Not if you want to sell to a lot of pens to kids who like fiddling around with things in a time when there's no such things as smartphones.

But in terms of functionality, yeah, they sucked.

You’re absolutely right, those pencils sucked, lol. IMO, it got more use afterwards.

We used it to thread yarn for art class, stick a potato and make a stamp, marker for seedlings, they were collected and reused for arts and crafts, etc.

Spitball firing machine.

Yeah as a capitalist idea they're marvelous. Here's a 20th of a regular pencil. Used all the graphite? Buy a new pencil!
