To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Crayola 64 Box of Crayons, the crayon manufacturer went to poll the kids to create new names for 8 colors.
Suffice to say, I continue to fear for today’s youth.
Here’s the list of new colors, with the old names parenthetically notated.
- Awesome (Wild Watermelon)
- Super Happy (Laser Lemon)
- Fun in the Sun (Wild Tangerine)
- Giving Tree (Screamin’ Green)
- Bear Hug (Beaver)
- Happy Ever After (Turquoise Blue)
- Famous (Hot Magenta)
- Best Friends (Orchid)
Famous? BEST FRIENDS? These are considered color descriptions? I long for the days of red-orange.
