Novelty?

Every now and again certain pencils end up in my collection and I have no idea where they came from, possible I have picked up your pencil by accident, if so sorry. This is the 'milk & more' promotional pencil, we have never used the milk & more service so I am almost sure this must be somebody else's pencil. Nevertheless, although I would categorise this pencil as a 'Novelty' pencil, and being made of an unknown white substance that maybe congealed milk, (although isn't congealed milk, cheese?) and therefore ridiculous to sharpen (The board meeting possibly going a little like: "you could have the pencil made from this white substance", "is that congealed milk?" "we are not sure", "well does it sharpen?", "No, in fact it kind of annoyingly crumbles, much like congealed milk might - but it is white, you know, like milk." "so people wont actually be able to use it properly" "that's correct","wow, were in! where do we sign") In Fact when you do sharpen it, the lead bleeds in to the white substance, making a kind of dirty grey, and so therefore their plan of making it look like fresh milk backfires. But it is a nice pencil.

The lead has got to be a 6B or deeper which is odd for a novelty pencil, and has a lovely velvety feel as you draw, again it's round so it gets my top mark for that, It is also made from recyclable material, so that has to be good and the eraser works a treat. I just wish it would sharpen. This is a running theme I notice - maybe I should try another sharpener.
