If we had THEN…what they have NOW!

::UPDATE:: I apologize for the lack of updates to this site. BUT TODAY is the re-ignition of cameronfontana.com! Thanks to everyone who has continued to visit and has continued to be disappointed by NOTHING BEING ADDED. This site shall be static no more!

In elementary school (and maybe a couple days of middle school until I realized I was too old for it) everyone’s daily creative capabilities pretty much depended on one thing….Your Crayola crayon box. I hate to say it, but your “creative” and possibly social status was kind of affected by how big your box was. They had boxes as low as 8 and, at the time, all the way up to the 96 with the sharpener on the back! I remember pulling out my 96 pack and admiring the vast array of colors I beheld (screamin’ green was my favorite). You’d occasionally have the kids who got the RoseArt crayons without realizing how waxy they were and how they DID NOT COLOR. Hey, I was a victim once of the RoseArt scam….we all were. But then you’d make a new friend, or a new enemy, when the “RoseArt Victim” would ask to borrow some colors. They usually became the latter when they’d return your crayon covered in fragments of other stupid, non matching colors and too short to sharpen.
BUT TODAY, I saw a commercial for something new. They NOW have the Crayola Crayon Maker; The ability to create your own colors! You put in whatever color sticks you want, it melts it all together, and you have your very own original color. I don’t care who you are, if it was the 90’s all over again and I had BOTH the 96 Box AND the Crayola Crayon Maker…I truly believe colors, today, would be taken to an entirely new dimension. A
And hey, maybe the colors wouldve been SO SWEET, I could’ve made it cool to keep them through middle school, and maybe even high school.

What do you wish you had then that they have now? BESIDES THE iPHONE…
