As a former Texan now living in DC, I can suspect that if Walmart also sold hard liquor it would be second behind the insulated tumblers!  :hehe

Mmmmmm...hot cocoa!

It's heartening to see so many paper towel and Crayola sales. We're a nation of tidy people who love to color.

I had the same thought about the crayons.  Television and video games dull the mind.  Let the kids color instead.   :Healing:

Why are you assuming they're being purchased for kids?

Not to do with anything, but when we had a second hurricane bear down on us shortly after a previous one, people were newly experienced at what they needed to buy to prepare for it. Walmart subsequently reported that the top purchases bought in preparation for the second hurricane were (1) strawberry Poptarts, and (2) beer.

Except there's candle making.
Using crayons for colors is cheaper/more convenient than candle wax colors.

I've actually never heard of this use for crayons.  Or if I have, then I've forgotten about it.  Thanks.   :cheers

Love it. Gotta get those priorities right.

Although, I think my list would start with red wine.  And ready salted crisps.   :icon_mrgreen:

Maybe the crayons are for adult colouring-in books  :icon_rolleyes: But I don't see any colouring-in books on the list - or any books  :icon_cry:
