Summary: Crayola is retiring the yellowish dandelion crayon from its rainbow of colors. The company had plans for a big announcement Friday about which crayon would be pulled from its classic box of 24. The marketing campaign featured an animated crayon named Dan D., going on adventures and enjoying his golden years. But before Crayola could give dandelion the pink slip, a Target shopper apparently spotted the announcement on a crayon box in the wild and alerted the internet. Another spoiler: The packaging on the 120-pack, announcing the retirement, says, "Name the new color for a chance to win!" Crayola didn't immediately announce which color would replace dandelion. But it did wax nostalgic with a crayon tribute video.
Analysis: This article was published by Madison Park from CNN on April 6, 2017. She uses a third person point of view to convey an unbiased point of view. Additionally, I had absolutely no preview knowledge of this topic, so this article made me realize how important our popular culture is. This article was written for any citizen of the United States who is interested in coloring, especially children. It was published for an informative purpose of enabling the people to learn more about how important we believe are popular culture is. This entire article could link directly to the rise of the "me" age in the 1970s. This was when people became more involved in the way they looked and less focused on political issues.
