Food?

Macaroni and Cheese. Apricot. Granny Smith Apple. Salmon. Pink Sherbert. Asparagus. Eggplant.

Yes, these are some tasty food that I like. But more interestingly--not that food by itself isn't infinitely interesting--they are all current Crayola crayon colors. Talk about creative! Back in the day, when I was just a young child (because I am sooo old now...not), Macaroni and Cheese was the coolest, most unique, and only food-named crayon around. Obviously, Crayola has been doing some renaming.

I would definitely check out this Crayola website:. It has the history behind each current color. Vivid tangerine was actually introduced in 1990. I guess I missed that one.

In the mood for a coloring book,

  1. I had no idea that there were such origional crayon names! atomic tangerine, beaver, electric lime, fuzzy wuzzy brown, jazzberry jam, and mountain meadow-- I'm sure these weren't crayon colors when I was using Crayola products....
