The 100 billionth Crayola crayon was a limited edition color called 'blue ribbon'!

Crayola is the largest crayon manufacturer in the world, has 99% name recognition is US households, and is distributed in over 80 countries. They have made so many crayons since they released the first box in 1903, which had only eight different colors, that they reached 100 billion in 1996!

In honor of the huge achievement, Mr. Rogers agreed to mold the legendary crayon and named it “blue ribbon.” There have been several other interesting innovations throughout the years including over 133 different colors currently in use, washable crayons that can be drawn on walls, and twistable crayons that don’t need to be sharpened!
