Mandrake is one of my favourite magical plants…and I love the Foxglove lore…and don’t get me started on Hanukkah Oil…

But Dragon’s Blood is the coolest, imo. Edelweiss is pretty but the lore doesn’t appeal to me all that much, and four leaved clovers make me sorry for treating three leaved ones badly due to genetic differences. Also: dragons are amazing. I do prefer eastern ones but western ones are kinda cool too. Less mysterious and more let’s-kill-everything that goes perfectly with my I-hate-humanity vibe.

I had long had the same thoughts about BENU. Then I saw their responses to the war in Ukraine and happened to see a Hexagon-F at my local pen shop, realized how understated the design was (by BENU standards) and picked it up. Then I got the Hanukkah Talisman as a gift this year, which is not at all understated and, in fact, glows in the dark. And I also love that.

I love Benu pens. I only have one. It’s a Euphoria. I’ve had more but the story behind the brand and their vision is just amazing. Green beer? Not my jam. I don’t need to pee green water. Actually the whole concept is just an excuse to drink. I don’t need an excuse. Just do it.
