Well I Was Wrong

Me wrong? Yes, it did happen that I had predicted that Crayola would withdraw the color "skin" from their 24 pack crayons. They just announced not long ago that they are taking the color "dandelion" instead. It is a good thing that I didn't bet any of my pennies that I have earned here on Mylot. From the responses I got from the previous post about the Crayola announcement, it appears that I was not the only Mylotter who was wrong on this one.
Crayola is retiring one of their own. Dandelion will no longer be a part of the 24 crayon pack. We wish him well in his retirement and look forward to seeing...

I saw the video of Dandelion's parting. I am not sure if I had used that color.

@nottoooldtowrite , It's hard to remember if we did use certain colors.

How odd, dandelion was a nice colour, I cannot understand why they are removing it.

I saw the color and it didn't look like any dandelion I've ever seen, so I think that was for the best! lol

Maybe it is for the best, anyway, Crayola got a lot of publicity about it.

I'm glad they didn't pull the flesh color. I don't even remember the dandelion color so I guess I won't miss it.

Why Dandelion I wonder? Are they replacing it with another shade of yellow?

I think the grand children love their crayons as long as they stick to the paper and not the wall paper I like it too!
