Crayon flavored water, hmmmm. It appeals to something buried deep in my subconcious, the memory of gnawing on the colorful wax sticks and putting them into my mouth, despite being expressly forbidden by my mother to do so. Yes, in my mind I can imagine the taste of burnt sienna right at the moment… Bonus fascinating crayon […]
I don’t know where the site www.finewaters.com originates, but the enthusiastic writer/s certainly speak English as a second language.
