Crayola Experience giveaway includes 8 retired crayon colors
Eight retired colors — including raw umber and blizzard blue — are back for the Crayola Experience Million Crayon Giveaway, which starts later this month.
Participants can choose to include the long-lost hues alongside 70 other colors as part of the free 32-count boxes from the attraction's Pick Your Pack wall. Among the revived choices is dandelion, which was retired in 2017. There are also magic mint (a fluorescent green), mulberry and blizzard blue, which have been out of circulation since 2003, along with orange-red, violet-blue, lemon yellow and raw umber (an earthy brown), which have been out of the box since 1990.
Crayola says it's the first time in the company's history, which dates back to the 1880s, that it is bringing back a collection of retired colors, and they will only be available for a limited time.
The giveaway is free, but registration is required at CrayolaExperience.com/orlando. At the site, users are asked to select a date and location for their visit. Registrants must be at least 18 years old, and sign-ups are on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is a limit of two boxes per household.
The Crayola Experience attraction in Orlando is located inside Florida Mall. There are also locations in Easton, Pennsylvania; Plano, Texas; Chandler, Arizona; and in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. Crayola Experience outlets provide hands-on creative activities that explore art and technology. A retail store is attached. Visitors may purchase limited-edition retired color products at the store.
Giveaway dates begin March 31 — aka National Crayon Day — and run through May 23 while supplies last.

35 Fun Things To Treat Yourself To This Summer
A 3-in-1 Lego set with everything you need to build three summer-ready critters. The 288-piece set can be rearranged to make a flamingo, axolotl, or cockatoo, which can be moved into different poses. Costing less than $25, it's a pretty solid deal compared to most Lego kits. Pickle cashews because real brineheads know that literally anything tastes better with a little dill and garlic flavoring. Warning: Only open this bag if you're prepared to eat all 5 ounces because reviewers say these are capital T tasty. A brick-shaped mold so you can found your own sand construction company and start building beach-front properties. Pack wet sand into the cube and pop out bricks that will give your castles a little more structural integrity. And after beach season, you can use this mold again to make snow chalets! A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers, which honestly should have always existed. How many of us suffered the fate of losing a marker cap or attempted to color only to find the red has completely dried out? Kids these days have it easy — just click and a fresh marker tip pops out, ready for art. Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask boosted with kojic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, even skin tone, and add a little bounce. Apply the mask with a brush, get some beauty sleep, and awake to see the gift of ✨ glowing skin ✨ — just unwrap (peel off) and enjoy. ;) A miniature Stanley tape measurer keychain so you no longer have to wonder how tall something is and try to guesstimate with your hands. This would come in clutch when furniture shopping or calling out a date for lying about their height (JK, JK). A set of itty bitty vintage-inspired spoons — if these aren't cottagecore, I don't know what is. Set them out at your next tea party and let the compliments roll in. Praise for your good taste? Sweeter than two lumps of sugar. A clay charm kit so you can begin your foray into jewelry design. It comes with a metal bracelet, findings, and enough clay to make up to 35 different charms. Is it Pandora? NO it's Klutz. A Flamingo Estate candle whose smell can best be described as "sticking your nose directly in a pile of tomatoes at the farmers market." The fragrance is fresh, herbaceous, peppery, and PERFECT for summer. A pack of glittery paint pens to add some razzle-dazzle to your crafts. Phone cases, furniture, rocks from outside — nothing will be safe from the glitter ray once you see how deliciously smooth and pigmented these things are. Teeny-tiny onigiri vases who look thrilled by the opportunity to hold your new clippings and flower buds. Each smiling rice ball is handcrafted, so they're all unique. A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this ~$5 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, and cotton candy. An ACOTAR hair claw featuring all the published books from everyone's favorite steamy romantasy series. Unlike other novelty clips, this one is still shaped like a traditional claw, meaning it can actually hold up thick hair — probably even Lucien's luscious locks! An expanding file folder you can fill with up to 200 pieces of paper and free up sooo much desk space. As an accordion folder follower, I have to say these things are top-notch for organizing everything from restaurant menus to ticket stubs. Reusable water balloons if you're sick of every balloon fight ending with little pieces of plastic littering your lawn. The silicone balls self-seal when filled with water and explode on contact. A pretty ribbed bikini that's so cute, mermaids will come out of the ocean just to compliment you. It comes in a TON of colors, so good luck picking just one! Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix in a variety of exciting, summer-ready flavors ranging from watermelon to pina colada. Besides being delicious, the electrolyte powder is formulated to help hydrate faster than plain water. It also just tastes good so you might be more likely to drink more in general. Sour blue raspberry gushers for masochist snackers who think their tongue has had it way too easy. One reviewer says these are 4–5 levels MORE sour than Sour Skittles. 🫣 A can of whipped crea— I mean, sunscreen that just looks like dessert, so don't eat it, OK? This tasty-looking skincare will make you feel like a cherry pie instead of looking like one (baked and bright red). Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder, a low-maintenance option for makeup minimalists who want a matte, yet still radiant, complexion. It absorbs oil and blurs pores, leaving your face as glowy as a forest nymph. An acrylic grid box for your tiniest treasures. The clear design ensures that your discoveries can be properly viewed, like a miniature museum. And if you fill it with sea glass, it'll create a stained-glass effect when you hold it up to the light! A pack of *limited edition* fabric Band-Aids with such fun, summery patterns, you'll find yourself actually wanting to get a paper cut just so you can wear one. A beeswax tulip candle that looks so much like the real thing, you could probably prank your guests when you light it up. I, for one, would never dare to set something so pretty on fire — it's going under a bell jar, Beauty and the Beast-style, forever. A glow-in-the-dark capture the flag game sure to be a hit on temperate nights. This game can accommodate two teams of five and is great for all ages, so even your neighbors can join the fun. Groovy Fruit, a summery variation from the beloved NeeDoh fidget toy line. The orange, banana, and strawberry toys are non-sticky and have the *perfect* amount of give, securing themselves a place in the stress ball hall of fame. A miniature stapler-in-gelatin set, which may very well be in the running for best office decor ever. It comes with a lil' book of Office quotes and a recreation of Jim's aspic prank, which plays quotes when pressed. Slam the button whenever you need a quick "That's what she said!" from Michael Scott. Lottabody Wrap Me Curl Mousse, a whipped-cream-like delight that defines curls, moisturizes with shea and coconut oil, and tackles frizz. The foam makes it super easy to distribute throughout your hair, and the heavenly scent will make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation. Mama Teav's Hot Garlic Chili Crisp sure to become your go-to condiment this summer. Throw it on pizza, chicken sandwiches, salads, I cream? Reviewers love the flavor and the fact it's free of sugar, soy, gluten, or other common allergens. A magnetic meal planning pad with a super cute, summery design and detachable shopping list so you don't have to hem and haw about what to make for dinner. If you plan out the whole week in advance, maybe you'll finally be able to finish an entire bag of spinach! A pack of self-heating lavender eye masks to help you get in the zone and let off some steam if upcoming summer travel plans, that one broken AC, an ant infestation, etc., have got you STRESSED! Just open, pop one on, and it'll heat up to 113 degrees — no microwave needed. Reviewers note that these are also great for headache relief. A giant bubble kit with a two-handle wand so you can all compete to make the biggest bubble. Just make sure no one tries to trap the dog in a soap ball prison. A high-end bottle of Takesan Kishibori soy sauce if you ever want to learn what you're missing by sticking with grocery store brands. No offense to Kikkoman, but this elevated sauce from Shodoshima, Japan offers a richer, more complex flavor that has happy reviewers pledging their allegiance. A floating cabana, so now any pool can have a swim-up bar. The nearly 6-foot-long inflatable offers shade, drink holders, and places for your ice or ingredients. With such a legit setup, I wouldn't blame you if you charged your guests for drinks. An alarmingly adorable capybara night-light to keep you company on sleepy summer evenings. Just bop your new silicone friend on the head to toggle through seven different colors and three dimness settings. And if you opt for the flower version, it comes with two different buds to hold. 🥹 A swimsuit with ruched sides and drawstrings that allow you to customize your fit, sort of like a corset. Reviewers like that the strings can change how much coverage you get, so you can adjust the look throughout the day. Phoenix and Miles sticky notes in case arguments with your roommate have left the passive-aggressive text stage and have entered a full-on aggressive realm that could be compared to a legal battle. Buy one for yourself and one for your opponent so you can duke out the case of "whose turn is it to do the dishes?" And L-shaped scissors so you can easily slice through all the gifts from Summer Santa coming your way. The Japanese stainless steel blades are designed to create the perfect angle that can glide through everything from cardboard to annoying plastic clamshell packaging. Thank you, Summer Santa! Your generosity knows no bounds. Me when I realize that I have to buy my own lil' gifts until December: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Social media howls over Kash Patel's way-too-big chair in interview
Kash Patel faced harsed mockery on social media after appearing on Fox News Wednesday sitting in a chair that was too big for the FBI director. 'Fox News .... Why did you put Kash Patel in such a high chair? He looks tiny!' giggled one X user . 'No way this wasn't intentional,' fellow X user Evan Kapitansky responded. 'Surely other chairs were available in the building??' said the original user. 'Who thought it was a good idea to put Kash Patel in this chair? He looks ridiculous,' a third critic noted. Unfortunately, the over-sized chair distracted from the interview. Patel told Fox News that his agency would be transparent in its investigation of the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump last summer. "I don't know that there's more to know, but you're going to know everything we know," he insisted as he pushed back against conspiracy theories, and vowed that Americans would learn the truth. "We take assassination attempts, especially of the president of the United States, extremely seriously," he told Fox's Bret Baier. "And we don't feel that the American people have been given the information they need on that. And we're digging through the files, and we're getting them a more robust picture of what happened and whether or not there were any connections." There was little focus on social media on Patel's words, and more emphasis on his stature. 'The optics of Kash Patel seated on a high chair across Bret Baier. How tall is Kash?' one X user said. 'Kash looks like a kid in a high chair.' Washington Post tech reporter Drew Harwell wrote on BlueSky: 'Serious issues discussed during this segment so I'm sorry, there's nothing funny about FBI Director Kash Patel sitting atop a high chair like a big boy, kicking his feet lackadaisically.' Bradford Peterson added: 'Whoever did the advance work for this Kash Patel interview is about to find themselves with a one-way ticket to Guantanamo.' Patel, meanwhile, also slammed former FBI Director James Comey, saying, 'I won't be lectured on how to run the FBI by that man.' The current director went after Comey after he posted a picture of seashells on a beach spelling out the number '86 47.' Some have seen the Instagram post as calling for violence against Trump, the 47th president. However, 86 is usually used as a term to mean that someone should be removed from a bar or a restaurant for misbehaving, or to remove an item from a menu. Comey has said that to view his Instagram post as a call for violence against Trump is 'crazy.' He has since deleted the post. 'Even if I think it's crazy, I don't want to be associated with violence of any kind,' he said on MSNBC. Patel claimed on Fox News that Comey's post has led to 'copycat' threats. He noted that Comey 'is a private citizen and he can walk around the beach and talk about seashells and Crayola crayons for all I care about, and talk about how we're the conspiracy theorists.' 'Do you know how many copycats we've had to investigate as a result of that beachside venture from a former director?' Patel asked the Fox News host. 'Do you know how many agents I've had to take offline from chasing down child sex predators, fentanyl traffickers, terrorists?' 'Everywhere across this country, people are popping up on social media and think that a threat to the life of the president of the United States is a joke, and they can do it because he did it,' he added. 'That's what I'm having to deal with every single day ... because he thought it was funny to go out there [and] make a political statement.'
