THE FIRST EDIBLE/COLORABLE CHOCOLATE CARYON!

We are proud and honored to introduce you to Crayons Ready-to-Eat LLC also known as CRE's

We are asking for your support to help us ship our unique delicious edible crayons. The $75,000 will cover our started up expenses, legal fees, facility rent, custom molds, licensing, certification, and permits required to scale our company. 

We will notify you once we are able to ship!


Each Pouch will Include:6 CRE's™
1 Jarhead Red
1 Squid Blue
1 Dawg Face Green
 1 Flyboy Yellow
 1 Puddle Pirate Orange
 1 Space Cadet White

Each CRE™ tastes like delicious vanilla-flavored chocolate that is fully edible and you can write and/or color with. Because of their triangle shape, you will not lose one because it rolled off your table. These are also much easier to hold and grip onto for just about any age. Easy to clean up with soap, water or your tongue for that matter, these are just about the safest crayons to be on the market. Please don't feed or let your pets eat these.

Hello Fellow Crayon Eaters!


We wanted to touch base with all of our incredible Crowdfunding donors and supporters so you can be up to date with all that you have helped us achieve here at team CRE!

Over the past several months we have been working hard with our manufacturers, packaging and mold companies to try to bring out CRE’s to mass production. As we are sure you may be aware, Global Supply Shortages coupled with severe labor shortages have hindered our process every step of the way. While we have secured the best partners, our production has continually been pushed back or delayed due to the shape of the global economy. 

 

We have received our first samples, which is beyond exciting. Watch as we taste test them for the first time! 

CLICK HERE TO WATCH!

Please know we are doing everything within our power to get to market as quickly as our suppliers allow. We greatly appreciate your patience as WE have been impatiently awaiting the reveal of our launch. 

Onto some GOOD news! 

We have finally received our shipment of new tees, as well as recently printed your Official CRE Challenge Coins for those of you that are receiving those as part of your donor tier.

See images below.

We are excited that these items will be on their way to you soon! 

If you are one of our donors in a tier to receive a t-shirt and challenge coin, please fill out the form HERE to select your t-shirt size and shipping information. These items will be shipped to you in the coming weeks. 

As we have almost approached our goal of $15K, our Fund The First crowdfunding campaign will officially close December 10th 2021. We could have never done it without each of YOU! We have appreciated your patience, support and continued cheering as we almost reach the finish line in our production process! Entrepreneurship is definitely a marathon and not a sprint. 

As we await manufacturing dates, we will continue to work in completing our Veteran CRE  Coloring Book. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn to stay in the loop as we launch this project. 

Please share anything you see fit on our social media with your followers to help us hit our target goals and our Crowdfunding campaign. Let’s “Make Everyone a Crayon Eater One CRE at a Time.” Please use #crayoneatersunite when posting so we can see it.

UPDATE #2

Hello Fellow Crayon Eaters!

We wanted  to send you all an update on our amazing crowdfunding progress. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and for spreading the word about our Veteran owned small business and wanting to help us to ship our delicious CRE’s. Because of you we have raised over $11K on our Crowdfunding Campaign!

And we are slowly and steadily heading towards our next goal of $15K that is quickly approaching.  With these funds we are working hard with a copacking facility to work through formulation, and quality control and all of the things needed to become a nation-wide product. 

And NONE of this would be possible without each of you! Our next crowdfunding goals are listed here and you can help us reach these incredible stages by sharing our campaign, donating or increasing your donation-

  • $15K-Down Payment on our Production Facility 

  • $25K-First large Batch Run 

  • $50K-Packaging, Marketing and Technology Costs

For those that have already donated, your donation deliverables will be arriving when:

  • CRE’s-When we can get fully functioning

  • T-Shirts-We will be sending a separate email with instructions to submit size. These will be ordered soon and should arrive to our current donors by end of May. 

  • Coins-We are currently sourcing a Veteran/Military Spouse owned business to produce these and hope to include these with the T-Shirts (for those that have this item included within your tier). 

As a thank you, one lucky winner that donated to one of our fundraising tiers will find a Golden Ticket in one pouch of our CRE’s. That Golden ticket will get you a prize box filled with CRE Swag and a bunch of other goodies from fellow Veteran Owned Businesses that we have teamed up with proudly sponsored by Combat Boxes, who is helping to put this prize box together.

Be sure to continue to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn to stay in the loop.
