Buttons and hidden compartments made it feel like a spy gadget.Notes ended up so highlighted that nothing actually stood out.The compass, protractor and ruler came in a little tin that rattled with every step.Wheeling your bag down the hallway was either genius or deeply uncool, depending who you asked.Clicking between colors mid-sentence was half the fun of taking notes.Weaving colorful plastic strings into keychains was a summer camp skill.Your entire school life was saved on a tiny stick around your neck.Sharing a piece with friends was a quick way to make someone’s day.Tiny scented bottles clipped onto backpacks were everywhere.It was meant for homework, but it ended up full of doodles and notes from friends.Protecting school textbooks in colorful fabric covers was a back-to-school ritual.The black-and-white marbled cover was instantly recognizable.Tiny erasers shaped like food and animals were collected more than they were used.Rolling a neat white strip over your mistakes felt much fancier than liquid paper.It held every subject in one giant case, and it weighed about as much as a brick.
