## The story

Chewable Shades were for the kid who wanted to look rad and have a snack plan. The lenses were thin colored wax you could sort of see through, which made the whole playground look like a music video. They lasted exactly one recess before somebody bit an earpiece off, which was the signal to start chewing.

## Fun fact

Wearing them in direct sunlight made them droop slowly, a style kids called the melting cool guy.
