralta

Finally. The Corps has listened. I have eaten crayons for seven years and this is the first time one has tasted like diesel on purpose.

★★★★★Sgt Mirabelle Huxtable

I gave one to an Airman at the gate. He asked if it was a protein bar. That is how you win wars.

★★★★GySgt Cornelius Vance

Officer's Mess flavor tastes exactly like what we all thought officers were. Knocked one star for accuracy.
