CLASSIC TV COMMERCIAL - 1960s - CRAYOLA CRAYONS #5

[iluvpie20101]

if only kids would REALLY still sit in their rooms and color. not use their ipads, phones (if crazy parents give them one at 7 o_o), or using the computer.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

This commercial would've ran from 1965 to 1976. 1976 was the year the crayon wrapper design changed to the "Type 7" design (known best as "Modern Serpentine; Thin Crayola Name") which lasted to 1987.

What we see on the crayon wrappers here is the "Type 6" design known as "Modern Serpentine; Inc.; Color Above) used from 1955 to 1976.

what kind of a commercial is that

[MattTheSushi]

If life were to be black & white,you'd see someone in the Arts & Crafts aisle of Wal-Mart and see a kid staring at a 96 pack of Crayola Crayons and say:"Look,Mom!A whole box of grey!"

I remember having this in second grade.

[holbrooke7]

Artsy. :P

[JoeJonasluver823]

ppsshh i would like to acctuly see what the colors were! :P

[caturn88]

err.. b&w is not the best format for advertising colourful crayons

[pokemonfan07863]

I know how could you tell the colors? Youd have to goto a store to tell. lol. I still color with Crayola as of this day

[myhairiswaving]

That's just what I was going to say

"Wow mom! A whole box of gray!!"

you no in 40 years people are going to look at are commecials and see what they had

[dotsymae]

You can go to the crayola factory and watch them make them. The gift shop has authentic "old" boxes with original colors.

It's a great place to go...no matter how old you are.

[kstar8706]

Wait, did Crayola merge with Sprint?

[PixlPianta]

No, at least I hope not.

[loveretrochick]

Can't you just smell those crayons? I loved the big pack.

[misscalifornia09]

Hehe. Last week I asked my mom for the 64 pack with the built-in sharpener. But now I want the 150 pack...sometimes it's amusing to just stand there looking at them...

[seiku110]

NOT FAIR >:( kids today have the crappy 24 pack... nothing else! while the kids from 60's get a 64 PACK and a built in sharpener!!! crayola now hates kids ;(

[MDjew22]

thats not true. go to any store with a school supply section. they still sell the exact same thing, although with a few color changes.

[dolphincrazy101]

i know!

i got a new box last week and i saw that people were saying that they dont make em anymore and i was like, "omg! then how'd i get a new box!"

[canada647]

I remember when these things came out (64 crayons) - oh how I envied any kid that had them. I usually had the 16 or 24 crayon box. I got lucky once and got a 48 crayon box for Christmas one year, WOW! I thought I had it made. Those were the days, eh?

[brithgob]

64 crayons and built-in sharpener... (drools)
