When I was little (in the 1950’s), grape was my favorite flavor – Nehi Grape soda, grape taffy, grape bubble gum. There was no way I wasn’t going to chew on the purple crayon.
A girl I was frienemies with years and years ago probably would have reacted just like that. Purple was her favorite color. In fact, we were playing the Atari Breakout game and one of the stripes was purple. If the ball hit purple, she’d keep telling me don’t hit purple. Don’t! Only she was allowed to hit purple. Helllloooooo……A: Once the ball hit the bat and shot back up, I had no control over which way it went (hadn’t learned how to maneuver the bat so the ball would go a certain way). B: If I was ever going to complete the level (never did in those days) I was eventually going to have to start hitting purple! What was I supposed to do? Clear all the colors below purple and then just quit the game? I don’t think so.

Someone get a Marine. He’ll get the crayon.

That crayon had the unrivaled status of a flawless blue diamond! The burning question is can it be restored.

Someone get Harold. I hear he’s got a purple crayon you can use.

I see Crayola is coming out with a set of skin-tone crayons, to be sold exclusively at Walmart.

My son presented me with a whole box of purple crayons for Christmas. I’d be happy to send a couple to Alice…

I only use purple crayons to color Barney. And grape jelly.

could be more than one crayon under there; that’s where the crayons go to live out the rest of their lives when they are no longer the best one.

Things Swept Out from Under THERE by the Broom!
Kevin may not be responsible for whatever that thing is that Miss Bliss is holding. It may not be the pristine purple crayon at all!
Chill, Alice!
Beware the Dust Bunnies!
