It could destroy paper when that was attempted as I recall.
It never offered to take only the ink. A hole is technically ink erased.
The blue part is not intended for use on normal paper. I don't know how how the paper it's intended for is called in English, but it is the thick, transparent paper used by architects and engineers.
Architects and civil engineers used to use thin transparent papers, that could be folded or rolled-down much better than normal paper.
Graphic designers used to use thicker paper, and of course, people always drew on wood, metals and other kinds of consumables.
Drafting vellum?
Could be. I said I don't know the English word for it.
Either Vellum or Mylar
"Transparencies" would be my guess as the word you're looking for.
They are wrong. The blue part is for snacking on. It tastes like blueberries.
Yes, it does. But only the right ink on the right paper.
So southpaws are screwed out of things yet again?
If you look closely at that picture, the red part has a picture of a pencil tip on it and the blue has a pen. Make of that what you will.
Non shit post info is that both sides are for pencil. The blue side is for heavyweight paper, and the pink is for regular paper.
Erasers for pen exist and work fine if you're writing on good quality paper. They're basically an abrasive that physically removes some of the paper and the ink along with it. IDK about the one in the post but the Pentel ZE32-Y works pretty well.
So, red pill vs blue pill, but you get a bit of both?
Well it looks like you get more red than blue, but you're still partly grounded in reality at least.
Which reality is up to the green eraser to decide...
