Crayola ditches Dandelion from 24-count box

The crayon company has announced that its classic 24-color crayon box is about to get a makeover – by ditching one of its classic colors.

A 24-count box of Crayola crayons are shown, Tuesday, March 28, 2017, in NY. However, the Dandelion crayon wasn’t added until 1990! Not to put too fine a point on it, but can you live a fulfilling life and retire before the age of 30? Comments included: “Why not a different color!?!?;” “Not Dandelion yellow!” The entire crayon color offerings include 120 crayon colors in its complete selection, which include options like blue-violet, carnation pink, blue green and cerulean.

Crayola will be livestreaming the Friday event on its Facebook page. A replacement color has not been named yet.

The company was set to announce the retirement Friday, which is National Crayon Day.

This crayon box ain’t big enough for all 24 of you. “We’re also leaving a planet to our children that isn’t in very good shape and they are the ones right now who are using the crayons”, she said.

Introduced in 1949 alongside a cadre of 39 new cohorts, Prussian Blue was unceremoniously stripped of its name in 1958, after teachers continued to voice concerns that the crayon wasn’t Cold War”sensitive”. It color is so bright and vivid!;” and “I’ll tell you where I want Dandelion to go.

Those colours were replaced with inchworm, jazzberry jam, mango tango and wild blue yonder. Only boxes that already contain that specific color will remain. Goodbye, Dandelion. Gone, but never forgotten.
