Maybe it's hipster appeal? shrug I don't get it but if this product found a niche and it's selling (or will sell) good for them!

From ye olde Wikipedia: "Bisphenol A is a preferred color developer in carbonless copy paper and thermal paper, with the most common public exposure coming from some thermal point of sale receipt paper." The next question would be: what is the uptake of handling thermal paper like, as compared to the usual examples of eating food from cans that have BPA in their liners, or drinking from bottles that have BPA in the plastic?
