This box is a bit of a mystery. It’s the only one of this style I’ve ever seen with a red logo. All the other hundreds I’ve seen were like
those below, with blue logos. My theory is that this was the first replacement for the
old, familiar blue box and everyone said, “Hey, you stupid mother fuckers! Your lead has come in a blue box for FIFTY years. What the hell is this red shit?” So they compromised and replaced the red with blue. Maybe.
You know, gang. It’s crazy late night rants like this that are going to get this website filtered out of your children’s schools. It seems most schools these days waste money on internet blocking software. Now, when your child goes to look up “Koh-I-Noor model 2200 lead in a red and brown box” for his dumb-ass research paper and he can’t find a word about Koh-I-Noor lead, you’ll know why. Oooooh! He said a bad word! Naughty, naughty. It’s fine if some moron on a personal vendetta wants to send your children to go kill Arabs for their oil, but heaven fucking forbid junior should use a “dirty” word to add flair to his dumb-ass-mother-fucking research paper.
