We have beautiful colored paper clips here, some are yellow(banana), some are red(apple), and some are green(lime).

Just so when you put one in your mouth while holding onto your copies, you can indulge in some fruity fun.

"Miss Bliss, would you puhlease stop eating the office supplies."

You could expand this into a wide range of flavored fasteners, especially for the industrial demographic: drywall screws, framing nails, hex nuts, etc. Sometimes it seems I just can't work without a few bits of metal clamped between drawn lips, like an oral fixation linus blanket or something.

There's a real risk that small children would swallow these things.

They say scent is the sense most closely tied to memory. This could actually help people remember what the heck they were doing when they're juggling projects. [+]

I was hoping for paper-clip shaped cereal.
-- tatterdemalion, Jan 18 2013


guava flavored, yum.
-- blissmiss, Jan 20 2013


I bet that Macguiver could use the flavoring chemicals to make bombs using only paperclips now.

Flavoured Ponytail Fasteners?
-- UnaBubba, Jan 21 2013


No, I don't put those in my mouth, though I have seen others do it.
-- blissmiss, Jan 21 2013


what would the Microsoft paperclip taste like?
-- evilpenguin, Jan 21 2013


^ a staple.
-- FlyingToaster, Jan 21 2013


I was thinking licorice.
-- blissmiss, Jan 21 2013


Surely it's not beyond the realms of food engineering technology to make them actually edible as well as tasty?
-- pocmloc, Jan 22 2013


Here, beef jerky _is_ a staple. Fashioning it into an orally- graspable fastener would be a convenient time saver for a large contingent of the local workforce.
-- Alterother, Jan 23 2013


So, [Alter], how often do you jerk your own beef?
-- UnaBubba, Jan 23 2013


Never. There's a smokehouse here in Maine that jerks enough beef for all of us.
-- Alterother, Jan 23 2013


Would I need an appointment?
-- Brian the Painter, Jan 23 2013


No, you can get it at most any gas station or convenience store in the state. It's the best jerk you'll ever have.
-- Alterother, Jan 23 2013


Easily the funniest thing you've written here in a long time, [Alter]. I thought I knew jerks until I visited Maine.
