Scientific Proof That Rose Art Crayons Suck

Crayola is far superior. If your parents never bought you at least the 64 count Crayola box with built-in sharpener, they didn’t love you. posted on July 28, 2011 at 6:25pm EDT

How would you treat the wax to stop it from melting more if you did this and placed it in your house?

I posted this on someone’s comment, but I’m posting it again for all to see.
I’m going to get science-y up here.
The principle behind crayons is very simple. Wax softens fairly easily, allowing it to leave a residue on surfaces. The heat/friction generated by pressing the crayon (colored wax) against another surface is what allows it to leave a mark. Therefore, crayons with a softer wax of a lower melting point glide easily on paper, leaving a clean mark with minimal effort.
The above diagram shows that while Crayola Crayons use a wax that melts with comparatively quickly, Roseart Crayons melt slowly and in sporadic patches. This means that the simple heat/friction of pressing a Roseart Crayon lightly against the paper is often not enough to leave a solid, clean mark.
This is the bane of colorers everywhere.
