A Customer Put Crayola On Blast For False Advertising About Its Colored Pencils. – ‘I can barely hold on to this thing.’
by Matthew Gilligan
It seems that false advertising is alive and well, friends!
A woman named Emily posted a video on TikTok and sounded off against Crayola because she wasn’t too happy with her purchase.
Emily wasn’t too happy about what she found after she opened her newly-purchased 64 pack of colored pencils from Crayola…
Because they looked like miniature versions of the real thing!
Emily said, “What the hell is that? A crime.”
In the video’s caption, Emily wrote, “@Crayola Seriously what are THESEE im like fuming these are golf pencils why did you not mention that on the box??? I 10000% would have bought anything else.”
Ouch…
Here’s the video.

Emily posted a follow-up video and said that she thinks this all boils down to shrinkflation.
She sounded off about her purchase and said, “I can barely hold on to this thing.”
