Yikes pencils

What are yikes pencils? What did they look like. I know they were dead popular in the early nineties, but can someone describe them to me, I can't remember!lol

I think they are pencils that have a face and a fluff of hair at the top. You spin the pencil between your hands and the hair flies all around making it look like the face is saying YIKES.

It must have been an off day. The commercial is terrible, but laughingly so.
