Retsy Series 1 · Card 0175 · 80-MEM
Too cute to erase. Too fragrant to ignore.
Collecting tiny scented novelty erasers shaped like foods, robots and animals, which nobody ever used for erasing.
The story · 1986
A serious collection lived in a plastic tackle box with a slot for each eraser. There was the cola bottle, the hamburger, the sneaker and the impossible-to-find watermelon slice. Using one on a math test was unthinkable. Trading happened at recess, and nibbling one was a punishable offense.
Kids who sniffed their eraser collection too long reported smelling cherry for the rest of the afternoon.
