The Life & Death of a Sharpie
PROBLEM:
Everyone knows about Sharpies. But they don't know one crucial thing: How long does a single sharpie last?
SOLUTION
:
Create an interactive experiment that tests a sharpie's endurance—and people's expectations.
THE LIFE & DEATH OF A SHARPIE
A Facebook Live experiment where I doodled with a new Sharpie until its ink ran out.
THE POST

Viewers were encouraged to participate by guessing how many hours of doodling the sharpie would last for.
The person with the closest guess got to keep the finished doodle.
THE GUESSES
The guesses Ranged from 2 hours to 3 days, proving the insight that no one really knew how long a sharpie would last.

FUN FACT:
After doodling for almost 6.5 hours, my hand went completely numb. It stayed that way for the next two months. It was totally worth it.
