Talk:Chupa Chups
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waiting for a list of Chupa Chups flavours...
"In the early 1950s, Bernat worked for an apple jam factory. As he introduced later his idea of lollipops to the investors, they left." Those investors didn't like lollipops? What is this text supposed to mean?

[edit] Existance of Photo Pop?
I've found no refference of Photo Pop on their website and have only managed to find a few people mentioning its existance on the web. I am unable to locate any details about this extremely odd idea for a candy, much less any place where it can be purchased. Can anyone verify the Photo Pop's existance?
[edit] Pronunciation
I have lived in Britain all of my life (Leicestershire and now Manchester) and I have never heard anyone pronounce the name as "CHOO-pa-choops". As far as I am aware, it is always pronounced "CHUPpa-chups" in the UK. Is there geographic variation with the UK?
- Same here - I only ever heard it pronounced like what you've heard too, in England and Ireland. I was only made aware of the correct pronunciation by a song in one of the ads. --Zilog Jones 23:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

- Same here in South Wales - I've never heard it pronounced as anything other than "CHUPpa-chups", I must have missed the Choopa-Choops advert mentioned above? 81.104.160.179 00:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm an American and here we pronounce it CHOO-pa-chups
[edit] Nationality
Chupa Chups is still Spanish, even if the acquisition is approved by the EU antitrust authorities. See Corporate personhood.--M@rēino 23:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
I'm fairly certain the sentence "The Chupa Chumps logo was designed by the surrealist The Archangel Rossiter." has been inserted as a bit of, um, not so accurate information. According to the Salvador Dali page, he designed the logo, not in fact The Archangel Rossiter. I think it's also properly "Chupa Chups" sans "m".
By the history of the page, this seems to be a periodic recurrence. 72.77.161.171 01:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
