This box of pencils packs a cheesy punch! Leave it to a German ad agency to think up this cute — and practical! — way to transport and serve Parmesan cheese. But are they coming to the United States anytime soon?
Disguised as run-of-the-mill over-sized pencils, the "leads" of these pencils are actually flavored Parmesan cheese. Each set comes with a sharpener, allowing one to shave truffle, chili, and pesto flavored Parmesan right from the pencils. Too bad there were only 500 made -- we think they'd fly off the shelves on this side of the pond!

OMG. My friend would love these. He's a foodie and every Christmas I try to find him something unusual for the kitchen.
