The name "Crayola" was created by Alice Stead Binney, a
former school teacher. She put together the French word
"craie", which means "chalk", and "ola," from "oleaginous",
which means "oily", and came up with "Crayola".
Back in 2000, Crayola developed an online poll to find out
what crayon color was America's favorite, and the result
was blue.
According to a Yale University study of American adults,
the smell of Crayola crayons is ranked number 18 when it
comes to the 20 most recognizable smells.
