Crayola Crayons (ad, 1930s) + vintage boxes (1908, and 1962)

Crayola was founded in 1885.

Creative toys FTW! Here is a pack made between 1904 and 1912,

A 1908 vintage 6-pack,

And a colossal 1962 set of 72!

Gotta ask the marine corps. /s

On National Crayon Day in 2018, the Marine Corps posted a video to Facebook showing a Marine opening an MRE—ostensibly a gift from the Army—and finding crayons inside

Others to commercialize the trope include: veteran Tashina Coronel, who as of August 2020 was selling edible crayons and glue through her confectionery business

The company was founded by Edwin Binney and Harold Smith, who met during their shared time as U.S Marines

Is this where the trope started?!

At the very least, that is an absolutely hilarious coincidence!
