[edit] Balance

This article seems like it was written by the Baskin Robbins p.r. team. It should be more balanced. Aaronproot

[edit] University of Illinois Evanston?

No such place, my friends. 66.210.31.26 19:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Addition of sources

Please cite sources - most of the information on this page is not mentioned on the company's website, which is the sole source here. Captainktainer * Talk 16:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some interesting articles

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3301/is_6_103/ai_87469112 - on BR manufacturing; changes, etc. Trade publication.

"24 million gals of ice cream processed each year in 14 plants"

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3301/is_n8_v99/ai_21166211

"as one of the world's leading experts on the dietary link with the environment and" - on the flavor arm of the company, which does some outside business as well.

"Baskin-Robbins Flavors started as the vertically integrated supplier to the retail system but quickly exceeded its original mission and began developing flavor systems for a select external customer base."

I've looked through the first 50 of this search(which has 1216 items); will do more later. JesseW, the juggling janitor 23:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Torgo?

Looks like vandalism to me, but maybe it just needs disambiguation. Where I live, there is some combining of a Baskin-Robbins and a doughnut store in one location. Lou Sander 14:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

It's Togo's. I fixed it. I live in Los Angeles and they already have the Togo's and Baskin Robbins merged. Why sigh, cutie pie? 00:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. No Togo's here in Steeler Country, but B-R sometimes shares premises with (Mister or Dunkin') Donut. Probably owned by the same company. Lou Sander 01:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dirt n Worms

Anyone remember this flavour? - Mlaheji 08:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poker Hand

Not sure where (or if) this would fit into the article, but Baskin Robbins is also the nickname of a poker hand, a 3 and an Ace, in reference to the "31 Flavors". Brainscar 06:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie Reference?

Once, I watched this movie and a Baskin Robins Truck was in the movie. I don't know what the movie was called, but I think someone should find out and put it as a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.130.240 (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo baskinrobbins.gif

Image:Logo baskinrobbins.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
