patgundColorful new names for eight crayons
"Gone is wild watermelon. Now it will be called awesome. That's just one of the name changes of eight colors in the Crayola 64 box that was announced earlier today at the Toys R Us in Times Square in New York City. The newly named colors are aimed at appealing to a new generation of children, more than 20,000 of whom picked the names in an online poll. The Crayola 64 box made its television debut in 1958 on the Captain Kangaroo Show.
Here are the other old names followed by the new names:
laser lemon, super happy
wild tangerine, fun in the sun
screamin' green, giving tree
beaver, bear hug
turquoise blue, happy ever after
hot magenta, famous
orchid, best friends."
Call me old fashioned, but "awesome", "super happy", "fun in the sun", "beaver", "bear hug", "happy ever after", "famous", and "best friends" ARE NOT COLOURS!!! The old names at least SAID what colour the crayon was.
They need to name the brown crayon in this box "ton o' crap"
