The kids are back in school. Did you get everything on your school supply list? Was one of the items a box of crayons?
Crayola Crayons was busy making those crayons. In fact, all summer the crayon maker has been cranking out 13 million crayons a day from its factory in Easton, Pennsylvania, a rate 8 percent higher than the rest of the year. Half of Crayola annual sales happen in the nine weeks leading up to Labor Day, and the Easton plant produces 350,000 24-count boxes every day. The wax that goes into the crayons is stored molten in silos that hold a three-day supply at a time. Pigment arrives in sacks that weigh 3.85 pounds each, and the facility goes through 450,000 pounds of wax every five days.
Crayola introduced the first box of crayons in 1903. They produced the first box of eight crayons and sold them for 5 cents.
Today, you can get the Crayola Ultimate Crayon Collection Coloring Set with 152 crayons which has a crayon sharpener and a portable caddy. The cost is about twenty dollars.
