But they do highlight like a boss.

Chunky good for unecessarily highlighting text that you are never sure why you highlighted it in the first place…

Square highlighters are wrong, you cant grip squared off pens, you need these. And look, its the XT version

Badoom-tish etc.

There are lots of regular size highlighters around, like Pilot, Tetras, etc.

Every chance I got I’d nick ’em out the stationary cupboard at work have quite a collection now. I have a couple that are biro at one end and yellow highlighter at the other I got on training courses ….. they rock my world.
