Given that kids are likely to taste everything, I'm glad someone finally took the time to tackle that vexing problem.

Here, you can eat THESE crayons, but not those crayons over there. Crayons are for coloring and drawing. Manufacturing edible crayons is a cynical pun: "kids eat crayons? okay, here's some edible crayons. heh heh." I remember a few years back, some manufacturer came out with a little sweet drink dispenser in the shape of a pistol. You merely aimed the pistol into your mouth, and voila! A tasty drink.
