How did these crayons even get past the testing during development, let alone last for tens of years on the market?! But you did a great job anyway! Very cute characters!
These were designed to shut up a child whining at the dollar store, not to actually be used. So they were engineered to perfection in order to cut costs and be unusable.
hey kasey! if i identified it correctly, that 'red spider thing' is a chigger. while non-venomous, they can crawl up your clothes and leave tens if not hundreds of incredibly itchy bites. it would be best if you got rid of that little bugger
Also! Common myth about the red mite/chigger is that the bumps they leave behind have eggs in them, so the bumps need to be cut open to make sure the eggs don't survive. NOT TRUE! They're just bumps, no need to incur further wounds :)
I never had crayons like this when I was a kid, but I did have pencils like that. Yes, it was a normal pencil, not even a colored pencil lol. Basically it was the same concept as this crayon where you had the little capsule things that had the graphite in them, and then after you used up the first one you'd remove it from the top of the stack and have a new, sharp piece of graphite underneath. They were pretty cool back when I was a kid, but tbh they weren't nearly as good as a normal mechanical pencil.
I had one too! It had dolphins on it and a translucent plastic outer layer so you could see the 'layers'. I ended up losing one of the pencil stacker bits and could never use it again! Super awful design.
Omg my nan and pop used to have so many of these! I miss them!! But god forbid you loose one of the graphite capsules and the whole thing no longer functions 😂
I remember going to a summer camp and they had us fill out a survey asking about our experience and they gave us one of these. It was like pretty much impossible to fit the answers in the provided space on the sheet
I never had crayons like this but I had erasers that stacked. They were held in a tube and each one pushed the next out, rather than solely being held together by their connected.
8:05 this is a real problem in our society and no one talks about it. finally someone understands me drawing something with a crappy art supply does NOT make it look like a kid made it. drawing something simple and cute does NOT make it look like a kid made it. not even drawing stickmen makes it look like a kid made it. the only thing that really does make it look like a kid drew it is lack of art knowledge and motor skills. if you draw perfectly straight stickmen with perfectly circle heads and perfectly proportionate faces it will NOT LOOK LIKE A KID DREW IT. NOT EVEN MOST ADULTS DRAW LIKE THIS WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOOLING?!!!
Honestly it shouldn't be that hard to just... GET A KID to draw the KID DRAWING. Even nepotism would be acceptable in this case... get the director's 3 year old to do a little scribble. You don't have to pay the toddler so they're not taking any jobs by being unqualified. Literally just find a child to do the child drawing
I love the gummy mouthed aligator. I had a 'pencil crayon' like this as a kid that was similarly so bad that I never used it but I always pulled it out in class to line up with my real crayons just so other kids could see how cool I was (I was not cool).
This reminds me of when you tell people you like art, so for your birthday they get you something like this and you try to act nice about it but the supplies are really cheap. Its worse than not getting anything because i hate pretending i like things to make people happy
Oh my gosh I have one of these stacked crayons except they're shaped like stars!! They are also quite scratchy but I like the novelty of stacking star shaped crayons 😂
Hullo Kasey, I have admired your style for many years now. You capture the essence of your characters in every medium. That said I do not believe that you succeeded in this particular video. Sometimes you simply have to switch to another tool or in this case just switch to a different crayon! I was so impressed with so many of your creations during your year of the crayon videos! I implore you to consider that perhaps your croc even the bunny need to be given another chance. I am thinking back to those crayon drawings and I believe that most were just fine, yet several times I thought “Oh if Kasey had just chosen watercolor” or any of your other preferred mediums and re-created the characters or scenes, I believe that you might have made a breakout character or idea challenging the Ants or Catcus ideas for supremacy in your pantheon of OC’s! I often think about Hatch and how they are doing in the backseat of your creative mind? Thank you for sharing these horrible stacking crayons. I will never waste my money on them! I guess that is the kindest thing I can say/type. Please take care, be safe and enjoy your day!
Wow, I totally agree with you on this! It’s so frustrating when you invest in art supplies that end up being a disappointment. Thanks for sharing your experience and saving us from making the same mistake. Your honesty and detailed review are much appreciated!
The characters are unbelievably cute! My fave is the 🐦. But those crayons shouldn’t even have made it to the market. I feel so sorry for any children having to use these. What if they discourage some of the next generation of potentially stellar artists? Ugh.
I remember the pencil ones, having to keep switching between them to find the most sharp ones because they all became super dull and there was no way to sharpen them, and after a while because of the constant use they would lose their grip and fall apart 😭 A really fun concept and I did like them to some extent but dang they sucked for everyday use haha
I used to watch your videos a lot but never subscribed. Later I got busy and stopped seeing your videos in my recommendations. I even didn't remember the name. I just knew "the girl who hated purple". Looked for it and found you again. Subscribed and pressed the bell icon.
I’ve had a lot of issues with cheap pink crayons - pink (and sometimes light blue) seem to be the biggest problem colors if the whole set is cheap, at least in my experience. Maybe something about how it’s made lighter during production? All this to say, that first pink being awful immediately in the swatch doesn’t surprise me at all.
Ok, this is gonna seem cheesy but i want to say, thank you :) I started watching your videos many years ago and loved them! I would always try to draw like you, and honestly if i didn't come across your channel i would have never started drawing and experimenting with stylization and shape. If younger me looked at myself now they would have died of shock from how i have improved. So, i just wanted to say, thank you, for starting my art journey and inspiring me to try
Please make merch with the alligator!! It’d look like that fancy preppy brand (🐊Lacoste?) but way cooler. 10/10 would wear a polo or sweatshirt with the lil guy on the chest
I've had a stackable pencil and it was actually used, cause it's kinda hard to go wrong with it, worst case it'll feel bad while being really hard. But yeah, mostly it was a fidget toy that teacher would allow in class
It used to irritate me to no end about how much residue would be left over no matter how much or how little pressure you put on them. Those crayons were worse than RoseArt crayons!
Huh. I don't think I've ever seen stackable anything other than erasers and mini highlighters. The erasers were a mixed bag, some stacks were great, some just broke. The highlighters though?? Perfect, always juicy, sometimes they smelled nice too!
Unfortunately I don’t know these BUT I used to stack Crayola markers all the time and I remember those little stackable squares and I would pretend they were lightsabers lol
I bought some of those cheap crayons a couple months ago. Theyre terrible but cute. I didnt get black either but got yellow in mine. and those tiny red spiders, we call them piss ants in Kentucky. In summer they're all over the concrete that most ppl dont see. 😳 (10 days later and realized kaseys has yellow too. I'm a dumbass😂
Hearing privileged people say, "You get what you pay for," is my pet peeve. Crayola Crayons are literally $0.50 at Walmart right now. If you're struggling financially, there's often a quality yet affordable option. You may have to look harder, but don't be fooled into believing that spending more on a product means it's better quality.
My pet peeve is people overusing the word "privileged". Also you clearly have a fundamental misunderstanding of what that saying actually means; it doesn't mean that everything that's affordable or cheap is bad or low quality, it just means that if something is cheap you can USUALLY (but not always) expect for that thing to be slightly lower quality because cheaper items tend to be more affordable because they're made from lower quality materials or the manufacturer cuts costs and saves money during the manufacturing process. Obviously there are plenty of exceptions to this, and there are plenty of cheap items that are excellent quality as well as expensive items that are horrible quality, but generally you can expect cheap items to be just a bit worse than similar items of a higher price point. There's clearly more nuance there than what the saying would suggest, but that same nuance seems to be a bit lost on you as well; you just seemed to be more focused on your little mini rant about "privileged people" to notice it.
The one I had were in like a plastic tube, so you would push the next one up when putting the other one in the bottom (great phrasing 👀) so no stacking issues there but if you lose one all is lost 🥲
How did these crayons even get past the testing during development, let alone last for tens of years on the market?! But you did a great job anyway! Very cute characters!
bold of you to assume a 1 dollar crayon toy that's been replicated and sold for decades has gone thru any testing X)
Jokes on you, those crayons have been sitting on the shelves FOR 10 years 😂
These were designed to shut up a child whining at the dollar store, not to actually be used. So they were engineered to perfection in order to cut costs and be unusable.
@@AoeutHahaha I believe it!
I've had these and they aren't that bad!!!!!
i need justice for these characters, i hope they get a future redraw with some different supplies lol
I was literally thinking the exact same thing
Yes!
And i would love a sticker of that alligator friend🥰
hey kasey! if i identified it correctly, that 'red spider thing' is a chigger. while non-venomous, they can crawl up your clothes and leave tens if not hundreds of incredibly itchy bites. it would be best if you got rid of that little bugger
Could also be a clover mite, hard to tell since it's just a dot on the screen, lol
Also! Common myth about the red mite/chigger is that the bumps they leave behind have eggs in them, so the bumps need to be cut open to make sure the eggs don't survive. NOT TRUE! They're just bumps, no need to incur further wounds :)
@@spam-el3eeawh man now i cant open the funny bites !!
@@Ka-BO0M baghahahah-😂
Apparently there’s multiple small red mites that are harmless

I had the same product, though mine were snowmen :)
I had one too! It had dolphins on it and a translucent plastic outer layer so you could see the 'layers'. I ended up losing one of the pencil stacker bits and could never use it again! Super awful design.
But they were useable!
Omg my nan and pop used to have so many of these! I miss them!! But god forbid you loose one of the graphite capsules and the whole thing no longer functions 😂
@@hollyjh3147same, I had a dolphin one too. I also lost several of the stackey bits
If Lego decided to make something like this, the crayon would actually hold together.
I remember going to a summer camp and they had us fill out a survey asking about our experience and they gave us one of these. It was like pretty much impossible to fit the answers in the provided space on the sheet
These crayons were unworthy of these characters! Justice for these little guys
Aaah, this reminds me of 'mechanical pencils' that stack in this odd way. I remember a lot of them snapping, popping off and getting lost. Blurgh.
I never had crayons like this but I had erasers that stacked. They were held in a tube and each one pushed the next out, rather than solely being held together by their connected.
My god you activated a childhood memory of mine now, i remember having one of these erasers too and i loved it 🥺
I have one now, and use it in the woodshop. They hold up 🙌
A schoolfriend gave me hers and it smelled like strawberries!

Me having this exact rant every time there's "children's" artwork hanging on the wall or fridge in a show or movie.
CHILDREN DON'T DRAW LIKE *THAT*!
Use your non dominant hand and squint to mimick children's drawing properly
Honestly it shouldn't be that hard to just... GET A KID to draw the KID DRAWING. Even nepotism would be acceptable in this case... get the director's 3 year old to do a little scribble. You don't have to pay the toddler so they're not taking any jobs by being unqualified. Literally just find a child to do the child drawing
God the way they scratched at the paper made me shudder, idk how you made it through using them all so kudos to you!!
THESE CHARACTERS ARE SO CUTE you should try drawing them again but with your best crayons like a comparison JUSTICE FOR THE GOOFBALL GANG
I love the gummy mouthed aligator. I had a 'pencil crayon' like this as a kid that was similarly so bad that I never used it but I always pulled it out in class to line up with my real crayons just so other kids could see how cool I was (I was not cool).
5:04
That looks like a red spider mite or a related species.
This alligator gives off a Pickles vibe ngl
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
pickle if he was infected by a zombie! xD
This time of year you can get name brand Crayola crayons everywhere for like 50 cents. I could never deal with this mess. 😅
So I thought at first that they we markers so when she putted the first one done I was like actually shocked, until she said that the were crayons😂🙈

The creatures are reacting to the art supply XD
Alligator: 😦
Bunny: 😐
Bird: 🤨
Lmao I've never seen the stackable crayons but I had the pen and pencil version 😂
That bug was a chigger. Don't let it bite you. very itchy bites. Edit: I love the exhausted bird.

😂 that pink bunny is cursed, it will haunt my dreams
Kasey! We do not punish ourselves for our early successes! Or abuse our creations for being malformed shadows of our firstborn.
In the UK you used to be able to get these at a chip shop! I’m sure they seemed so much better when I was little 😂
I love the 3 animals but the crocodile looks so goofy and reminds me of dino nuggets or croconuggets
sometimes it's not you, it's your art supplies...
Ok, this is gonna seem cheesy but i want to say, thank you :) I started watching your videos many years ago and loved them!

Hahaha that bunny has murder in his eyes but all soo cute even murder bunny
Please make merch with the alligator!! It’d look like that fancy preppy brand (🐊Lacoste?) but way cooler. 10/10 would wear a polo or sweatshirt with the lil guy on the chest
It's been quite some time since you did a "Painting with" video (The blood one is one of my favorites) could I suggest "Painting with soup"?
I've had a stackable pencil and it was actually used, cause it's kinda hard to go wrong with it, worst case it'll feel bad while being really hard. But yeah, mostly it was a fidget toy that teacher would allow in class
i had a pencil version of this as a kid and i used it once and never again
It used to irritate me to no end about how much residue would be left over no matter how much or how little pressure you put on them. Those crayons were worse than RoseArt crayons!
i had those! they never stayed together though XD
Eye twitches at the order of the blues. Lol
try scraping off the wax after you draw! it makes it look soooo much better
Huh. I don't think I've ever seen stackable anything other than erasers and mini highlighters.
The erasers were a mixed bag, some stacks were great, some just broke.
The highlighters though?? Perfect, always juicy, sometimes they smelled nice too!
this is peak alligator design
The ones that I remember they attach to the sides too
Unfortunately I don’t know these BUT I used to stack Crayola markers all the time and I remember those little stackable squares and I would pretend they were lightsabers lol
Right when Canadian walmart has 24 Crayola crayons for .98¢. Lol
(Back to school)
How Kasey described the crayons in the description😂
Next weeks video is redrawing these characters with the expensive artist grade crayons.
I actually had these for school and they aren't bad, but they arent good
Oh, I wish I woulda said this on my main... But... Even worse than Miniso!?
i had stackable colouring pencils and normal graphite stackable pencils too
This is tragic lmao. I loved the alligator but those crayons suuuuuuck. Justice for that dude. He needs to get a comeback.
I ❤ these pen 😍😍
why
They are as awful as I remember them 😮 30 years passed and no miraculous innovation to better them 😂😂
My little sister said if you look closely the rabbit looks like it’s skin is ripped off😖🤣
I've never used stackable crayons but I really liked stackable pencils as a kid
secret Pickle unlocked!!
Daaaaamn, those are as bad as Rose Art crayons!
I paused the video and have been waiting 10 days for that update at 9:00. Is she gonna finish this or not? 😰
The red bug looks like an aphid
My daughter had them they were terrible lol
I wish you'd redraw these three cute guys with something that works
I bought some of those cheap crayons a couple months ago. Theyre terrible but cute. I didnt get black either but got yellow in mine. and those tiny red spiders, we call them piss ants in Kentucky. In summer they're all over the concrete that most ppl dont see. 😳 (10 days later and realized kaseys has yellow too. I'm a dumbass😂
alligator stickers please…
Probably the quickest I’ve ever been here for a vid🤪
I drew a self portrait using one of these and it made marks and that’s all I care about 😂
The “tiny red spider” might be a mite or a chigger, so watch out
little gator would be a cute sticker……
Try to use them with water then maybe they will be less dry
Crayons are typically wax based, so water wouldn't help at all.
Missed opportunity to do a red spider
Good god i loved and hated them
nuu the crayons
❤❤❤
Did you just quote nostalgia critic??
I'm a firm believer of getting children good art supplies, but i think these are only for a 1 yr old doodling ,maybe try using them as watercolors🤔??
Definitely a choking hazard
No? I think the closest thing I remember, is connecting a bunch of markers together
Well, I guess I will not complain about Crayolas
Just the tip😏

Scrape the crayon off after colouring it looks better
hello Kasey!! ❤ Love your videos, send me a hello please!!
The one I had were in like a plastic tube, so you would push the next one up when putting the other one in the bottom (great phrasing 👀) so no stacking issues there but if you lose one all is lost 🥲
Not me blowing at the screen to get rid of all the waxy crumps 🫠 tell me it is time to go to bed without telling me it’s time to go to bed
I like to think that the alligator isn't an alligator but a granny-gator
