UPDATED: 12:18 pm EDT April 10, 2008
Crayola celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Crayola 64 Box with the introduction of eight new "Kids' Choice Colors."
The iconic box, complete with a built-in sharpener, first debuted on the Captain Kangaroo show in 1958.
To celebrate the anniversary, Crayola introduced eight new colors selected by children to tell a story about what's important to today's youth.
The new colors include Super Happy, Fun in the Sun, Giving Tree, Bear Hug, Awesome, Happy Ever After, Famous and Best Friends.
More than 200 million Crayola 64 Boxes have been sold over the last 50 years, according to the company's Web site.
Baby puke yellow and baby poop green readily come to mind.
I'm a big fan of beaver.
yeah, we had newspapers...
AFTER the bird and dog were done with them...but we LIKED it that way!
I used to melt them on the radiators at school - the radiators had metal covers with lots of horizontal vent openings on top that were just wide enough to support a crayon (with the paper wrapper removed, of course) lengthwise - until the moment when the crayon was melted enough to fall through the vent cover onto the radiator and then splat on the floor...
That box was a status symbol in the first grade. A cigar box with loose & broken crayons just wouldn’t cut it!
“My Two Daddies” pink?
When I ws a poor young programmer, I couldn’t afford 1’s. Had to program entirely with 0’s.
