Crayola factory workers can get a little blue on the yellow sunshine days of summer while their pals are away vacationing just now. That's because they're churning out a massive 13 million crayons a day at company's flagship factory in Easton, Pennsylvania, for the start of pre-school and bigger-kid classes.
Production jumps at least 8 percent this time of year, and the company makes half of its sales now from July 4 to Labor Day mostly through the major retailers like Amazon.com, Target and Walmart, Bloomberg reports.
