Largest crayon in the world

EASTON, Pa.--Do you think you've ever met anyone, in the United States at least, who hasn't played with Crayola crayons? The odds are low. Crayola makes 3 billion of the wonderful colored drawing implements a year. And it's a surprisingly simple process to make them.

On Road Trip 2010, CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman visited Crayola to see how these ubiquitous wax wonders are created.

In its store, Crayola displays this crayon--the biggest in the world, which was made to celebrate the company's 100th birthday. It weighs 1,500 pounds, is 15 feet long, and was created with crayons donated by children around the country.

This crayon could draw a single line 10 miles long, or color in an entire football field.
