Crayola Asks Fans To Help Name New Crayon, Twitter Responds Colorfully

Crayola is asking fans to help name its new crayon and, naturally, Twitter is quick on the draw.

On Thursday, Crayola announced that it will retire the classic yellow crayon, Dandelion, from its 24-pack. Then, on Friday, the company revealed via Facebook that it plans to replace Dandelion with a new color.
