Fun for kids, not fun for parents and 2 out of 8 broken
Kids wanted this for Jr Guards program as all the other participants recommended these.  2 out of 8 were broken and would not come out of the tube (same concept as chapstick/glue sticks/lipsticks). The bottom just spins and spins and the stick does not come out.  One stick was actually missing the bottom piece that makes it turn.  Color comes of on clothes and suits, but not off skin.  while it's a fun item for the kids, as a parent I would advise against it.
