I had a chance to interview Frank Manteau, former military and the co-founder of Crayons Ready to Eat, also known as CRE, about his campaign to ship the first ever edible/colorable crayons in the world to first responders, military, and their families.
Crayons are not just for coloring anymore; you can now eat them too! Frank Manteau, a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the co-founder of Crayons Ready to Eat, just started a Business Venture campaign on Fund the First crowdfunding platform. Fund the First is a verified crowdfunding platform for our nation’s heroes to create campaigns and receive donations without having to worry about fraud or scams. Each CRE™ tastes like delicious vanilla-flavored Chocolate that is fully edible and you can write and/or color with. They are asking for support to help them ship their delicious edible crayons.
Who doesn’t love crayons? Especially kids. Adults love them too. Why not combine play with an amazing treat you can eat afterward? Frank Manteau is creating the first ever crayon you can use to color with, but eat later. The business campaign was started as an initial effort to support the startup.
Often, those with iron deficiency or Pica are usually prone to eating crayons, initially pulled-in by their mesmerizing color but ultimately seduced by their flavor. According to Crayola, children on average will go through 720 crayons in the first decade of their life; which is great for business.
The pride and honor of knowing we were able to turn this joke into a reality and we made it.
It’s hard. You miss stuff and you're not present while you’re working and you explain to them your job and the benefits that are coming out of it. But when you’re not working be present and be there."
