Last week, Crayola announced its plan to “retire” a crayon from its classic 24-pack.
And in celebration of National Crayon Day, the company revealed the historic yellow crayon - known as Dandelion, to Crayola fans - would be the colour “announcing his retirement”.
Crayola confirmed the news on Twitter, posting a strange video of an animated Mr. Dandelion travelling the world as a free crayon.
The internet had a lot to say about the controversial decision.
"So sorry Dandelion is going. As an art teacher we LOVED using that colour!" wrote one.
Another added: "NOOOOOOO Dandelion is our favourite yellow shade!"
"Why couldn't you have taken yellow green instead?" asked another.
Dandelion will be replaced with a crayon in "the blue family''.
The company says it will leave it to fans to come up with a name for the replacement colour.
