Did You Know About Oscar the Grouch?

Did you know about Oscar the Grouch?

I found out today a little trivia about Oscar the Grouch, our friend who lives in a trash can on Sesame Street. I watched Sesame Street when I was a kid. I liked Oscar. But I never knew that he was originally orange. Nor did I know that he was designed to show kids "non-destructive deviance", a way to learn that everyone is not "nice" or "good" and that there are grouchy people out there and how to deal with them.

I've always liked Oscar as well as all the rest of Sesame Street, but somehow can't remember Oscar when he was orange.
