It was the art set of dreams if you or your friends owned one of these!

Although owning one of these was pretty cool, you may have felt that the markers were of terrible quality, as they would 'run out of ink' really quickly.

However, a shocking discovery has left '90s kids all over the world in disbelief.

A TikTok by @fawkesandthehounds based on a Facebook post by Corina Morris reveals that you may have been supposed to refill the markers with water when they ran out of ink.

The recent video has garnered over 11 million plays and 1.5 million likes, with many commenting on how they never knew this.
