Palatable ink in Biros

 for inveterate pen suckers
 
(+1, -1) 		  [vote for,

There you are so absorbed in a crossword that your skin is coming out in a grid pattern when the sudden realisation hits you that there is a disgusting taste in your mouth.

As you come out of your reverie you understand why. After removing your pen from your mouth you make up a concentrated solution of Vim or drain cleaner to remove the taste.

Surely tasty ink would be a boon for all pen suckers!

       We did edible pens before, several times. I'll see if any are still around.

       I don't need edible ink, I need ink that will somehow be catalyzed to invisibility when it touches my skin! Maybe nanomechanical ink particles driven by intracellular ATP ... sure, *expensive* ink, but what's the price of one's pride?
