Scented pens making a comeback

TOKYO – Remember those fruit-scented markers you used in elementary school? That’s so last year.

Monday's new weird trend is Lipton tea-scented ballpoint pens. Japanese pen-maker ‘Zebra’ wanted to do something special to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

The pens come in ten different scents based on teas sold in Japan, such as grape, vanilla au lait, lemon and peach. No word when they’ll hit the market, or if they will be sold in the U.S.
