== Tiffany Blue ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So, turning the corner from unicorn snot to Tiffany blue. I wanted to put this in the show notes because my jaw hit the floor. And it kind of shouldn't have. Even though, you know, thank you Elaine for sending over the link to this because I haven't seen this before. But this is a pen that's available on the Tiffany jewelry. If you're familiar with them, the Tiffany blue. Real pretty color. Lovely designs. Very expensive products. Tiffany. That Tiffany. They essentially have a Sharpie in the Tiffany style. Which could be yours, Myke. For the low sum of $750. How many do you want?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Look, here's the thing. I think this is amazing. Right? I think this is amazing. It kind of is. I'm never going to buy it, but I think it's fantastic. Do you think that it is a Tiffany blue ink? No. That's what I want to know. And that's what they should do, right? It should be a Sharpie, which is Tiffany blue. That would be amazing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't see a picture with this uncapped, which is what I want to see. Yeah. And they don't say specifically in the descriptions the phrase or word Sharpie. They say refillable with standard size permanent markers. I reckon you put the entire marker in this thing. Well, Sharpie has a refill, right? But it includes the grip section, which is black plastic.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Scroll down. It's there. Where? If you scroll down on the page, there is like a picture, like a banner called Everyday Objects. And they have the pen uncapped and it looks like it is blue.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. Do you see it? I see that. I see it on the table now by the coffee cup. Yeah. And it does look like a teal blue. Okay. Well, I wonder if you can buy refills. Now we need to go shopping for refills on their site. So let's do this live.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think that this is kind of incredible, like in the worst possible way. Do you know what I mean? This is so ridiculous. But that's why I like it because it's $750. Like they are owning it. Like they are just owning. Like this is what it is. This is what we make. We make a $750 Sharpie. If you don't want it, that's fine. You don't have to buy it. That's kind of how I look at this thing. And it's like, all right. Like if that's what you want to do, you just go for it. It's £705 apparently.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So there's paper cup, bone china. There's pencils in this picture. But why can't I search their site very well? I want the refills for this thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I'm looking at their writing instruments page and it doesn't look like they have refills for sale.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Honestly. All right. How much are the pencils? The pencils are in the image. But they're not in the writing instruments page. I don't know if they sell those pencils.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Interesting. So we'll have more news on the Tiffany permanent link refill.

'''Myke Hurley:''' If anybody out there knows more about this, we would love to know it because this is absolutely fascinating to me. Like I think it's kind of hilarious and wonderful.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, so the color is on the balloon. That's what's written on the balloon. Now that good works. The smiley face.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yes, that is it. There's like we're really weird. So by the way, you want to check out our show notes for these images.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is at related.fm slash pan addict slash 282. Because otherwise we sound like bonkers people. But yeah, you can see when you go down the page, there is this image. And yeah, there's a balloon that's got drawing on it. And the color of the ink on the balloon is Tiffany blue. So maybe they do put a Tiffany blue refill in it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So we've essentially lost our minds over a $750 Sharpie.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, you know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I guess that's what we do, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Like what are you going to do? Like it's ridiculous and wonderful and it's dumb. And I kind of love it. I'm never going to buy it. But I think it's hilarious that they did it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' This is pan addict life right here. Someone at Tiffany's listening. They said, we need to do this. Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why not though? Right? Because this is, you know, people are either going to buy it or they're not going to buy it. Like this is the type of brand for that kind of thing, I guess. Right? Like it's. Right. Right. You know, like most of this stuff, they're not going to sell a lot of units of. Like there's a $235 Sterling Silver straw on this page.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'd rather have the Sharpie.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's a 285 pound yo-yo.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Now we're talking though. Oh yeah? You're up for the yo-yo? No. I still might go Sharpie.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What about a 260 pound pencil sharpener? Oh, I'm there. And glass and Sterling Silver. I can find a pencil sharpener and a ruler, a harmonica and golf tees, but no pencils. I can't find the pencils.
