If you had to eat a box of 8 crayons, which colour would you eat first and which would you eat last and why. In fact what order would you eat them in and why?

The colours are:-

Blue
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
Purple
Brown
Black

I'd start with the black because it would be like caviar and therefore a reasonable entre, then the brown, orange and green because it would be like vegetables and gravy with a nice melted red burgundy, and end with the blue and yellow because as Blueberry and custard it's a reasonable pudding. The purple? Well, by now I'm a bit full thank you. I wouldn't want to be greedy.

Can I have crayfish instead of crayons please?

I'd definately go with the French onion soup, I don't think the lobster thermador would go with the main course.

I'm trying to imagine the scenario where one is forced to eat Crayons...

Is this some sort of enrollment exercise from I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here?

Mighten one just want to eat them for the fun of it?

If one is aged less than 4 maybe

Perhaps they could be combined to create new flavours, like with jelly beans.

For the sake of arguement, it's the law!

Black, brown, then rainbow order - starting with red - like in the song "I can eat a rainbow"; followed by the box for the best chance of finishing with acceptably clean teeth.

Now, was it "eat"?? dunno

Get sheets of rice papaer

Some crayons are lead-based. You don´t want to eat those.

If a small child eats a coloured crayon (eg, bright green) it has an amazing impact on the colour of the contents of their nappy.

But presumably if you eat the whole box you still end up with brown.

Let them eat a few different ones and sell the diapers as art.

Somewhat like eating Beetroot then, I wonder how many people have rushed to A and E with "blood" in their urine after eating it.

As to eating crayons, if I had too then the blue would be last as there are few, if any, natural foods in that colour. Which is why, I think, food manufacturers avoid that colour for their products. Of course crayons aren't a natural food but my mind still thinks that way.

I would compose myself and then wax lyrical.

That's Lyrical will stand still long enough.

Doh! Add an 'if' if you don't mind. I thenk yew!

Melt them all together to make something brown and spludgy.

Shape into a waxy turd.

Pretend you've eaten them.

Orange first. Like eating an orange? Black last - I'd imagine at the crayon factory they just check everything in to make black - dust, old food, dirt from under their finger nails. Do they put bitrex in crayons? After a while you get used to bitrex and grow to love it - it's like curry powder.

*tangent alert*

You ever get a game-playing, I'm-trying-to-set-up-an-argument partner asking questions like "If you had to choose between football and me, what would you choose?". AFter many years of getting questions like that I realised the only answer is "If you can name a situation where I'd have to make that decision I'll answer your question".
