Crayon-eating Marine trope
A former U.S. Marine eats an edible crayon
- ... that U.S. Marines eat crayons (pictured)? Source: Veteran creates first colorable chocolate edible crayon
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Weywot
- Comment: Please note that while the article is primarily about the humorous trope of Marines eating crayons, it does verify the claim that Marines do actually eat crayons sometimes, either as a joke or with specialty edible crayons, both of which are documented in the source linked above and by other sources in the article.
Moved to mainspace by Tamzin (talk). Self-nominated at 06:38, 18 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Crayon-eating Marine trope; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article new and long enough. Source verified, I guess. Hook is obviously humorous, maybe add a 'some' qualifier (ALT1 below). It could be considered offensive, but I suppose since the Marines embrace the joke that wouldn't be. QPQ is done, no copyvio detected by Earwig. Good to go then.
