When you think of Crayola, you think of times spent coloring pretty drawings of rainbows, butterflies, and even blocks. Well, Facebook followers of the company got an eyeful when Crayola’s account was compromised.
E! News reported that the hacking took place on Sunday and included very R-rated photos that were not on par with the company’s family-friendly brand. One included an image with the caption “The story of 20 toes told in 20 mint.” You can guess exactly what this was about.
Crayola immediately took to Twitter to let their followers know they were aware of the hacking and said they were “making every effort to stop the unauthorized posts.” They also said, “We don’t condone the inappropriate and offensive content being posted to the fraudulent Crayola FB page & sincerely apologize to our fans.”
We're aware of the situation on our official FB page, which was hacked today, and making every effort to stop the unauthorized posts.

Once they were able to take back their page, they made another apology note to their fans, including a message in thanks for “the feedback and support we received while working to resolve the issue.”
USA Today reported that the company has nearly 2.5 million people who follow their Facebook page and their posts are mainly about the use of crayons and gifts.
