Today is National Crayola Crayon Day…

…so what did they do to celebrate? They axed one of their own. Say goodbye the signature dark yellow dandelion crayon, we knew you well. Yes, no more will we be able to color a dandelion with the proper amount of yellow because the powers that be took it upon themselves to banish it to the land of unwanted colors and how did they do it? With a tweet! Despite being a loyal employee of the crayon company since 1903 the signature dark yellow dandelion crayon has been shown the door with one simple tweet and one that didn’t even use all of the 140 character limit. No gold watch. No retirement party. No nothing. Here’s your hat now don’t let the door hit you where the sun don’t shine on the way out. It’s replacement has yet to be announced but they did say the new color will be part of the blue family and more details will be announced in May. So happy National Crayola Crayon Day a day in which I can say that at least one stick of colored wax is not celebrating.
