I’m a man of fine taste and refinement. I write only the highest quality documents on the highest quality paper with the highest quality pencils. However, when I make only the highest quality mistakes I demand that only the highest quality eraser be used to correct them. That is why on 10 August, I will be going to the highest quality stationary store to buy the Resare Premium Type Plastic Eraser – the eraser to end all erasers.
Resare is created using a special foam formula and eraser polymer blend which beats the ever-loving tar out of all erasers that came before it. It’s lighter yet stronger than other erasers. It erases cleanly with less pressure needed and also has a significant reduction in eraser shavings.
What still not impressed? While the cardboard wrapper is embossed with silver lettering the rest of the rubber is jet black. This lets you discretely rub out your mistakes by hiding the post erasing skid marks. Classy!
This masterpiece of error rectification engineering was developed by the popular stationary maker Kokuyo and will be sold for the premium price of 126 yen (US$1.60).
