-Red is Cherry
-Sky Blue is Blueberry Slushy
-Sunny Yellow is Banana Split
-Turquoise Blue is Mango

I hope that this helps you! (it kinda makes me hungry)

Corporate trainers and teachers have been noticing for two years that the quality of Mr.Sketch markers has dropped significantly. The tips do not write well and they are not "juicy" enough, so letters on a flip chart can no longer be seen at a distance. Calling the company (contact information below) just confirms that they know they have a problem and are "working on it" but there is no solution yet. Very disappointing for us very loyal customers who have insisted on what were the best writing, non-toxic, brilliant colored markers out there at a reasonable price. Please join in and urge them to return to their prior quality. Newell Rubbermaid Office Products Group (formerly Sanford)

I love Mr. Sketch markers. I bought a pack for my children a few years ago and they lasted for so long. It's amazing how much color they pack into each fun scented marker. I just bought a new pack for my daughter and they were just as good as the ones purchased 3 years ago. My kids are excellent about taking good care of the markers. They put the caps back on after use, and then I put them away in a cabinet until the next use, unlike the cheaper brands of markers. All the scents are wonderful (well, except for licorice!). My only complaint is that years ago these used to come in a styrofoam-like container with a sliding cover. I really prefer that to the box because after so much use the box wears out despite taping and retaping every couple of months.

I have loved Mr. Sketch scented markers since I was a little kid. About a year ago, I bought a set of them to use at work and they were perfect...just like I remembered them. Today I went to the store to purchase replacements, as they old ones are starting to wear out, and was horribly dissapointed.

The quality of this product has greatly deteriorated. The old markers had nice quality chisel tips. The new markers have a cheap piece of felt cut at an angle and stuck in the end. They do not color nicely at all, and trying to use them is very frustrating. They also do not smell as strongly as the old markers did.

I am urging you all out there NOT to buy these markers. They are not what you are expecting.

i just got these the other day i highly recomend them!
i like all there flavors and if you want a few fun games to play try this put in a bag and pull 2 out and smell them together and/or do a smell test!i love orange and blue slushie or banana!my teacher has them in her class room and evry body uses them and they are bright they are a little more expensive but its worth buying them its not a doubt! scented markers rule

Mr. Sketck scented parfumes aromatizados - with SIX new scents. Oh what fun. My son absolutely loves these markers. We got this new box for the new scents (school is starting soon) and it's a small price to pay for joy and a little motivation to return to the daily grind.

These are the fatter markers (not for precise drawing). They're great for larger projects and collering in big pictures. I've been surprised on how long they last. With proper care and keeping the lids on, they last longer than regular markers.

The smells! They're pretty strong. Thankfully, they're non-toxic because it can be worrysome when your child is stuffing markers up their nose for a whiff. These the child can smell without getting ink all over their face. And their picture will smell nice too - but if they use all the colors its hard to distinct which ones are on the page.

Colors and smells include: Black/Licorice, Red/Cherry, Blue/Blueberry, Green/Mint, Pink/Melon, Turqouise/Mango, Yellow/Lemon, Orange/orange, Brown/Cinnamon (my favorite!), Purple/Grape, Dark Green/Apple, Magenta/Rasberry, Pink/Bubble Gum, Lavender/Cotton Candy, Lt. Yellow/Banana Split, Peach/Peach, Lt. Blue/Blue Rasberry Slushy, Lt. Green/Tropical Punch.

I used to use these markers in grade school, middle school, high school and college. And now my kids are having so much fun with them. They love using them in their activity books and coloring books. They are more pricey than Crayola or Rose Art, but well worth the extra cost. They are fun and last a long, long time. You definitely will not be disappointed!

I'm a daycare mom and my first set of MR.SKETCH markers lasted me 7 years! I love the fruity scents and they print so nicely. I was excited to see them available in a larger set. I use them for nametag making, parent memos and tracing activities. They work much better and are a sturdier although pricier marker then crayola. You won't be disapointed.

You wonder what Sanford (the makers of Mr. Sketch) was thinking. The had a great product. Then they RUINED it. Like Coke did with "New' Coke in the 80s! Does Stanford REALLY think kids were buying all these markers?? Corporate trainers have been using Mr Sketch as flip chart markers for some 20 years. They were the best, hands down. Far better than Sanford's own Flip Chart Markers.

Then last year they introduced Mr Sketch with the new chisel tip. And they ruined their own product.

Not sure what the benefits of the new tip are. Maybe they think the tip, which is harder, will last longer? But it doesn't. And the harder tip does not produce the bold colors the old tip did. And they seem to run dry quicker. I think the harder tip fails faster.

Sanford, and their parent, Newell Rubbermaid, need to wake up. Bring the old product back. Get rid of this pice of garbage product.

And readers, if you are looking for the old tried and true Mr Sketch, this isn't it. It's no longer available.

These markers are great! I bought them for my nephew who loves them. (These were actually an upgrade for him, as I had previously purchased him the 12-pack.) The scent will last as long as the markers do, which is a long time. Mr. Sketch has been around since I was a kid (I'm 29 now) and they are as great as I remember! Any kid would love these.
