The only one I have personal experience with that’s real would be “analytical grade” with respect to chemicals. And probably Food grade. Those actually mean something.

You could probably come up with fancy terms for selling something as mundane as pencils. Instead of calling the materials wood and graphite, these marketing monkeys would probably use some fancy super high tech words instead.

These advanced pencils are designed by A.I. and use biological carbon foam encasing stacked layers of graphene!

How about throwing in some ”organic lignin composite nanomaterial” to jazz up the sales pitch. Just imagine the 300 million years of continuous development to form this fine material with extraordinary tensile properties…

“lignin” was the word I couldn’t think of, thanks! I probably should have tried to crowbar “blockchain” in there somewhere.

Oh, totally forgot about blockchains. I wonder if there’s a way to include blockchains, NFTs and cryptocurrencies into a pencil purchase. Maybe each package of pencils could come up with an NFT corresponding with the physical objects or something like that. Remember that time when people wanted to buy NFTs corresponding to a part of the world map. Well, why would you want to own the NFT of France when you can own the NFT of this pencil. :D
