Cleverly dubbed, War on Error is a set of erasers based on the classic green army men toys boys would play with before the introduction of more intense video games. They might serve as a nostalgic reminder to some about their long lost childhood, but to others they will simply be a fun way to erase all of those punctuation problems from their lives and paperwork. That is, if they still use pencil.
Created by Just Mustard, the War on Error erasers are playful and practical. As written on their website, "Born from the happy re-phrasing of one of the bleakest foreign policies ever, our War on Error erasers are rubbery reminders that everyone makes mistakes."
