The headline is a bit misleading, it isn't the first time they're retiring a color, it is the first time a color from the classic 24 pack will be retired though
True. But the 24 pack has only been around for 18 years, since 1999.
I mean, cant the reporters even check wikipedia before putting out a news story?!
Headline in OP's link is false, as well as the opening sentence, since they haven't even had a 24 box for even 20 yrs.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Crayola is about to do something it has never done in its 100-year history.
On Friday, the crayon company said it's retiring a color from its classic 24-count box.
