The story · 1998

The story of Gel Pen Goo

Gel Pen Goo hit right when every pencil case was stuffed with glitter gel pens. The candy versions looked almost identical, with clear barrels full of shimmery fruit gel and a click cap. Kids traded them in class, mixed them up with the real ones, licked the wrong pen at least once, and never told anyone about it.

Fun fact

The metallic silver flavor was officially called Moon Grape, and nobody ever figured out what that meant.
