Episode notes
Seasonal Pencil Appeal and Pumpkin Spice
- The charm of fall pencils like Ticonderoga's orange stripe lies in their seasonal visuals rather than embracing pumpkin spice flavor.
- Both Myke and Brad appreciate pumpkin pie but not typical pumpkin spice drinks.
Rotring 800 vs 600 Preference
- The Rotring 800's retractable lead pipe is a practical feature but less appealing than the Rotring 600's design.
- Brad wouldn't choose the 800 over the 600 and does not own an 800 due to color limitations and styling.
Color Choices Affect Lamy 2000 Appeal
- Lamy 2000 limited editions stick to muted, classic colors reflecting the pen's serious design.
- Bright colors like turquoise or burnt orange would inspire Brad and Myke to consider buying one.
