120 colors. Remember,if you saw someone with a 64 pack plus the sharpener,you thought they were rich.
That was me as a kid. My family was very poor, but my mom would always get me paper and crayons. When it came to her kids, she always had priorities. haha
@@robertgronewold3326 It sucked growing up poor,but you learned to appreciate things.
Yep as a kid that was a awesome gift.
@@robertgronewold3326same! When I was little I would use construction paper and crayons to write my mom "I'm sorry" notes when I acted up hoping to get her mushy enough to forget about punishing me since the main punishment was no McDonald's on the weekend. 😂
Yuhhh I remember having that crayon tower that had a sharpener in the middle! It collapsed too so it didn’t take up that much space! Eventually after drawing with them for a bit- we got a crayon maker kit where we would melt down crayons to make new ones in different colors! This was yeeeeears ago tho:3 but I remember having it!
I love crayons! I'm 63 years old and now I'm heading to the store to buy some after 55 years of not having any.
Great
That's too long without crayons!! Run quickly! You must be reunited 🎉
I kinda want to break out my old crayon box and start coloring
Keep us posted
I'm 61 and I love crayons too. My favorite color was periwinkle. It was such a beautiful shade of purple/blue.
"Crayola makes the best crayons in the world. Let's take a look at how Rose Art does it though."
I know right, its so weird. I think the one mister rogers showed was Crayola when he did a “how it’s made” segment on his show
What’s weird is it you looks it’s both Rosa art AND Crayola being made depending on the video segment supposedly in the same factory on the same lines in a supposedly dedicated Crayola Factory. Was this AI generated? Any human would know that Rosa art crayons and crayola crayons are COMPLETELY different. Different textures, different pigment payout, different feel, different owners. Like I knew the title card was ai generated but I wasn’t expecting the video itself to be.
Yeah, I thought we were heading to Pittsburgh for the Crayola factory.
@DeathyAS I think entire channel might be...it's oldest video showed up around the same time as all the AI hype.
@@DeathyAS how do you mean it was AI generated? Like there is no actual crayons being made and its just cgi?
Rose Art crayons: when you want the look of crayons, but the colouring ability of a candle.
157 likes and zero comments
it's unanimous
In my printing career, companies I worked with printed the boxes that Rose Art crayons were packaged in!
@@johnfpotega2017 oh that's so cool! More pigment in the box than the crayons hahaha
>Rose Art crayons: when you want the look of crayons, but the colouring ability of a candle.<
Exactly! Rose Art is horrible!
Haven't seen that brand over here, but all crayons are pretty awful. Even as a kid, it was pastels for me
Thumbnail: the most whimsical factory you've ever seen
Video: in-depth history of crayon production, and the Crayola corporation.
Thumbnail is AI generated because this channel has no quality control whatsoever.
I went back and zoomed in. Thumbnail is definitely AI generated.
i wouldn't be surprised if the voiceover and script are AI-generated too. doesn't quite sound human - and if they're willing to use AI to make clickbait thumbnails, they're probably willing to use it to cut down on production time.
@@mozarteanchaos It most certainly is. Certain words are pronounced weird and the script goes from explain what was is to assuming you know how industrial machines work. There's no consistency to the intended audience.
They also say "according to a statistic..." which is such a non-phrase. It's like saying "according to this thing I'm about to say..." It just doesn't make any sense.
And footage from the Rose Art crayon assembly line. 7:00
They're not just for children either. Many adults still colour with crayons, I'm proud to say I'm one of them.
Helps w anxiety
I'm sorry to report but you are still a child... that's a good thing!
I prefer color pencils, but I do love to color.
Same!!!
I still color with traditional crayons such as Crayola. Much like my colored pencil collection has expanded to other brands and types, so has my crayon collection. I have artist gel crayons and C’arand’ache Neocolor crayons as well.
I remember Mr. Rogers showed us how crayons were made. 💜
OMG! You're calling out a core childhood memory. Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood was part of my childhood.🥺
Some of the footage in this video is straight out of that episode!
That footage was also on Sesame Street. So I ended up getting a double-dose of "how-it's-made" awesomeness. 😁😁
That episode is one of my favorites. That and the one where he showed how balloons were made.
That was my favorite episode. 😀
Seeing the Crayola and Rose Art labels was like a great product vs. below average product. Nothing beats a Crayola crayon!
Definitely! And then if you've got the $$, Prismacolor colored pencils are where it's at, if you prefer colored pencils. I like watercolor pencils myself. All you do is draw what you want on the paper, then use a small-to-medium sized, dampened paintbrush to get the watercolor part of things going. It's a great way to introduce yourself to watercolor painting without buying the 7-color "school kid's palette" or a bunch of tube paints you might not ever use if watercolor turns out not to be your jam. 😅
@@a.katherinesuetterlin3028 Yesss Prismacolor. Those are the only color pencils that can actually erase cleanly. I love them.
@@a.katherinesuetterlin3028 I bought some coloured pencils from Wish- hear me out- They are "Raffine" by marco. Really good quality. I also found some from Wish that have 7 different colours per lead. Fun rainbow spectrum colouring with those.
SANTA brought me a new box of Crayola crayons every Christmas! Each year the box was a bigger box than the year before! Everything got colored and collected and hung around the house…….loved the colors and what you could do with them! Fast forward, as an adult, got recruited and entered into the “High End 4/color process “ printing industry, where I worked for large and small process printing companies, including the newer “digital “ plants of the time………spent some 30 years in that industry, loved every minute of it…….. and I believe it was all because of my Crayola crayons, every Christmas 😊!
You’re a bot 😂
What a great story! ❤💙💛
I would have loved to have worked in High End 4 Color print shop. I ran single colour presses. We mostly produced business cards and other business stationery. I loved that job.
Ahhh, I remember coloring the walls with these. Wait, that didn't end well. lol
Imagine believing in santa 🤡
The smell is so distinctive they have. You could pick it out anywhere.
It's the same smell as candles 🙄
I love the smell of crayons (and pencils too for that matter!)
Does anyone else remember the old Sesame St. segment showing how they made crayons? This is bringing that feeling back real hard. ❤
Yes!! That opening clip of the macaroni-and-cheese colored wax unlocked a childhood memory I didn’t even know I had! 🤯
Ohh, yeah! That was one of my favorites!! 😁
Some of the clips in this video are from the Sesame Street segment on crayons.
The segment is available on the sesame street TH-cam channel. If you want to hear that music again :)
I don’t remember ever watching a Sesame St episode but for some reason I know exactly what you’re talking about lol
Everyone on here should go to the Crayola Factory in Pennsylvania its amazing! I went years ago when my daughter was 8 it left a monumental effect in my mind I am now in my earlie 60's and am going to visit again with my grown daughter because she wants to...
yeah!!!
When I went to the hospital, I gave a box of all red crayons to the nurse. She looked at me confused and asked why. I told her so that she could draw blood. 🥁
😂😂😂 terribly good
And the award for best mixture between a dad joke and a clever song lyric goes to you.
Good one!! 😄
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Proud to be from Easton, Pennsylvania, where much of this video was made! The actual plant has been in the suburbs for decades, but the Crayola Experience downtown is a beautiful attraction for all ages!
Today, Crayola's a Hallmark company.
@ameliadiaz8040 as of around 1984. Crayola was founded in Easton, PA in 1903 and has remained there ever since. I live about 2-3 miles from the factory dhown in the video. Worked there in the summers while I was in college.
Do they have a place like Lego that lets you tour and then make your own?
37 year old married woman, watching crayons being made on. Friday night♥️♥️. I love it here
Same😂
I'm 63, also watching how crayons are made on my Friday night 😂
44 yr old woman married watching also.
Same! Just turned 37 yesterday!
Same! It's also Friday night for me too! Haha!
Growing up in Texas on the Mexico border, we stored out crayons in the refrigerator
Same here in Australia 😂
Me from the Valley. I understand it's hot as hell here.
Mr. Rogers taught us this when we were kids. It was magic.
Crayola crayons are the best. I'm almost 75 and have always had a box of Crayolas in the house. The ones with glitter look pretty cool. I think I'll get some of those. 🙂🙆🖍
They are fun! My kids and I love the glitter ones, too!
The glitter ones and the metallic ones
I have all kinds of art supplies, including crayons, I need to get the glitter ones too!
What really blows my mind is that there is enough demand that that many be made daily. I buy crayons like once every few years. Even with school supplies every year, I'm still blown away by those numbers.
All the children gobbling them down at terminal velocity ;)
same. exactly the same.
are there really that many people holy f!
Marine here love watching how my favorite food is made.
😂
Same here I watch it over and over
Why is it said marines eat crayons? Is it suggested that marines are dumb? Surely eating glue would be a better euphemism?
I was literally only checking out this video to look for the Marine corp joke.
My siblings and I drew on the hot radiator in the playroom, our parents weren't upset and said only do this on the playroom radiator.
I did this on a white lamp with a 100 watt bulb. Dad wasn't mad about it either, it was my lamp, in my room
Clearly, my childhood was not filled with the wonder of exploration it should have had. Given who my parents were, this allowed me to reach adulthood.
We let our daughter paint her own mural on her wall
When I was little, and I saw another kid with a 48 or 64 color box I used to think they were rich.
A 120 color box?!
That was God-tier wealth!
Watching this makes my heart smile ❤️ Crayola started me in my love of Art…I have many different Art supplies but even at the age of 40 nothings better than opening a new big box of crayola crayons 😊 the smell and everything bring me back to happy memories 🤓
I've had crayons for over 55 years and to this day Midnight Blue and Brick Red are still my favorite colors. 😊💕
It’s fun to take the broken ones, melt them a bit and make an odd rainbow brick that can then be used as a larger crayon.
Took lots of shards and ironed them between pages of waxed paper for a cool stained glass look. Of course, that was when waxed paper was actually waxed ...
Yes! What we did in the 70s and 80s when we couldn't afford brand new crayons. We made beautiful colors.
I like doing this with Teletubbies
Amazing! Given all that goes into the making of these crayons I have a whole new respect for Crayola for keeping the cost effective for most all demographic to be able to afford buying and using them. Fascinating - thanks for ending the mystery of how they're made. Great presentation 😊
Man talk about making me feel old "Crayons were created in the 1900s" as if that was that long ago...
Well 1903 is old, it’s 20 years before my grandmother was born.
@@staciecarrel4492 Yeah I know, it's just I've lived most of my life in the 1900s
Well, you are indeed old haha. There’s nothing wrong with being old though, it’s not a negative thing
Yeah, I don't like this trend I'm noticing about people saying "the 1900s." Dammit, be specific, 1950s, 1980s etc. "hundreds" is reserved for 1800s and earlier, with the one exception of "early 1900s" for the period from 1900-1909. Now get off my lawn. :)
It's even worse, as he says, _"back_ in the 1900s". Way, way back. You know --- _that_ era. Dontcha know how people used to dress in.... you know... the 1900s?
I am 73 years old AND I still love to color !!! I have crayons and coloring books in my house !!! But this is the 1st time I have seen crayons being made !!! Thank you for sharing and caring !!! 🎈👏🏿🙌🏼👊😎🥰⭕️❌
"Cyndrillical' ... excellent
Good, someone else noticed 😄
Good, someone else noticed 😄
English is not my native tongue, so I had to Google it to make sure I heard it right... or well, wrong. 😹
At 6:02/6:03 - that's in downtown Easton, PA. The Crayola Factory Museum. You can watch them make crayons and markers inside. There's also a rotating exhibit on one of the floors. This is my hometown. Also where Larry Holmes, Marco Panuccio and Mario Andretti are from.
120 colors! I know a marine who will be excited by how many different flavours there will be!
Marines everywhere are watching this intently.
I'm very glad they reuse so much. I was really worried when I saw that flat layer on top of the mould
Fun watching this and knowing they DON'T WASTE the extra and excess and just remake new crayons 😂
They don't do it because of good ethics... they do it to increase profits. Same with all big companies
I remember thinking of all the artwork I could make whenever I got a new box! I remember the smell of the crayons too. I live by the Crayola factory and it makes for a great class trip.
0:28 "According to a statistic"??? lol...I am using that for my next business presentation 😂😂
Watching as a Marine, my mouth is watering!
🤤
Ever since I was a kid I knew that crayons were basically a “fancy” type of wax, but I had absolutely no idea just how complex the process in making them was!!!
All the marines drooling at all the different colors.
I always wondered why they tasted so colorful!
😂😂😂😂😂
What a great job to have knowing you are making children and some adults so happy every day with the product you create. Seems silly I'm sure but I would be so happy knowing that I did if it was me
Opening my crayon box in grade school and smelling crayons was a childhood memory.
"Back in the 1900s." God, I feel old.
@@tobleroonie5043 they said 1900s, not 19th century. Please tell me you know the difference.
@@loganbutler1016The 19th century is the period from 1800-1899, because centuries are counted from 1. The 1900’s is the period from 1900-1999, because those all start with 19 hundreds.
@@trevinbeattie4888 Duh. That's precisely what I was saying. This is why my original comment makes sense and @tobleroonie5043's comment doesn't.
This reminds me of how it's made. Nostalgia
The BlackBean CMS plug❤ 1:15
❤
Today kids want the latest cellphone 📱, iPad or gaming console. When I was growing up if you were really, really lucky your parents or parent got you the 64 color crayons 🖍️ and a new coloring book or paper to draw and make things! That’s how we measured things!
And if your crayon box happened to have a sharpener on the back, you were golden😂😂
@@vitamartynyuk611 Yes.
I love the unique smell of Crayola crayons!
This was so cool! I love learning how things are made and the facts about how much paraffin they go through on a single day is substantially unbelievable! Their heating bill to keep that paraffin wax at liquid temperature must be outrageous!
Blackbean CMS at 1:15! It’s so cool that he made it into this video.
I watched his portrait only using Crayola crayons and loved it.
I can’t wait to share this video with my elementary art students. ❤
There used to be a Crayola factory in Winfield, Kansas, about forty miles from my home in Wichita. I went on a tour there when I was in Boy Scouts, in the early sixties. It was a great tour! But (sigh) it was closed in the late sixties.
Too bad it’s not still there. That would be interesting to visit.
Binney & Smith is the name of the company you toured, and retirees gave tours well into the 1990's. We made Crayola brand crayons and markers, Liquitex brand acrylic and oil paints, and Crayola brand Tempera paint. Sadly the manufacturing plant was closed in 1997.
I love how they managed to put Marines in this video.
Subtle but masterful nod.
the only problem now is which of the 120 flavors is my buddy's favorite....
Who knew something could be flammable AND non-toxic at the same time.
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that😂😂 I never knew non toxic required a face mask in order to handle it either🤦♀️🤦♀️💀💀🤣🤣😉😉🤫🤫😆😆
@@jennifermoody6987to be fair, just because something is nontoxic doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous to breath in. It’s what’s floating in the air that’s a hazard, such as wearing a mask when you’re shaving wood
Oh man the sight of Crayola crayons took me straight to my childhood.
It took me straight back to last week, when I colored with them, lol.
"According to a statistic..." That is a heck of a reference.
Growing up, I only ever had an 8 pack of crayons. I only knew one kid who had the big box with a sharpener. I was so jealous. Two years ago, at the age of 62, I bought a box of 120 crayons and a 24 pack of colors of the world. You’re never too old for crayons and coloring. 🖍️😄
4:36 Was it just me or he said "The familiar "cyndrilical" shape"?
Nope, not just you 😂
He did! 😹
*Fascinating process! It's amazing to see how these colorful tools we love come to life*
Fun fact. Minus the commentary, parts of this video, is the same old video Mr Rogers showed us in Mr Roger's neighborhood. 😊
Sesame Street's video also.
It being based on two videos explains why it explains the process twice (with different ingredients, no less) before casting it in “cyndrillical” molds…
I love how you guys are using the classic Sesame Street crayons video
You guys are putting out some awesome videos on interesting products.
It’s all AI generated and full of errors. So many errors!
@@prestonmiller6528 Maybe, but I'm not writing a college thesis, I'm just watching the cool machinery work.
1:12 orange as macaroni and cheese must be the reason why its preferred choice of US marines....😂
I love the smell of a new box of Crayola crayons 😊
I used to have a computer game called The Crayon Factory and honestly watching the assembly line of the crayons in this video took me right back to how they showed it in the game.
You need an editor. [4:37] cyndrilical shape. [4:59] specialized blade that can be recycled. [5:40] an entire factory floor to make a single crayon for a day or more.
The whole channel is just AI generated content, from the scripts to the voice to the thumbnails. I doubt there's much human intervention at all. Ignore content you see like this, show TH-cam and people that low quality shlock like this doesn't work.
These videos are AI generated. The same "cyndrillical" error is at 4:02 in this video: th-cam.com/video/qpfmotctC_o/w-d-xo.html
@@needamuffinI performed the voiceover for this video, and I can assure you it is not AI.
That was awesome, I love the smell of a brand new box of crayons 🎉🎉
I remember when I first saw a box of specifically "skin tone" crayons at the store. I was like: "HOLY CRAYONS! I don't have to draw orange humans anymore!"
Yeah they got a lot of pressure to make more than one skin tone which is good
Having been an Elementary School Teacher...one of the things I remember most about walking into school each day is how the school always smelled like crayons! 🍎🖍❤
I went to the factory tour and the museum in Easton PA.
Really cool
Love seeing footage from the old Sesame Street short about making crayons. ❤
Thank you. that's one video that really makes sense.
I also bought my daughter at the time a 😊Crayola Crayon maker it was the best thing I ever bought her
The... Orange... Tree?
Renkli çok renkli teşekkürler ❤
And some pallets are shipped off to Marine bases to be packed into each MRE.
Thank you for feeding the Marines
Where I grew up here in Australia, our crayons would always melt because it would get so hot in summer
Even during Christmas season! 🎄
@@ameliadiaz8040 always🤣 unless of course we were lucky enough to get rain but the humidity was a killer
@@walter9724
Oh, for crying out loud!
@@ameliadiaz8040 what
Marines everywhere salivating
Has anyone ever actually finished a crayon, or are they all just lost at some point.
No. The dog finds them and eats them. She has colourful poop.
most of them are almost complete and thrown away what a waste for real
I remember that feeling! Having a 64-pack of crayons, especially with the built-in sharpener, was like the ultimate status symbol in school. If someone had the 120-color pack, it was a whole other level! It’s funny how something as simple as a crayon box could make such an impression back then. It’s a nostalgic reminder of how those small things could make you feel like you had it all!
drooling rn omg those look so good
I worked at Crayola for 31 years. Two of my friends are in this video.
I live near the factory and the crayola factory where kids can go to test new colors and products.
Kids go there to test them out? That must've sounded like a lot of fun.
Wow, all the colors!
This is amazing product your friend Ricky hernandez from Northridge California 😊😊🎉🎉😊😊
4:37 the narrator said “cindrylical” whatever that is. Hahaha
Shaped like a cyndriler.
I like the Mr. Rogers version better.
Crayons are popular by mostly preschoolers and grade students. Professional artists like Leonardo da Vinci would use them due to the tip's thickness.🖍
What about the flavored ones they ship to the USMC?
😂
Filians favourite snack. If you know, you know.
I’m sorry, but the crayons of my youth were far better than what’s used today.
That’s what I came to say. Pencil crayons also. Such poor quality now.
No offense to either of you, but IS ANYTHING OF HIGH QUALITY THESE DAYS?????????????
I'm so glad you wrote this observation. I wondered if it was my imagination that Crayola from the 1960s had a softer more spreadable texture and a richer pigment? I think Prang's are very good too! There are Soy formula crayons now that are biodegradable. They are very soft.
@@HannTheftAudio lol very true. Good point.
Probably artist grade, if that is in crayons. @@HannTheftAudio
So this what USMC buffet line looks like huh 😂
This is obviously an AI narrator. Also, the artwork at 1:15 is made with oil pastels and created by a TH-cam artist that I follow, who's content I'm pretty sure you don't have permission to use. I'll be giving the TH-camr a heads up about that.
Girl plz
Imagine going through all this work... ....to make Roseart crayons 😅
I love this ! ❤
Fascinating. Thank you. One of my favorite things is a brand new box of Crayola Crayons.
did he say “cyndrilical” or am i crazy
Damn these food making videos always makes me hungry 😩
What's with the ai thumbnail? Could you not have found an actual photo from your own video to use?
This is your contribution to the comment section?😅
@@Frenchplumber87Yes. A shitty ai thumbnail and chatgpt sounding script doesn't give me a lot of trust in the information given in the video. Not every comment discussing a video needs to be positive.
It’s entertainment,it’s a business..attract more viewers,more flash=more cash
Its for continuity and to boost views using youtubea algorithm
Wow. This was very fascinating and satisfying to watch. Who knew making crayons is such an intricate process? Human ingenuity is amazing.
Any Marines watching this is gonna have a field day😂
I guess they need them to sign their names on the forms when they sign up to defend and DIE for our country!
@@randygreen007 no to eat silly😂
i'm amazed that manufacturing was never exported to that 'asian' country ... and still maintained its quality and price point .. chances are they would have contaminated it with heavy metals or such ... i rememebr a copy cat batch with lead it in, i can't remember any recalls for crayola for contamination in all the decades its made .. from my grandpa to my grandson ... it takes a very long time to get that kind of reputation, kudos to you and more power to made in USA
