But what is the blue part of the eraser really for?

Who doesn’t remember that two-tone eraser in their school pencil case? One pink side for erasing pencils, one blue side… for what? Erasing ink? Not really. This stationery accessory actually has several often-overlooked uses. And as you’ll see, its true function is much more practical than you might think.

It’s a bit like trying to remove a wine stain with sparkling water: the intention is good, but the result is unconvincing. In reality, this blue part was designed for very different uses… but just as  interesting , especially for DIY and craft enthusiasts.
