Sugary Treat-Scented Pens

Treat Your Senses to Jolly Ranchers & Twizzlers with These Scented Pens

— June 26, 2013 — Lifestyle
Usually scented pens add fragrant pizzazz to your writing, but the Snifty scented pens add the fragrance of very familiar candy store goodies. The scientists in the scent labs got a little more creative with this specific line of smelly pens—they are designed to smell like random junk foods like Twizzlers and Jolly Ranchers. Snifty Pens also have a line of fast food-scented pens that smell like pop corn or pizza.

Each pen is printed like a candy wrapper of the delectable goods it will resemble in scent. Reminding us of licorice sticks and fruity hard candies, each pen is visually appetizing as well.

The Snifty Scented Pens are available on Neatoshop. They are retractable ballpoint pens, all with black ink. They would make fun gift ideas for students going back to school, but make sure you remind them that though they may smell amazing, these Snifty pens are not edible.
