Crayola Crayons?

Question

Back when I went to elementary school, during the late '60's and early '70's, we always had to have a box of crayolas as part of our school supplies. Does anyone beside myself remember just how good those smelled? People think I am weird, but I am always going to the toy section of stores and sniffing the crayolas to see if I can find that smell anymore. (It seems that the crayons must be made differently, as I haven't smelled them like my childhood crayolas for years now.) Does anything else like this remind you of your childhood years?

Well, I was born in 1990, so I'm 18, but yeah. I know what your talking about.
