[edit] Apollo Chocolate Cranberry
Fancruft. It's a fictional chocolate bar from the TV series Lost. KeithD (talk) 19:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete I love Lost, but this isn't even notable in the context of the show.--Isotope23 19:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Very, Very Weak Keep w/ Major ExpansionAbrams seems to have been drawing a lot of attention to these candy bars--they appear in the hatch and in the flashbacks, and Rose has taken one to give to her husband upon their reuniting. The author really should have gone into much more detail, but, because of how the candy bars have been portrayed thusfar in season 2, there is a good possibility that they could become almost as important as "The Numbers." Frag 19:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)- Update: Apparently, the show's creator, J.J. Abrams, borrowed the name from a popular bite-sized candy made by the Japanese candymaker, Meiji Seika. I tried wikifying the introduction and providing a bit more context, but found that my knowledge on its signficance is fairly limited, due to its so-far very limited exposition on the show. However, if Lost maintains the patterns that it has established in the past, the fact that they have made a particular point of mentioning the candy several times in the show means that it will have some strange significance later on.

- Delete. Mention this in the Lost article, but this doesn't need its own article. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 07:18, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Switching vote to: Merge - This is going to be too sigificant to just let it go unnoticed. Here's another example of its significance not previously noticed: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/board/thread/27583807. Frag

- Someone has made a screencap of a season one episode where Boone is eating an Apollo chocolate bar. At the IMDB boards, some people are speculating that it means something, some people are speculating that it's just a prop, and it's nothing more than the chocolate bar in the Lost world, like Oceanic Airlines is the airline in the Lost world. In terms of Wikipedia, I think it may well become significant, and require its own article, but at the moment it's not significant, and we have nothing to go on beyond our own speculation.

- Oh, sorry, I have my IMDB account info saved in Firefox, so I completely forget that you have to be logged in to view the threads. My apologies. Anyway, let's just merge this into Lost (television) for the time being. Frag
