Talk:Rice Krispies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't see any mention of the Razzle Dazzle Rice Krispies cereal that were sold for a while. I think they were basically a berry one (similar to Fruity Pebbles), but I can't really remember. Anybody know? Thunderforge 02:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image caption
Whilst reverting the removal of the Rice Krispies box image, I changed the slogan back to what the original inserter had written (original insertion). It was changed in this edit, but no reason was given. As the box doesn't look at all 1970s in design (without knowing better, I'd have said it was 10 years old at most), I've reinstated the original slogan. Fourohfour 10:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Reinstated again. An "early" Rice Krispies box suggests even earlier than the 1970s. Original caption claims otherwise, and it doesn't look that old. Fourohfour 14:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Whoever submitted the image stated that it was from the 1990's should make a better clarification. I've been around the 1990's, and I don't remember the Rice Krispies box ever looking like that. Whoever stated that this box was from the 90's should state what country that design was from, because it never looked that way in America]; Snap, Crackle and Pop look way too odd-looking to consider it to be the way they looked in the 90's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.234.207.80 (talk • contribs) .

- The design is definitely quite modern; the appearance of the gradients and their use in that manner looks quite recent; the lettering isn't flat, like it would have been in the 1980s or before. It might not be a U.S. box, but it's definitely not older than the 1990s. Fourohfour 14:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Protection for this page?
It seems to me that there has been quite a bit of vandalism on this page as of late. Maybe it's best to protect this page for a little while? Or semi-protect it at the least? Thunderforge 05:17, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This article has conflicting information.
This article: (http://home.howstuffworks.com/question393.htm), states that "In the case of a Rice Krispy, you pop the rice similar to the way you pop popcorn"
Not baked as described on the front page. It's even linked to this reference in the "External links" section.
i work at kelloggs in London Ont. and make ricekrispies and special k. I can assure you it is not made with corn mixture but rather using the rice grain boil with flavour,dried, tempered and toasted —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.106.128.5 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Tom Jones Restaurant: removed
I removed the "Tom Jones Restaurant" section:
- In 2005, Kellogg's held a contest to see which restaurant served the best Rice Krispies in the nation. With 67% of the judges' votes, Tom Jones Restaurant in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania received top honors. Costumed iterations of Snap, Crackle, and Pop presented the diner with a golden box of Rice Krispies in recognition of this accomplishment.{{cite needed}}
No citation had been provided, and I could not find any sources which were not derived from this article. This is ropey for something you'd expect to have been reported. Unless a clearly independent source can be given, this has no place in the article. Fourohfour 11:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
The section about snap, crackle, and pop in other languages contains "* Romanian: "Kim! Kan! Kum!" I'm not quite sure if this is serious or a joke. Can we get a confirmation from a Romanian speaker?
[edit] Cereal Slogans
I distinctly remember "Wake up call to the world" being a Rice Krispies slogan used in the late 1990's. Someone keeps deleting it whenever I add it back in. Could whoever's responsible for this please stop doing that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Luckybolt (talk • contribs).
- Hi there,
- When did you add the slogan? There seems to be quite a lot of people adding slogans that might or might not be bogus. Although I don't recall removing any personally, it may have been tagged as "citation needed" and later removed.
- In light of the problems, a reference would be useful if you wish to add it again (and watch out for circular references from sites which mirror Wikipedia!) Thanks. Fourohfour 17:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
